jmp is right, it needs DivX 5.0.2 codec to view. I've edited the main post to show this.

To all the naysayers about insurance liability:

A police report was made. (Compulsory to claim insurance). Police stopped by the scene for a chat the same night too.

Boostzor reported that he lost control and hit a kerb, causing the damage.

In real life he really did lose control, hitting a kerb which caused the damaged.

Boostzor paided the access, insurance fixed the car and police added their fine and points loss on top. Theres really nothing else to bust him for. Was he speeding? Was he racing? No, he lost control and hit a kerb. I'm happy to let it be a unrestricted download if only to show ppl the dangers of off camber roads :D

I just told em the lights went green and i came round the corner but when i hit second the back end swung out came backa nd hit the curb. Exactly like it happened, im not gonna lie to em cause they will most prolly find out and then id be screwed.

If u notice all the tape on the side where the moulding is missing. That was from the week earlyier when i got it back from the beaters. I got hit by some P plater chick who had a lic for 3 days. I cant really say but i think she pulled out of a left turn lane that was givin way and colided with my ass end and wrote her car off causing aroun 8k damage to mine. She did not attempt to brake or swerve (she had 3 lanes free to play with) but its still my fault, I got a 3point $150 fine and had to pay my monstorous excess but its better than being up for around 12k that has to come out of ure pocket:eek: .

Just to clarify i did not see her neither did the guy in shotgun (shot gun always looks) i didnt eve see it comin till i was facing the other way. Imho if cant afford insurance u cant afford the car:) because after all s**t happens.

Well at least i got all my bad luck out in a month;)

rob: it won't happen :P

nah but seriously, it's like I said - the damage that would be caused wouldn't amount to what I'd have to pay in insurance (from past experience)

I know past experience doesn't count for much since ANYTHING can happen, but if I hit someone yes, I will pay for their damage and mine, obviously. But if you ask for it, you're gonna get it...so I don't exactly go around every corner sliding it out (no relationship or aiming at boostzor).

shit does happen, and currently if I want insurance (now that RAC have withdrawn their efforts for insuring new people for imports) I'm looking at 3,900 from sgio (who can kiss my ****) :D

i cant afford the insurance on my car so have 3rd party fire n theft from Suncorp Meway. costs me $252 a year, and in the event of an accident it covers everything (car and property) except for my own car. i personally think thats the way to go if you are unable to pay $2000 a year or more for insurance.

once im 21 im gunah try again, ive never had an accident so hopefully in 2 years time ill get a decent quote on insurance...

and about posting a video on the net, the chances of an insurance company coming across that.... well....

and for $3.5K the assessors have probably forgotten who you are now with the amount of repair bills they have to account for per year.

Dont get me wrong insurance companies will go through great lengths to prove that your claim is null and void. I know of a few young lads who are insured as a 5% driver under their parents name on their HiPo car and both have had claims void'd because it was proven they we driving the car more than 5%. An insurance company can void your claim if they find that you havent reported all traffic fines and other fines if they so wish. I think its too fine a line to tread, especially if you have a bad accident and write your car off and need to make the claim because $25k is a bit too much to fork out for a new car. Obviously RAC is going out of the import business because its costing them far too much when someone makes a claim.

Agree with you on that one, rob77. No point trying to pull the wool over insurance companies eyes, it'll only end in tears. Thing is, we're not daft, everything was done by the book and we can see absolutley nothing wrong with showing this video. Like Boostzor said, if the insurance company thought the claim was even a little suspect, it would never of gone through. They knew exactly what he was doing - kerbs don't just come out and slap into you. In fact, if anything negative ever comes from this video, I will personally pay for blowjobs for all naysayers at Langtrees. I only count 2 naysayers, so no one else allowed in on the wager :D

Anyway, lets get back to congratulating Boostzor on his fine efforts :P

Psiko , I gotta agree with rob77. Stay away from me. Even if you can't afford full comprehensive, at least get third party insurance like adam32.

I had a friend a long time ago who ran into the back of a very expensive ( porsche ) car cos he locked up in the wet. No insurance and it screwed him for about 5 years. The porsche insurance company took him to court and made him pay for the damages . He was paying a certain amount per week out of his pay packet for a loooong time.

BTW Boostzor , 2 crashes and throwing it into the sand at MC:D :):P . Thats gotta be telling you something:rolleyes:

Yeh Ken thats y I got the full comp:D Nahh seriously i wnated to let it go savage at MC hey i gotta learn somehow it might as well be somewhere im not gonna hurt any1 or the car. Plus i do not accept blame for the first incident that was total BS coulda happend to any1. The one u see here though ahh... yeh well cant blame any1 for that now can i :) At least after those 2 i never drive like a nutter on the road (used to cain it like a man possesed) i have gained a measure of 'self control' too bad that doesnt extend to "car control" :)

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
