wallis Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 The snow has ruined all my plans for the week And also my car now it seems! After being stuck in traffic on bad roads for 6 hours today, i finally got back home to Lincoln to pick up the car transporter to take my car to AFR to be finished. However it appears we have had 6"+ of snow and its still chucking it down now. I ended up getting my van stuck on the way to get the transporter and had to be towed back to almost my house, my van is now completly stuck on the drive and snowed in! Just to really finish of a nightmare day my wife rings me to tell me the circus tent which my supra has been hiding under for the last few months had collapsed onto the supra and she was worried it had damaged it:blink: I got home to a pile of snow and metal poles on top of my car! The poles had snapped with all the snow and freezing conditions, i was so gutted! It looks like its scratched and dented the roof and scratched the brand new carbon bonnet and wings and bumper.......i wanted to cry:( So thank u snow for really foookin up my plans, all i need now is for the hotel i had booked for AFR not to refund me or credit me, and it really is the perfect day from hell....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprab1 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Oh man gutted for you. Hope you get your refund from the hotel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS2004 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Have you checked to see if you can claim on your home insurance for that? Really sucks dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Ahhh mate, i'm gutted for you !! How badly are the scratches? What colour is the car, Lucerne Silver? If so, Halfolds do it in a rattle can (i know Halfrauds its perfect haha), i used it before to repair a scratch on my old one and it was a pretty good match, you couldnt notice it at all after a bit of feathering. I think their is something you can do with Carbon Fibre as well which is quite straight forward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-_-b Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 That sucks : Depending on how deep the scratches are you may be able to sort them out as a stop-gap until you take it to a bodyshop to sort the dent. Hope things start to brighten up for you!! : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
