f**kedy f**k f**k!

I may have just killed my baby... Involved in a minor fender bender, tried driving away after exchanging details only to realise that I was losing fuel and the engine was being totally unresponsive. Pulled over to have a look under the bonnet and the front reo is bent with no space between the radiator and engine and the engine seems to be sitting at a funny angle in the bay.

To make things better it turns out that Just Car don't have a 24 hour claims service... Car is parked and locked and I have to organise a tow and a claim first thing in the morning.

Spoke to insurance company today, they are organising a tow from where the car ended up and all the rest. However with damage to three panels and the reo as well as whatever mechanical damage has occurred I have been told to expect it to be a write off sad.gif

Time to start shopping around I guess. Thankfully I just bumped my agreed value smile.gif I'll probably get $18k in hand after everything is settled so that would give me plenty of options. Thinking maybe I buy a dirt cheap camry/magna/lancer etc for a couple of grand and start looking for an S13 smile.gif

Started the car up to get her on the towie. Engine was not a happy camper. Belts squealing like a bitch from them rubbing on the fan shroud that has been jammed up into them. Idle was all over the shop, almost stalled (in a freaking auto) at one point and was surging to over 2.5k at other points. She is not a well car :(

what time and day to meet at kenmore maccas

Thursday night, 7:30 usually. Keep an eye on this thread. Meeting gets changed occasionally for various reasons.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
