    Spun it!

    Taking it's time as I expected but apparently the car has gone to a salvage yard, which I'm assuming means it's been a write off, which I was hoping for in a way cos I didn't want mine back repaired. I didn't have protected no claims but had 4 years, apparently I will only lose 2 of those, which I was over the moon about as you can imagine. So with my gap insurance and only losing the 2 years no claims it hasn't turned out all bad. More I think about it the more I want another one. Been driving around in my works van looking at other alternatives and there really isn't anything on the road at the moment for that sort of price range that even comes close. Just hope all the younger drivers can learn a lesson from my mistake and Richie's and just take it easy and know what you're driving limits are. I know mine now, albeit a little too late.

  3. sorry,wasn't me, only got the game for the PC. Can't get used to a joypad for these types (FPS) games , can't beat a mouse n keyboard I used to play alot of counter strike and counter strike source on the PC up until recently. I was really good and playing a first person shooter on the xbox360 really narked me because I knew I wasn't as good at them as I could be on the PC however I've really got into cod4 and regulary finish top of the team. My tag is macc4 if anybody wants to add me, I play it on my 360 quite a bit in the evenings.

    Wipers

    Got some PIAA front wipers and bosch rear, plus PIAA screen wash for sale. These were bought off Phil before I ditched my car and were never fitted but the PIAA front wipers have been removed from the packaging but still have the instructions and all the parts with them. These wipers and the screenwash cost me near enough 50 quid from phil so I'm looking for £30 posted. Send me a PM on here if you're interested, first come first serve, don't really want to split the pack. Thanks.

    Binned it

    It slid down the ditch nose first, guess it jabbed into the mud and flipped it back. Only guessing, happened quite quickly. I'd like to get into a Zed again but I just think the timing is right for me to direct my money elsewhere. Plus my insurance was £1200 with 4 years no claims, I dread to think what it'd be with 0 years no claims. Just sucks, but I have only myself to blame. I'll learn from it and then hopefully in a few more years when I'm financially stable again I can go back to having a nice car, just isn't the right time at the moment now this has happened. Just wish I'd had it a little longer, really will miss it

    Binned it

    Traction control was on. Cabin stood up well yeah, regret not getting a Tonneau cover though. Think I caught a football boot to the back of the head on impact

    Binned it

    You can tell me where I can get some wax that'll get that mud out Just lost the back end on a corner it the wet, corrected it, then over corrected it, then I was strapped in my seat upside down in a ditch. My drivers side airbags and steering wheel airbag didn't go off which pi**ed me off a bit, but saying that, the passenger side took most of the impact and they did go off. Hey ho. Anyone selling a 1litre corsa?

    Binned it

    Yup, today I binned my pride and joy. Lucky enough to say I'm ok with only a slight bump on my head and it could've been 10 times worse if the ditch I landed in had water in it more than 6 inches deep. Car's a write off and I'm absolutely gutted about it as anyone would be. I have gap insurance on the car and it's fully comp so I will get the full amount of the car back, but with my no claims not being protected I don't think there's going to be any point in me going down the 350Z route again. About time now I look at putting my money towards buying a house. It's been a pleasure owning and driving the Z but I guess things always happen for a reason so I assume it's my time to move on. Pictures below are a bit @*!# because they were off my 2MP camera phone. EDIT Forgot to put a pic in to do it some justice!
  9. I'm 24, 23 when I insured it and it was £1200. Driving for 6 years 4 years no claims. Seems high reading some of the others, and I live in a village. Thieving insurance companies!
  10. You've got a wonky stubby! ooer!

    decent Zed vids

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WRbEIj- ... re=related Probably a repost but as I was watching the vids at the top I saw this. Think I read it in bonzai ages back when the guy crashed it, think it's in america somewhere. Doing crazy speed when he flips it, can't believe he walked out of it.
  12. Guess the only good thing is that you're lucky it's just the one panel, you're right, it could be alot worse. People should say something when they've done it, guess it just one of those things
