steb9780 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 (edited) I am absolutely devastated to say I crashed my car yesterday morning. I was turning at a junction and I swerved to avoid something, and the back end hit a kerb and sent me flying the other way and onto a sort of metal fenced plant patch. I think the car is written off, one of the posts lining the plant patch has come right through the car. The bumper is smashed the rad pierced, so I'd imagine the intercooler is knackered too. It also looked like the wheel had pushed back to, so maybe suspension and wheel damage. I am absolutely gutted, to say the least. My life has been really low since splitting from my girlfriend of 7 years. I am over her, but have been really lonely since. I have struggled moneywise ever since too, having a house on my own. Now this really is the final kick in the teeth. I hope I can get another though, as I love the car to pieces and the members club. The people on here really are the best people around. But I have always toyed with the idea of an RX-7. So I thought of maybe one of those and a diesel runaround. But financially I don't think it will be possible.

steb9780 Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 Thanks people, no I haven't taken any photos. I was too gutted to do anything. I was in a state of shock all day. Just couldn't face upto doing anything. I am working tomorrow, so hopefully that might take my mind off things a bit. I can't bare to go home at the moment, being alone in the house is just what I don't need at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steb9780 Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 Yes mate me too. Thanks mate. They are assessing the car on Tuesday I think.

Homer Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Really sorry to hear this Steb They are assessing the car on Tuesday I think. How long do these thinks tend to take, does anybody know? If it is a write-off that is. In my experience, not long at all. The last time I had a phone call from the assessor the same day (though that was on a BMW, not a supra). Who are you insured with?

steb9780 Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 Sorry there people had typed a post in there but I must have not hit the enter button peoperly. The damage might not have been as bad as I think, but it won't take long for the parts to tot up on these cars, as you will all know. I am insured through Sky Insurance, to be honest I have only heard mainly good things about them on here, so I hope everything goes smoothly.
