Gus 5 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 just so it saves me having to tell people, on the way back from the BMWCC meeting last night, i was hit by young woman in a brand new ford mondeo going through a give way on the motorway on ramp. the right front quarter panel is farked, as well has bonnet, headlights, and prob a few other bits n bobs. depending on the valuation could well be written off. doing all that i can at the moment, which feels like painfull little! no one was hurt, and andy was in the car with me, prob going about 20k. also had a police comms guy in the car in front of them who saw the crash and helped out heaps. so yeah....pretty pissed off.......especially since as i know that its not gonna end well being such an old car and high milage, even in mint condition. not cool will try get pics later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Andrew Report post Posted May 5, 2005 If anyone knows the area - the welly st on ramp going north - chick ran straight through the give way. Was pretty gutting picking europlate and grill off the road. Doesn't look great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only hope is Hertz would be liable as they rented a car to someone with no lisense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the car does get written off this will be the end of one of the icons in bimmersport community. My only request is that if it is written off to keep it and get whats good off it.

Andy is no.1 vultureGus, my condolences, that was a badass car in what looked to be mint condition. I'm sure you'll get plenty of help should you need it.

Gus 5 Report post Posted May 6, 2005 well got quite a few pics, but all ya really need is one..... looking hopeful for insurance, need to just confirm sh*t. at the mo not much i can do. its pretty bad...front kit f**ked, bonnet, guard, headlights, chassis bent, radiator, mounts. could easily be a write off, depending on the valuation......its pretty gutting considering all the time and money and effort gone into it, even only after 4months! will see what happens, but i got a few ideas on the back burner.....so i wont be selling any cool bits sorry guys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
