Save by the Japanese disaster... So &

So some of you may know I have a 2011 GTR on order and that Ive saved my butt off for the last 4 years to buy one.

Then in January my property at New Farm was kindly bathed by the Brisbane river in a beautiful brown mud bath.

My insurance company RACQ (home insurance, no contents as its a rental property) have decided that they are not paying out on the damages on the basis its not my principle property and that if I were covering home and contents then they would. Needless to say Ive appealed to the various government set up groups to have RACQ re-think their position.

I'm one of thousands of people whom RACQ has turned their back on in this disaster. The property had to be repaired asap, so I spent 135k so far out of my own pocket to get it back to better than ever. New walls, new electrical, new windows, new kitchen, new bathroom. It looks really good and now should yield at least $80 more rent per week. But i had to spend most of my GTR money hoping that RACQ will re-pay me before Nissan calls to say the car is here.

Well they called last Wednesday, to let me know my car will be there by Monday this week. I was shattered and told them the entire story of whats happening. They said "dont worry" we have orders for 7 blue 2011 GTR's (at that dealership) to fill and yours in one of only three to ship before the devastation in Japan. So they are giving my order to the next in line and im being put back on the rear of the line.

So hence buying me time to get RACQ to pay...

In short my disaster which caue me the problems have been saved by a disaster.

Also Nissan were more than happy to refund me the deposit if I needed it, I was really shocked to hear them offer that, they were really good about it. Anyway, my 35 was delivered to its new owner yesterday afternoon and I went down to see it as they invited me to come.

The owner is in his 60's and was delighted to take delivery and was apologetic about my circumstances.

So he is happy, im sad but happy at the same time that I have not lost yet and a big thanks to Nissan for being human.

Fingers crossed i get my pay out before the next GTR's are ready for pickup.

Note: Nissan still dont have a clue when the next vehicles are coming. They said it may be as long as Christmas away.

Trust me, so not worth it.

i was being sarcastic, but im still standing by my statement of "WOW"

So... what's the weirdest thing people have found in a car they're doing a service on?

Today I found a dinner plate in a Barina. Just one plate. In the passenger footwell...

[mosquitocoils]

Col that's a full on story... I had no idea that happened to you. Guess things turned out as they were supposed to, at least for now. I'd be devo at the insurance company/companies involved with all this flood crap.

John, in my laser right now I've got a bottle of oil, half a pack of toilet paper, a towel, various shirts, a pair of jeans, a pack of napkins, a roll of double-sided tape, 3?? pairs of sunnies, a repco catalogue...

Oh and a 4x12 speaker cabinet squashed into the back seat

[Bunta]

they moved and it fell out of a box? They took a plate of somthing to work for a morning tea...bought the plate home in the car and forgot to take in to the house ect ect. doesnt seem that weird to me but we did have a casserole dish on our backseat for about 3 months

[FineLine]

And you have the added benefit of knowing you'll get a root out her.

You got no f**ken chance with me. I,m fussy.

Many a ship has been lost in that black hole too

Morning Mangs,

Col, I hope you sort the insurance company out mate, at least nissan were willing to play ball

when i worked at ford (yes i know) back in 1999

(was an auto elec)

I can think of three situations

1. small bag of pot in a speed camera landcruiser (what was that doing in there?)

2. hand gun under a seat in a fairlane (full gangster car for a 25ish yo bloke)

3. home made porn, photo album full of S&M shit and it was the customer who picked up the car who was in the photos...

ps> She was ugly and old

I wouldn't consider the gun to be weird. Doesn't everyone carry a glock 9mm around in their car?

[Isola]

Hahaha nice list Col! And good luck with the car/insurance caper mate. By the way, I don't think I've ever seen a blue R35!

[Dan_B]

We've had the usual knives and guns. Strangest find was probably a 1kg bag of white "energy" pills.

[Smity42]

Mangs,

ETA to Melbourne: 12 hours 15 mins

Have fun tomorrow night, say hi to Morgan for me

[Col-GTSX]

i thought the home made porn was the funniest

cause everyone in the workshop was there when the customer picked her car up to have a look through the window at the service counter...

[Col-GTSX]

I don't think I've ever seen a blue R35!

its a new colour in 2011 models

you will cream your jeans for sure when you see one in person, they are seriously beautiful...

its similar to the old R33 4 door "deep blue" colour...

[Smity42]

^^^^ f**king WANT

[mosquitocoils]

I actually just jizzed over that. wtf.
