Late Xmas present

[bimmer boy 21]

So my ever so kind neighbour delivered me a late Christmas present this afternoon.... More like she drove her Range Rover out of her garage into the side of Bimmersports favourite calender car!!

Getting pretty pissed off with getting the brunt of peoples dumb-ass-ness. Still havent got my wing mirror fixed from the last epic oppsy.

Oh well it was a accident and is going to Prescion Autowerk for a quote tommorow, just looks like I wont be going away for New Years

Grrr had the worst luck lately with cars..

End Rant

So... your neighbour made a mistake and is paying for it to be rectified at the best possible place and you are telling us all about how much of a bitch she is? Your a dick

[bimmer boy 21]

I was merely making a joke out of my misfortune. its the internet, lighten up.

[Jamez 2147483647]

i think it is fair to be slightly angry, she would only pay to fix it, not for the time he spends grounded while he gets it fixed ect ect

[bimmer boy 21]

Well at least someone gets it. I mean Im totally happy that she and her Husband came over and told me what happened. I just found it funny if they asked if there was always a dent there haha. But yeah Im just pissed off that having my car sit in a panel beaters getting fixed over the holiday period kind of throws off my plans of what I was meant to do.

So hopefully shes back in tip top shape soon for summer crusing which is why I bought a new car in the first place haha

By the way does anyone know the colour code for Mauritius Blue? The colour sticker from my engine bay has gone astray I've noticed.

Max, I cant help but laugh at your comment!

Cant quite work out why you wont be able to go away for new years thou? Its only a dented door, not a write off by any means.

Oh I know I can still go away just it was all planned that I'd have my car but if its at the place getting fixed I'll be without a car. But yeah either way its still frustrating. I do count myself very lucky though it was good honest people who owned up and said they will fix it.

Max, your a muppet.

I feel ya pain Ryan lol had this happen multiple times on 4 different cars, however the bastard's always have run away. So Ray has been my best friend for doors and panels lol.

Accident sucks... looking on the bright side you have some honest neighbor..tell me where u live..i may consider moving there lol as i woke up couple of times and found out a few major dents on my car without knowing who was responsible

[bimmer boy 21]

Yea I am grateful for the honest folk of St Marys Bay haha

Now my next mission was trying to find a panel beater I trust that is open this time of year!! Oh well I'll get it done next week

[bimmer boy 21]

So, Precision was closed for over NY so I went on a mission to find another good panel beater and I ended up doing a deal with NewMarket European Panel beaters which the quote was $1040. That includes fixing the door rather than getting a 2nd hand one paint + blends and clear coat on the entire side of the car. Pretty good deal I thought.

Anyone else have dealings with them in the past?

Can do half that price (without the bog) call me..

Man, I'd be soo mad.

Well atleast it was hit by a Range Rover, not a sh*tty Honda City or something. Ha.

And atleast they've got it covered. With a Range Rover, I'm sure fixing a car door wouldn't scratch their wallet.

Chicks notice dents and stuff. Then they think automatically you're a bad driver..."Oh no, my Daddy wouldn't like me to get into your car if you were a bad driver..."

I always feel my heart ache when I see a BMW with damage.

Hope it's fine and dandy asap.

settle down dork . whos the dick now

[Guest Simon*]

Kids please

Play nice or I'll slap some of you

Hard luck Ryan - hope it all gets sorted with min fuss

[deeveus 81]

Bad luck, but good they came & told you! Some would bail & do a runner.

Interesting point here though, your car is illegally parked & if it was at the time of the accident wouldn't that make your claim via insurance a little difficult?

[Jamez 2147483647]

i think it may be a oneway street as the merc is also the wrong way?

[deeveus 81]

Yeah true, never thought of that. However, it looks like a centre line in the middle of the road there?

[bimmer boy 21]

Yea its a one way street so no illegal parking at all and plus it worked out well they just handed over $1000 cash to cover the bill. Nice and easy!

edit - The line that looks like a centre line is actually a arrow pointing one way, easy mistake

Ahhh cool. Thats a good result, I'm pretty sure the repair can be done for under that, even a new door...

Ouch! Sorry to see what happened. Very good of the neighbours to tell you about what happened. I posted a few weeks ago when someone left a big white paint mark on the back corner of my 330Ci (that I had on my name for less than 24 hours). It happened right in front of Noel Lemming at Bayfair (Mt Manganui) and there were no cameras in the parking lot.

I'm tempted to become one of those dicks that take up two car parks just to prevent people from opening their doors against mine. Although I reckon people will then go out of their way to damage the car. Instead, I just follow the good advise suggested to me by finding an open spot far away. I need the exercise anyways!
