Well, unfortunately my stagea got reversed into last night. At first it sounded like tools falling off a car, but it wasn't...

I was lucky enough to have remembered what car was parked in front of me when i arrived, and when i saw him speed off i knew it was same car. Went to neighbours house and yelled for 5 minutes to make myself heard (they were playing loud music). Once someone came out i got info out of the bloke that his cousin was the driver. Told him he had better call him back here as I don't want to cause trouble but i will if i have to.

Cousin arrives back 10 mins later claiming he didn't even see the car there..... anyhoo got all his details and have lodged it all with Just Car and got my 2 quotes done already. now to wait for the assessor on the 8th.

I am sooooo fkn pissed off, mainly because he sped away and if i didn't notice who it was i would have fk all chance of keeping my rating, Plus would have to pay excess etc. Apparently he only has a kiwi license as he has just moved here.

So here is what a VY commodore trayback does to the front of a stag. notice the beautiful hole the exhaust cut :|

One question to you all, do i have the opportunity to keep any parts they remove to replace ? i understand i should probably just ask the repairers, but i wanted to know if anyone else has been able to do this ?

Skippy did whisper in my ear *R34 front* but i don't think i have enough damage to justify it.

Thanks

Jez

Hots exhausts make great hole cutter's!

As for keeping any parts replaced yeah just ask the panel beater, couldnt see it being a problem as they would only turf it.

Farking people doing damage and driving of pisses me off, copped a big scrape down the 34 a few weeks back in a car park and the person just drove off.

LOL, I seriously doubt he had no idea he had done it, unless he's used to all those bumping and scraping noises because he does it on a regular basis and chooses to ignore it.

It sucks that people aren't just honest enough to cop the blame and face the consequences.

    • They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
