So where u driving like a prat and lost control? Be honest

I really don't know what happened, last memory I have is indicating left and the next thing I remember is sitting in the car, engine stopped in the central res.

Thanks all.

It was quite amazing when you saw the car impaled into the central reservation and the damage it sustained for me to just walk away with a bit of a sore neck a few days later... These cars are hard!...The police/ambulance where all shocked considering the impact how strong the car was.

I think even if I did have a passenger in the car they would of walked away with just a bruised arm as the other door looks much worse on the outside than what it did on the inside (seat could still be folded forward with a bit of help ).

Not sure how the bonnet bent itself in half, the scrappy reckons I may of flipped the car but as there's no damage on the drivers side I fail to see how that was possible.

Re the donor parts i'm not 100% sure what's going on with the insurance at the moment, its a case of waiting and see what they say.

Re getting another one, I would absolutely love to get another but I fear the insurance is going to be through the roof after this

Not entirely sure fellas, its made me love the car even more walking away from that!

Trouble is I don't think I could have another 350 it would feel like I cheated on her/it/him

I'm fine, just me involved

Just so happy I was in the 350 and not anything less robust. Got out of the car with no injury's at all.

It was more embarrassing falling down the hole where the lamppost was....

Well i'm going down the charge back route first off to see if that works.

Not sure how a claim would go, I guess the burden of proof would be on me to say they damaged the wheel.

The car only got MOT'd today so I guess I could see if the garage would mind being a witness on the condition of the wheel at the time of the MOT (about a hour after).

Boot, see if it opens properly then :-)

The poppers broke on one side, not sure if some little sh1t was trying to bend it off but only noticed it yesterday.

I've pulled it away from the pillar and you can see the popper is bust (bit thats attached to the car).

Are they easy to replace? as it seems like the bit the clip goes into has gone inside the pillar

Not yet guys i'll look into it abit more when im closer to the renewal date.

Im currently with Admiral its crazy how they can charge a £450 increase in a claim free year!

Wow just run through my details as I know my insurance is up in a few months and now they want 1.4k! even though i've got a years ncb

Its worse than the deprecation in the housing market.

So tempting to part ex mine for a new one ))) sssssaaaaayyyyyy nnnnooooo!

The amount of miles wouldnt worry me but the amount of work had would :-)

Only popped into Maplins to get a new battery for my alarm

Yes it was my fault I jumped into a timmy spot right outside the shop.

Anyone have any info on these guys to see whats happened to people who have cut the things off the car?

I did try and get a locksmith out to take it off but they said they wouldnt come out due to the amount of cameras in the area....They did want £100 but id rather pay the extra fiver to them than the clampers!

I'd noticed something similar about a year back and a half back. Managed to get hold of proper digital gauges. Normal running temperature is about 36/37 degrees (on the right hand portion of the plastic as you mentioned), this was testing using 3 different 350's, driving over the same circuit.

 

So after testing my Z was getting up to about 42 degrees. Had a trans fluid change not too long after that and it all settled down.

 

Is your trans at all graunchy at all??

Mine does jump a little when you go from drive to tiptronic in first

Yup, mines very twitchy at the moment.

 

 

Mine was a bit twitchy the other night when i was in a big hand in poker.

Yep - mine gets red hot too..... nothing to worry about

Great when its cold like this, not so good in the summer.

Neon tubes and Essex.......

 

I bet you had an escort and your bird had white stilettos!

 

 

Cliche hell! :lol::lol:

Actually it was a golf gti mk2

i was young and stupid!

I hope everything works out ok, I think its safe to say all our thoughts will be with you and your family andrew.

I know guys, I was young once!

Two small and two large tubes, I believe they are purple.

Suppose to be 'remote control' but I lost the remote kit along time ago, these have never been fitted to any car where simply sitting in my garage.

Ideally would like to drop these off or be picked up thus the £20 so really looking for something in the essex area.

PS: I promise not to tell anyone on here who buys them !

Reckon we could drop someone off halfway thru the tunnel with a video recorder and get em to film it? :-)

 

i think you might have the tunnel police responce unit down there before they had shut the door to the car.

 

you'd be in big trouble for stopping down there, let alone letting someone out.

 

someone might be able to walk trough on foot. their is a raised walkway in there if i remember rightly. but i don't know if they let pedestrians down there. never seen them before.

Not real old bill are they? Probably just get a ticking off and be let on ya way. I don't remember seeing any no stopping signs/red route stuff in there :-)

I'll come along for a listen!

I can remember coming home from gatwick many moons ago and making it through the tunnel before my satnav lost connection

Its o2, but its unlocked as my orange sim works in it

now £130 as I seem to have mislayed the 1gig memory card that was included !

No sounds for me either

+1 well anonying
