Project ruined because of a Toyota Taz

Post by Jay24 »

Well guys this morning i had an accident with my BABY i am still very sad but thankfully no one got hurt.

This all happened on my way to another day of work , some guy in a Toyota Taz missed a turnoff and suddenly hit brakes and turned i was doing the speed limit but could not stop in time . Sad fact is he has no insurance and now i am going to pay for his and my damage.
All the time and money spent on my car has now been for nothing

you can see the controll arm bent

Sad, but quite fixable. :)

If YOU have insurance why the Hell are YOU paying?

Is the engine Police-clearanced?

That's absolute BS....tell them to FO.

What do people with old engines do?

I've never heard of rubbish like that.

The F*ckers all value my Fleetline at around 8k...if only they had a clue.

I'm hoping to buy an alternate means of transport soon, so the driven vehicles will go onto vintage insurance soon.

Sorry to hear about that Jay :cry:

Doesn't look beyond repair though - some advice: get it fixed ASAP, before you lose interest. It is CERTAINLY fixable!

Bestaluck!

3rd party is the way for a daily.

You risk getting nothing, but for me, it's not my only car.

It would be a loss, but I'm not about to pay more in a year for insurance than what they'll value it at.

I'm now looking at vintage insurance with a 5,000 km cap per year.

I don't do very much, and drive alternate vehicles quite often.

If my new ride materializes, the VWs will be weekend vehicles. :)
