Im white van man now as Dan will testify!!!!

hey I didn\'t spend a saturday morning sticking stuff on your van for you to call it white! it\'s white and blue now!

Keep us updated on the insurance process ash, i think a lot of people will like to know what they can expect if the worst happens.

well, i got bored of waiting for the insurance to come through so i\'ve *cough* gone and bought a cheap s14 to pootle about in - goes well but nothing like the rx7 did. At least its jap, rwd and tubbed. Hopefully cheaper to run for a year while i save up for the mother of all rexes. I\'m still in love with rx-7s so i\'ll be back as soon as funds allow! I\'m going to have to migrate to sxoc *ahem* for a bit i\'m afraid. All the best - i\'ll still be keeping up with the rotary scene. I\'ve got a few nice fd bits for sale i\'ll get round to posting in the sale section soon.

Sorry to hear of another FD getting wiped out, but very pleased to hear that you are OK.
Cars can be replaced.

Ash,

No doubt you\'ll be back... Silvias are OK, but they\'re not as much of an event to drive as a rex.

Been seeing a lot of news about people smashing their cars this winter. The roads in the UK must be lethal with so much black ice around.

Good to see you\'re taking it so well anyways. Good luck!

whoa, glad to hear your alright, these Rx\'s are really tough arnt they (and so are you!!!) mate maybe you should go to the hospital and get the all clear, sometimes you dont know.

and well done on getting the job matey!

Miguel, in Japan what do they put on the roads when it snows? I understand they don\'t salt or grit the roads, so do they snow plough the roads and make you use snow chains?

well, got the insurance co cheque from NIG and banked it today. I have to say, apart from being a bit slow (six weeks, seemed a long time but i\'m told it isn\'t!) they were very good really. Car was valued by the insurance co inspector at the expected price, which was exactly the same as i bought it for - so zero depreciation in 6 months - not bad. (but £1800 spent which is lost, obviously). I had "maximum protected" no claims, so switching to the silvia hasn\'t cost me any more in premium. When i can afford to run a rex as a weekend/trackday toy i\'ll definitely get another one - theres some awesome ones for sale at the moment - but this year i\'m going to be doing a lot more commuting so i\'m going to wait and see what pans out. Also moving house from Southampton to Canterbury area in April, so financially all a bit tight at the moment (guess i could have bought a micra...naaah). So, there you go, its all over on the rotary front for a bit - but i\'ll be back!

take care y\'all now,

Ash
