MFM Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Gutted. http://oi40.tinypic.com/9u812x.jpg http://oi39.tinypic.com/6oit0k.jpg Sorry to see this and it must have been quite scarey whilst in accident motion. I hope your insurance works out ok. Cars you can replace but people no. Good luck ~~~Mike Quote
Vik54 Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Ouch!! Good you're ok She will be written off - at least you can treat it as a fresh start - its just totally gutting though Quote
4RE Leather Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 We have all been there, and I feel for you. In the cold light of day I know that words can't make you feel better exept echo what all but one have said. You are alive!! And the last thing you need are folk stating the obvious when the wounds are raw. There is always one:(~ Recon there will be a fight for spare parts! Thenoname Quote
Cragus Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Sorry to see this mate and I know it will be far too are to make you feel any better right now but at least nobody was injured. Hope the insurance goes smoothly and the new car shopping experience makes you feel a little better. Quote
Sam Mcgoo Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Sorry to see this, must be gutting. Thinking you should go for Tricky Dicky's Skyline350GT or G35/37 if your needing 4 seats. Stay Jap. Step away from the BMW's Quote
ChrisS Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Thinking you should go for Tricky Dicky's Skyline350GT or G35/37 if your needing 4 seats. Bloody good call it's a beaut. Your OK so that's enough. Quote
gangzoom Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Go and get your self a 335i or M3, quicker than a Z but with back seats Quote
Rob22 Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 So sorry mate. But the car has done her job well there, kept you safe to walk away tell us about it . Good luck with whatever you decide to go for! Quote
daveparkin Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Gutted for you mate - I know it doesn't help much right now, but as others have said the main thing is that nobody was hurt and the metal box around you took the worst of it! Hope you get a good outcome from the insurance claim, and enjoy looking for a replacement. Quote
andylb Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Can I be the first to say: "It'll come out with a bit of T-Cut that" Quote
4RE Leather Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Can I be the first to say: "It'll come out with a bit of T-Cut that" That I got to see!!! Thenoname Quote
Simon+Kat Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 So Sorry to see what happened mate, i planted mine in a hedge a while back, written off, bit of insurance shennanigans later and i ended up with a much better Z than the one i killed! Lower milage, newer, 'every cloud....' and all that, what, what! Quote
S1an1de Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 shame to see that happen, nice that every one is ok... in other news ... is that the fabled 2007 bonnet bulge ....it looks a bit different than my 2006 ? Quote

bronzee Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 It's not the worst. Your girl did her job well, as sad as she looks, you're still here, which is more important. Quote
rothers2901 Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Yep ABS fail. Sorry but I would say it sounds more like it was driver error, as in you were probably too close to the car in front. I am sorry to see your car like that but lets not have any BS. +1, Too fast, Too close, Wet roads = Worst Friday morning ever. On a plus though, glad everyone is ok. Quote
Marios Posted January 8, 2012 Author Posted January 8, 2012 Yeah thanks everyone. Started the shopping already looks like it will be BMW, maybe a 335 or maybe a M Sport. Did want to get a 370z but its just not practical anymore Special thanks to Trackpig for being a true gent as well! Quote
sipar69 Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Yeah thanks everyone. Started the shopping already looks like it will be BMW, maybe a 335 or maybe a M Sport. Did want to get a 370z but its just not practical anymore Special thanks to Trackpig for being a true gent as well! So sorry to see your car in that state but good to hear you're ok. I'm not making any judgements about what happened since I wasn't there, but as a general observation from someone who only passed the driving test a year ago and still has the advice about the old two second gap ringing in my ears, I am constantly amazed by some of the high speed tailgating I see. My driving is far from perfect (made a bad mistake on a busy roundabout yesterday in fact) but I try to always leave a good gap between me and the guy in front if I can. Let me repeat, I'm not judging your situation - just making a general observation about what I see. Quote
trackpig Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Special thanks to Trackpig for being a true gent as well! No problem, anytime Quote
