R.I.P. Supra.

I was hit on friday 21st, by a flat bed lorry from behind. The supra's rear was smashed to pieces. I walked away with whiplash, with is very lucky because it could have been much, much worse.

 

Unfortunatly, my supra was deemed beyond economical repair & therefore, written off.:cry:

 

I suppose I can now get a twin turbo!!!:yes:

 

Well, got to look for a silver lining somewhere..................

Considering the apparent innability of the insurance companies to set a worthy value for your POJ, you ought to settle for keeping the car, with a settlement amount as well, you would get more for the car if you then parted out the broken car.

There is a lot of GS300's with stellar mileage who would buy the engine, was your car manual or auto?

The insurance company have already settled on a value for the car & I have accepted. I got a very good valuation!!!!

 

It was an auto. The engine was in fantastic condition, I am sure someone will snap it up.

 

I do feel totally lucky to have walked away from it.

 

The lorry driver admitted liability in front of an independent witness.

Sorry to hear the news mate, as you say though you should be thankful to walk away. Good luck with getting yourself another :thumbs:

where the is blame, there's a claim.

 

I crash into my mrs last month (long story) and she didnt even have to claim personal injury, they just offered it. Get a few more quid like that if you have not already. She wasn't even injured, I was the one on the spinal board (go figure)

totally gutted for you mate and glad you came out of it okay

 

...another silver lining is that patch of rust on your aerotop won't be causing you any problems!!

Exactly!!!

 

I've got all the wheels in motion regarding personal injury claims. I spent the whole of last week filling out forms.
