I cant even begin to think how she got there.

The house is like maybe 10-15m down the road from a roundabout. So syhe must have come off the roundabout got the back end out drift style and then swung it round and gone down his driveway.

The other option is that she jumped the curb on the round about, which is huge, and then careened across 2 front lawns before going through ure garage.

Classic old lady styles, she started fumbling for the pedals and maybe mashed the accelerator due to the bumpyness of the ride over the 20cm curb.

Im just trying to get my head around this madness :confused:

Erik - to answer your question - a write off is when the the cost to repair the car is MORE than the value or insured value of the car. An insurance assessor will determine whether it is a write off. I don't think your car is a write off... usually a write off is when the chassis is twisted or something.

Also the insurance repairer will repair your car to manufacturers standards. Because it is an import - this is quite hard. They will find it hard to gets parts... whichs takes time.... you may not end up with the same front bar on it or something. Insurance doesn't care if you have an awesome veilside kit on it (for example)... they will still only repair it to manufacturers standards.

Bug them ? How? I wish I could ,someone from Peter Wilkinson will tow my car tommorow hopefully I can drive my R34 again. One question if after the repair finish then I can see the colour different between the new parts and old parts , can i ask for all repaint?

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
