Fcuking bonus for ya mate, good skills, have another light green blob Mr Lee H:thumb:
No problems, would much rather see it go back on the road than be crushed. I loved that car.
Cheers for the rep people.
Good lad, its mint to see everyone pitching in to help out in another members hour of need, and people say this place is going downhill, i sincerely beg to differ :p
As above, brilliant to see loads of people trying to help get this sorted out. :thumb:
shame you didnt take her out, what a daft cow! gives us good female drivers a bad frickin name i tell ye!.
glad ur sorted for a new shell though
yeh exactly lmfao!!! lollollollollollollolQuote:

And yeah, 30/40mph seems fook all when you are driving that speed, until you hit something stationary and then it hurts, a lot!
Good luck with the rebuild mate,hope the engine is ok.
And and for your sake hope the other driver admits liability to her insurance, people say "it was my fault, blah blah" at the time of the crash, but once theyve slept on it and had time to think they can easily say something different to the insurance.....
as above the same happend to a pall of mine in his sh*t 106 a old woman pulled out on him said it was her fault then after all it ended up going to court as she tried to blame his speed!! ended up going 50/50 as we were going too fast for the road!!
Yup/\
A few days/nights gives people time to think up a good story, especially if there was no witnesses
naughty Guin lol
yep screwed my mate over she'd admitted it was her fault at the scene off the crash he won the first court case but she appealed then we actually had to go court ourselfs!! when we brought up that she admitted it her lawyer denied it!! then once our speed was mentiond we lost the case we were 10 mph over the limit like but she still saw us then pulled out any way!!
i have read that your speed is irrelevant - if another car pulls out and you have to change your speed to avoid a collision, it is entirely their fault as they have used poor judgement
we still lost our case beacasue off it mate!!! must depend on the barrister or what ever they are! they did seem to take the old woman's side as soon as our speed was mentiond though!!

At the roadside he admitted liability but then after speaking to his (traffic cop) dad he decided to chance it and say i had run the lights as he was waiting at a green light (for straight on) and a filter arrow to tell him when he was safe to go, if he had the filter light then obviously mine would be red, as it was mine was 100% green as it went green in front of me and the filter wouldnt come on for about another minute or so, he argued it all the way until i pointed out the the insurance company there were brand new cctv cameras watching the junction, luckily it caught him jumping the filter, mine being on green and him racing the corsa in front of him which was why his impact speed was 50+ mph as he hit me.
Unfortunately he was watching a few lasses on the corner as he turned in and didnt see me at all, so he didnt even brake, so there were no skidmarks to measure to determine his speed:eek:
He got away with attending one of those 'driver improvment' courses:cry:
I was told this many years ago by my driving instructor as i pulled out in front of someone on a 'mock' test, he slowed down and undertook me in the bus lane (which at that time i shouldve used) and he told me i wouldve failed due to incorrect use of bus lane, i.e. not using it when i should, and dangerous driving due to causing the other driver to alter their driving because of my actions, if you cause another car to brake or swerve because of something you have done, you are at fault:thumb:Quote:

i just got neg repped from awo6, wow, childish!!
im really glad your getting it sorted again mate,
makes my rep for this club go even higher :)
My old 205 van got wrote off as some guy pull out from a T junction in front of me, he said he never saw us, the fact i took the action to swerve meant he hit the side off my van instead of us hitting the side of his..Quote:

Although i do still know where he lives.. :witch:
As for the people who pull out at one junction only to travel down one junction and make you brake like hell when theirs no traffic behind you, these people need to wake up and think..
This is true actually, I failed a driving test for causing someone going what must have been around 60 to slow down by 'pulling out' on them from around half a mile away!Quote:

Depends where they hit you. If the damage is on the front (of their car), then they pulled out in front of you, clear cut case. If the damage is closer to the rear, then you failed to stop in time and will probably go 50/50.Quote:

it went 50/50 in the case i mentiond beacasue we couldnt stop in time!!

Turned out my Nova wasnt in there lol, infact it was in a totally different unit around 500 years further up the road because my uncle had moved it to make room, and it was totally fine :p but you know.... its still a horrible feeling :(
Its a car, at the end of the day its just a lump of metal which can be recreated, or replaced - cars can be replaced, limbs* and lives can't. I was the same when I stacked my nova at 18, upset and all that, but tbh now if I trashed a car I'd consider myself lucky I was still in one piece and get on with rebuilding or replacing it.
Mind you, I've didn't really bat an eyelid at having parts of my body cut out lol
* Well they can, but with weird looking mechanical things. lol
yeah mate thats the main thing!Quote:
