Luke 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2008 this is what happens when a van does a U-turn in front of me just north of Rangiriri. The results are predictable. I hit the van at a little under 100kph, rolling the van and writing off my beamer. I cant remember if i posted about this in here a couple of years ago. if i did woops RIP my silver e28 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QuickSilver 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2008 Good that you weren't hurt! Now if it was a white Chorus van that would confirm my conspiracy theory. I swear they are everywhere! Looked like a bloody nice e28! Was much salvageable? How bad was the motor etc? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looked like a bloody nice e28! Was much salvageable? How bad was the motor etc? Well the insurance company brought it off me... from what i can remember. the gear box had move back about 10 inches.. The part that pissed me off was. the car went up for auction. and the insurance company woundnt tell me where.. got a phone call the day after from my mate saying he was at the auctions when it went up and it only went for 300 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
