Death of a Jap spec - Page 3

Yes I was glad it was early in the morning or else the wife and kids would have been, it was 7 in the morning and at that part of town there probably was only me, the bus and the woman that hit me on the road for miles!

It's a bit of a mess, it could be repaired..I say could, perhaps the best thing to do is get a bit of professional advice on the matter.

if he has any professional advice on the matter , they will write it off in about 5 mins... I have worked in dealer bodyshops for around twenty five years , and the trouble is , they dont like repairing stuff anymore , if its older than three years old, and worth under £2000 and needs panels welding on , then kiss goodbye to your car... sad to say but thats how it is....

Glad you're OK Thomas, know how you feel mate. I remember only too well when the big Suzuki I inherited from my father was nailed at a junction by a car that came straight out of a side road. It was a write off, offside front corner was gone, wheel was hanging off, wing ripped off. It was a solid collision, often wonder what would have happened if I had been driving something less substantial?

Really sorry to read this Thomas. It could have been a whole lot worse so hopefully you (and the car) are repairable.

Best of luck with the insurance side of things .

Very sorry to see this and read of the accident, Thomas. The car looked fantastic at the SARR. Glad that you are okay, and hope that you make a speedy recovery! Let's hope that something can be done with the car.
