Yeah not sure where you're all getting the idea that his insurance will fix it and chase it all up etc...That's exactly what third party does not give you..

Third party, you hit someone and are at fault, your insurance fixes their car, you fix your own car. Someone hits you and they're at fault, their insurance handles it all, your insurance has nothing to do with it..

Full comp, call the kunce and tell them to fix everything, now.

Tell this mother f**ker that the damage to his skull was pre existing and not a result of you caving it in with a f**king brick

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Uninsured motorist cover

Up to $3000 cover for damage to your car by an uninsured driver

No excess is required for this, but you do need to supply them with the other driver's details so that JCI can recoup their costs.

Similarly, with comprehensive insurance you need to supply the at fault driver's details, else pay your excess and effectively have a claim processed as "at fault", i.e. you might as well have hit a tree with no one else involved.

It's possible this guy has no insurance and is just trying to bargain/scare his way out of a big bill, or his excess is quite high, thus trying to get his mate (lol) to con you into settling for less than his excess. Good luck with it viper - though the chips really are in your hand - welcome to the world of people pawning their problems and responsibility off onto others :/

As per above comment I don't think you have a choice to refuse his insurances assessor / repairer looking at your car and potentially doing the job as it's a claim through his policy not yours. Whoever fixes it should do nothin less than a satisfactory job.

I was hit by a woman who was at fault, got the claim number off her and then told her insurance company I wouldn't go near their preferred repairer douchebags with my 10 foot pole (thanks to VWLBC advice)

Went promptly to Micolour, Mick is sorting it all out for me

have full comp with shannons = car gets hit... take it to uncle mick and walk away knowing it will look better than it did before the hit

speaking to 32GTR owner at sandown on the weekend... neighbours acorns fell on his roof and bonnet leaving marks reminiscent of hail damage. called Shannon's, they pointed him to a respectable panel beater... nek minnit - panel repairs + full respray for cost of excess.

mad jelly.

Anyone going to the monthly meet in couple of weeks? Can't decide if I should come.

I should be in for that one.

I've got a ball tomorrow night, so cannot sadly. At that point in the night I'm guessing I'll be in a place where, really, I should not have car keys anywhere close to me :P

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      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
