    unless i've missed it, was your light actually green? You mention orange and red alot. If it was green and your witness confirms it, then you have nothing to worry about, write them a letter, have you're witness sign it and they cant very well give you the ticket.

    Or do what was mentioned above with the insurance company.

    it was green when I pulled up to the intersection. Lights turned orange, waited for the first car then began my turn. Noticed the other car a wee distance back wasnt stopping, slammed on my brakes, slammed on hers and collected me at a good pace. Lights turned red pretty much as she hit me

    Witnesses couldnt say much, only seen the impact. I was the first car in the cue so I had every right to be in the middle of the intersection waiting to turn, so ill be disputing that ticket for a start

    Gutted, looks superficial wouldn't be to much to fix. Im sure someone has a cheap E34 front end lying around?

    Did you have the green light? If so fight it.

    lights turned orange, waited for the first impatient bastard, was quite a good gap so I went but this bitch decided to race the orange aswell, then collected me at a good pace

    It could go either way on this one. If the light was green would you have had enough time safely make the turn in front of the oncoming car?

    As for you being issued a ticket for not waiting behind the line. I was taught to drive by an AA driving instructor and he told me that the first car is always entitled to move to the middle of the intersection to prepare for a right hand turn. Subsequent cars may not move into the intersection until the first has made their turn.

    On the plus side... looks like the big german tank took the punishment like a champ! Hope everything works out for you!

    yeh that's what I thought, I was the first car in the cue & there was wasn't enough room hence why I waited, orange light along comes a second impatient driver, I happened to get in the way of her & yeh slams into me at a good speed which push my car back a few good meres

    Thursday 3/07/08 I had the accident.

    I was waiting at an intersection (Hereford & Manchester St), I was the first in the cue waiting on traffic.

    The lights go orange & waited for the impatient prick that wanted to beat the red, then began my turn. Along comes another brainless idiotic driver that wanted to beat the lights, I slam on my brakes, she slams on hers and hits me. Abuse flew from both directions.

    I was forced to drive up on the footpath, got out & she goes "I was on an orange!"............WHAT THE f**k

    I rang the police, got our statements plus one from witnesses which weren't much help.

    She's now denying liability & i'm left with a f**ked car because theres no way in hell i'm claiming insurance when it's her fault.

    Police ring me the next day saying they have issued us both tickets, me for sitting in the middle of an intersection instead of sitting behind the line, what the hell, never heard of that one!!!!???? and her for not abiding by an amber light.

    What the hell can I do, any help what so ever will be much appreciated!

    Cheers guys!!

    Yea best bet read all post's you can find

    i have a e32 shifter if you need it, it doesnt fit my e28 its too long so im going to have to change it,

    mine was nice and easy just make sure you have the right bolts and dribveshaft and you will have no problems if you have done a gearbox swap before

    yeh ill be after a shifter of some kind, hopefully something that can shorten the throw of it
