Do bad things happen in threes? Hope not..

Yagz · 04-01-2005, 03:59 PM

Well, I'm not going to comment on the incident, as it's still under investigation by the insurance companies, but here are some pictures of a recent altercation involving my car and another..

Race tape keeping the left hand front bumper together..

Not so visible, but a big dent in the front left of the bonet, Going to require a new bonet..

The hit on the left sent the right hand indicator into a spin..

Front left upper grill bar is ruined.. The headlight assembly is also buggered..

Yagz · 04-01-2005, 04:01 PM

.. more pictures

Another picture of the front grill.. The bonet protector is false advertising.. :P

The saddest picture :(

Will all be fixed ASAP, who is at fault is still being investigated, as it wasn't very clear cut..

Cheers,
Yagz

This has happened just after i got hit by the piece of wood off the trailer, so lets just say that i'm taking it very easy because i don't need another incident like this..

Laminge · 04-01-2005, 04:05 PM

Was the wood on the trailer fixed and way over the boundry of the trailer, or did it fall off?

It flew off the trailer at 100 kays and hit me at 200 kays an hour as the guy with the trailer was coming towards me at 100 and so was I.. He will hopefully get back to me soon about it as i just sent him some quotes, but in the meantime, i have to get this incident fixed..

Cover yourself and at least fill out a report at the police station, that if your not a wanted man, and provide a copy to your insurance company.

If the guy doesn't co-operate, then the police will get involved, but at the moment, it looks as though we can settle..

Dont risk it, specially when the Bill comes, he may change his mind@!

Damo · 04-01-2005, 04:05 PM

damn, you can't catch a break with that car... Hopefully insurance sorts it out for You.

:(

EFFalcon · 04-01-2005, 04:11 PM

i've already claimed the front bumper if it gets replaced and yagz gets to keep it ;)
Seriosuly bad luck dude!

bad things did happen in 3's with me, first the exhaust fell off... then the air con seized.. then the engine imploded

Hope it comes out lookin' sweet!

Stevo · 04-01-2005, 04:22 PM

Grrr mate, bad luck, Hopefully this time it gets fixed, and that will be the last

AUII_Forte · 04-01-2005, 04:23 PM

Tough luck Yagz! Hopefully it'll end up as good as new ASAP.

MickyB · 04-01-2005, 05:41 PM

Such bad luck mate, your car always looked and sounded sweet when I saw it around. Hopefully it all gets fixed as good as new and you aren't out of pocket. There's nothing worse than driving around in a damaged car, always feels shit compared to when it's nice and shiny and straight.

Thanatos · 04-01-2005, 05:42 PM

Damn, that's a shame to see.

I hope it turns out to not be your fault, and that you can get it all sorted quickly.

Danny · 04-01-2005, 05:44 PM

Ohh god, Yagz I can't beleive this has happened! Its a cliche and a half I know but I know how you feel.

Now your headgasket, clutch, firewall, and pedal box have to break/go while simultaneously trying to pay for a speeding fine and bodykit and 4 new tyres and youll be in the situation i was in 4 months ago!!

Heres for a speedy recovery, now i know why you didnt want to cruise yesterday! Bet you wish you didn't sell the car bra to stevo now! Terrible news mate, terrible!

good luck
-Danny

Sundeep · 04-01-2005, 06:22 PM

It's not bad luck, it's bad driving ;) lol JK.

Hope it all gets sorted out quick knackers.

BTW, did you really need 6 awkwardly angled photos and 3 posts? One good photo and 1 post would have done it. Me thinks there's a LOT of whoring going on around here.

FRDXR6 · 04-01-2005, 06:36 PM

Bad luck mate hope it gets sorted out soon, at least its still drivable in the mean time.....

EFFalcon · 04-01-2005, 06:39 PM

lets not bitch about posts & photos!

galaxy xr8 · 04-01-2005, 06:57 PM

Your lucky the block of wood didn't bounce up into your windscreen, hope it all work's out mate.

from what i remember it did, just luckily didnt break the windscreen.

klawsterfobik · 04-01-2005, 07:14 PM

Ouch! Make sure you get plenty of photos, and doccument (sp?) everything.

As for the wood incident, as Laminge said, go to the cops and fill out a statement. That way your definately covered. You never know, him falling through on the deal might be your 3 round of bad luck, and then your covered from it.

Hopefully all goes sweet with both incidents.

klawsterfobik · 04-01-2005, 07:18 PM

I think the amount of photos were nessecery (sp?), atleast it showed what was done. I think 6 photos showing everything in detail is been than say i photo showing everything but in shitty detail with arrows pointing to things that you cant see... for example the cracks in front bar, or the moved headlight assembly...

Sundeep was just having a go, i take his comments with a light heart.. Don't let his comments send this thread off track :P

The amount of photos showed the damage, so that's all that matters..

Racecraft · 04-01-2005, 07:23 PM

How can it be a grey area, unless they ran a red light you obviously hit them, frontal impact means 'at fault' in my experience....

Reguardless of blame it is a shame to see a nice car cop a poke in the eye...

I think i'm in the right, he thinks he is.. It was a head on, so we'll let the insurance companies sort it out..

ilsautomotive · 04-01-2005, 07:39 PM

That's a nasty misfortune mate. I hope the insurance verdict is in your favour.

I could not have worded it better myself :(

Let's hope the whole situation gets sorted out very quickly so your EL looks & feels 100% again, I know the feeling when looking at your bent pride & joy (XE, not EB)

LUXO_8 · 04-01-2005, 08:17 PM

bugger yagz, hope it gets fixed pretty soon.

Smoked · 04-01-2005, 10:33 PM

Thats sad to see, hope it all gets rectified asap.

TIKFD6 · 05-01-2005, 12:18 AM

Not good Chris, youve had nothing but bad luck with this car.
Maybe you should buy a Hyundai?
:P
Hope it all comes out in your favour.
