Thanks

If it does end up being a write off, any tips to get the valuation higher, I valued it at 6k when i took the insurance out, its 2004, 92,000 miles (avg 8k per year), full service history, last MOT (June 14) pass with no advisory's. latest service in March this year and new battery. Interior in mint condition everything works like new.

Found a couple ads online for cars same age almost same mileage going for the 6k mark so will use that to support my case.

Maybe i can get an valuation from the owners club?

Yep does suck With Admiral Group

Haha it was for my Instagram.

New tyres lots of tread, but Budget brands, previous owner was a bit stingy i guess.

Day 1 (14th April), Bought the perfect Z, good age, condition, everything, very happy to finally own after falling in love with it since watching tokyo drift as a kid.

Even put a nice tasteful decal on the back

Then was driving alone one Saturday evening (25th April) back home from super market. it was wet, the first rainfall in a long time of dry weather, creates very slippery conditions. I did a Brian O' Conner (first supra scene from fast and furious 1)

The car spun out of control as i turned slightly i did a 360 to the other side of the road, hit parked car, the impact caused me to do another 180 and then hit the car parked further down behind it. All impact was to driver side (I'm fine)

Insurance are taking it to the garage tmr to get repair evaluation, hopefully it can be repaired and not a total loss.

No windows smashes, no air bag's deployed, headlights intact, rear of car fine, boot open and shuts fine, passenger door fine. The engine has no damage starts up and runs fine, in fact the recovery guy drove it on the flat bed without issue.

From what i can see its all just cosmetic, which is surprising/lucky/fortunate bearing in mind the impacts.

• New Drivers door
  
• New drivers side rear panel
  
• new front bumper
  

If you guys spot or can think of anything else please let me know, anyway the car has gone to Thames Valley Accident Repair in Reading, they are Nissan approved.

Im also looking to get evaluations from other garages, can anyone recommend a good one at good price? iv'e heard of RT Performance in Wembly.

The garage should ring me in next 48 hours with estimate, any calculated guesses? it would be a shame for a fine Z to get written off but at least it would of gone out in style.

My 3 years no claims were on my ford focus so at least i still have those.

Of course im annoyed and upset, had my dream car realized and removed in the space of 11 days. But main thing is i'm fine and no one else involved. Will be a funny story in the pub someday

Happy to be a new owner and member.

All laughs and jokes at my expense are welcome.

Thank You.
