Some Slight Accident Damage

[SavageUK]

Well i guess it had to happen eventualy :









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!!

[XMN]

yep, sorry to hear, glad your OK

[Ricco_04]

Not a nice sight to see but glad your ok

[SavageUK]

cheers, not a scratch on me, quite lucky really.

[XMN]

what you going to do with the car now?

[SavageUK]

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

[grinder]

CRICKEY - i would be thankful that i walked away from it

cars can be replaced - lives cant

[robedwards99]

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

[Mobilemick]

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.
