Lexx Posted January 8, 2011 Author Posted January 8, 2011 If you don't mind me asking who is doing the repairs? Sherwoods Vauxhall in Darlington. They are one of the only authorised Vauxhall dealers to deal with Monaro's/R8's Quote
Husky Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Well. Managed to lose control of the R8 today, span 180, side on into a curb. Was accelerating out of a junction onto a Dual Carriageway. Back end twitched, caught it, twitched the other way and I just lost it. Speed was about 35-40mph. Intially damage doesnt look bad, but up close not good. 2 broken alloys. o/s wheel bent - quick look underneat shows its all pretty bent in there, including the shock. She's off to Vauxhall tomorrow for the garage to make a repair quote. I would suspect the price of repair wont be worth it. Especially if there is any damage to the rear diff. What a way to start xmas hols. Piccy is wrong Quote

Stew Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Maybe it's been moved. I'm sure if any prospective car purchasers want to see it Al will show them along with the pics during the repair. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 wow a thread title change as well, any one would think he was trying to sell the car on the forum or something Quote
Stew Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 wow a thread title change as well, any one would think he was trying to sell the car on the forum or something I think this title is more appropriate to be honest. The car slid into a kerb, it was repaired. It wasn't written off, not even close. any one would think you had a problem with the forum / mods or something Quote
Lexx Posted August 1, 2011 Author Posted August 1, 2011 wow a thread title change as well, any one would think he was trying to sell the car on the forum or something I changed the to title to something more appropriate. The original title was written a few hours after the accident. In my opinion it was no longer relative, and if it's something I could change regardless of my moderator status. The accident is clearly mentioned in my ad, along with what was replaced. No idea what your problem is Rich, but please stop making pointless comments just to stir things. Quote
andlid Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 I thought the dealership was taking her in though? Found a z yet? Quote
