A combination of rain and some oil from a previous accident resulted in me losing the back end on a corner coming off a roundabout, jumping up a kerb, flying through some long grass and bushes, hiting a tree causing the car to flip over, car continues to roll 2 or 3 times down a woodland embankment - hitting various trees on the way, coming to rest in the field at the bottom 10 meters from sheep, 20 meters from a lake.
As you can see theres not much of her left, although the 99 spec front lights are intact and available :yes one of them even has the connector still attached.
The cabin is imaculate, not a mark on anything bar a few bits of glass. Considering the damage it took, and the fact it rolled and hit a few things, its a true testament to just how well these cars are made. That being said the body itself is trashed, and therefore probably a wright off
And before the assumptions set in, i was driving like a saint, can only imagine if i had been going any quicker.
oh no such a shame mate!
Sorry to hear that! Very glad you\'re ok though.
Could have been a hell of alot worse!!
yep, sorry to hear, glad your OK
Not a nice sight to see :( but glad your ok :)
cheers, not a scratch on me, quite lucky really.
what you going to do with the car now?
still got ins co to have a look and declare it a wright off yet, to be honest dont think ill have it back off them. Sheer amount of work that would need doing just wouldnt make sense.
itd be up to the ins co i guess :(
CRICKEY - i would be thankful that i walked away from it
cars can be replaced - lives cant
Sad sight. Glad no one was hurt.
Yikes, that looks a right mess, I don\'t think there\'s any doubt that they\'ll declare it a write off. If you buy it back off them you\'ll be sure to get plenty of slavagable parts off it and maybe even make a profit. If you do you can add an "L" to your screen name, (SalvageUK!!)
Glad you\'re ok, that\'s the important thing, do you think the engine is ok, you\'d probably get a good chunk of money for it if it is.
Regards
compressions tested at the end of 2006 they were all 7\'s and has stayed perfectly intact, and the interior is imaculate like i said. i suppose it would depend how much the buy it back price would be. well see what they say. watch this space for bits :P
Are u sure u werent chasing sheep ?
Ouch, thank god your fine !
Shaun
aye, chasing sheep whilst upside down :)
Have you kept the car, I only ask because you may be suprised what sort of Money you could get for the bits off it.
e.g. 1k for the seats alone!!!
Not good. Have a look into claiming if you\'ve got proof there was oil on the road that caused the accident.
**** thats messed up glad your ok sorry about your rex bud :(
Is it your Rx thats on E-bay (being broken by some salvage company)
got a link? cant seem to find it
Looking at the pics its not the same one, but it realy sad to see two Rz\'s in that condition :(

hi mate, sorry to hear about what happend :( :eek
i am interested in fron 99 lights, pop up covers and wheels, drivers door trims and maybe other bits.
thanks
What\'s different about 99 front lights, didn\'t realise there was any difference from the earlier years.
I thought it was just the bumper that changed.

if you can get the black and yellow socket that may still be attached to the car il take em an have a go mending em :)
cheers
Savage..... have you thought about contacting the highway authorities & putting in a claim as the oil from the previous accident wasn\'t cleand up properly???
