We have a weekly cruise every Thursday...

Some dumb shit un-insurred red P plater tried to drift a left turn after a round-about in a beat up piece of shit commonwhore in the pooring rain... Went over 2 lanes, came into our lane, hit an MX5 way worse then I got hit... May be a ride off thanks to the monocoque body... but probably not...

I wasn't even going to bother the guy cause he was uninsured... I was just going to pay for it myself... had a quick look in the rain, and it just looked like a new front bar and grill... could probably get that for $400 or so...

Had a closer look later on under cover... I need a new bonnet, new grill, new front bar and a new right headlight...

The breaking of the headlight was what tipped the scales for me... so we called the guy back while we fixed the MX5 so it could drive home and exchanged details... we spoke to the dudes mum, he was having none of it :D

She was like, oh, that sounds sus, why didn't you mention the damage... yeah, we did... to your son... he was too busy trying to tell us that the car spun out cause he's a P plater... good for him... she's like, oh, come by and show us tomorrow...

We all live in Sydney, and it happened on the central coast... that's about a 45 minuts drive... one way...

Either way, hopefully it all gets sorted... I hate dealing with this shit, that's why I was going to pay for it myself... but bollocks that, he did more damage then I thought...

Damn Steve, Please tell me the driver and passenger of the MX5 are both ok? (not mentioning any names)

And that really sucks about your car as well, right after you got her finished, what a kent. :D

Hope it all works out ok for you man, drop me a pm if you want.

oh and mate if you're insured and he's not, it's easiest to get your insurance company to wave your excess, fix your car and then sue him for the insurance money, that's what I ended up doing when the woman that hit me wouldn't front up to it and was uninsured. Within a week of starting that process my car was in the workshop being repaired and 5 days after that I had it back.

My passenger door was bent right in and the whole side of the car looked like someone had used an angle grinder on it, didn't cost me a thing :D Cost the bitch like $4300 I think it was.

dang no way you should have to pay for that dam commonwhores

on a side note the last 3 posters are named Steve :(:D

yeah +1 to insurance

the buety about insurance is they chase the fool for the money not you so if he can only pay $5 bux a week hes paying the insurance company not you

Goodluck with that drdoof thats a really terrible situation to bein. Hope everything works out ok

Yeah I have called the insurance company, they are sending me some form thingy the guy has to sign saying that he was uninsured, then it can go ahead...

hopefully this doesn't take too long...

sorry to hear about this..

did u get his details? u could always get the cash from him as it was his fault

an uninsured P plater ran into my friends skyline and he had to pay cash to fix it

similar thing happened to me with my previous car... L plater uninsured swiped the side of my car - all I did was grab details, reported to police and claimed through insurance they did the rest my car was fixed within a couple weeks and a massive bill to the L plater. Best of luck getting it fixed with minimum hassles! :P

    • Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.
    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
