Spotted an L plater attempting to reverse paralel park behind my car. She obviously failed. Fortunately they hung around until I got back from where I was to let me know. We swapped numbers.. (btw - she wasn't hot).

Anyone recommend what I should do now? I've never been in this position before.. I'm not 100% on how bad the scrape is and if I can just buff it out or something.

Definitely won't buff out, unless they left white paint on you and didn't remove any of yours. From the photo is looks like it's taken paint OFF your car and down to the primer coat?

...luckily your car is only gloss black, so it won't cost much to get fixed up (relatively speaking). Depending on whether you care too much on quality of repair, perhaps go down a cheap route and find someone who'll do a cashy and have the other party pay for it?

As an example, a work friend's WRX got keyed (about 50cm long, all paint scratched out), and from what I recall it was pearl red. Roughly $600 repair from memory.

Cheers mate.

I just realised that the other car was green.. and it left a white mark on my car, so yeah, its down to the primer.

Anyone suggest any shops, or anyone who can do cash job? .. this is the worst time of the year to get this sorted. lol.

Ring your insurance company and let them tell you what to do next. She's obviously being honest and not trying to get out of it so it should be straight forward?

BTW.. is the angle distorted or are you wearing a really funny looking hat :D

Dude - home all day today and your more than welcome. Im sure you'll like the changes :D

Plus you can check out some bit's n pieces I have laying around :thumbsup: Thought I saw you both in the red s15 yesterday near the HypingDome.

I still owe a big thanks to the SAU crew who showed up at the surprise party in Jerra. Damn my nephew Beau for pulling it together. Blew my mind, Jeez the crew were tight back then.

Was awesome night. An esky FULL of bourbons, replica limited model GTR 32 and the donation$ from passing the hat around came up around $400 to get this rebirth started.

I know I was that pissed I offerd everyone a ride in the GTR when she was rebuilt.

Ps. I know you still have the scar from your party trick - LULZ

Spotted me taking the top off my nuckle pretty much to bone!

Trying to install my Greddy controller at the time cutting a zip tie with a steak knife sounded like a good idea

HAHA. FAIL.

You ok though?

Got my EBC today. Install time soon!

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
