Guest Sakura Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 So sorry to hear about your car. I hope your neck is OK - best get it checked out, though. You are clearly in shock, especially as it is your first accident, so try and take it easy (I know, easier said than done when you're trying to assess the damage).

nuttynutz Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Hey man, sorry to hear about the bad news, hope you feeling better, mate had a crash, really bad whiplash, and his neck was i pain for ages. regarding insurence i cant really help you, but by the looks of it, it seems to need alot of work done, so i probably would go ahead with insurence, i may be wrong. btw, off subject here. but were you the chinese couple i waved bye at JAE? i was in a blue top and i think i parked directly opposite you. anyway, hope you get things all sorted soon. just try take it easy for now, i can imagine you must be stressing it real bad at the mo.

China Man Posted August 7, 2004 Author Share Posted August 7, 2004 Yup, thats me dude! I am over the shocked of the accident already and now into the bit where I keep thinking how do I lost control of the car out of a bend at 30mph! I now fully understand how people can have accident at pod with a stretch of straight road Insurance company is going to recover the car from my driveway and get it into a garage in N london on Monday. I now looking at replacment parts....... TDR bonnet, front bumper.... need a small nap tho China Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Sorry to hear this China Man, and so soon after Supe ownership. Hope you get it all sorted soon...

First thing that sprang into my mind was top secret bumper, UK glass lights, TRD replica carbon bonnet, new alloys There are 2 sides to every coin just try and look at the side with the happy smilie queen on it.

China Man Posted August 7, 2004 Author Share Posted August 7, 2004 That flipping air bag hit me right in the face! good or bad I don't know but I am here typing as normal. The smell from that air bag explosion stinks China Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYmark Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 not nice to hear of your bad luck. looks pretty bad to me. i had one in mine and it was no where near as bad as that and they were talking of writing it off. you say you were only doing 30mph looks a bad impact for a low speed. its weird how fast it happens, mine was in snow when it happend. the dearest things will be air bags £2k+ to replace. you could source parts second hand to try keep costs down. have a word with dude see what he thinks. if you go the route doing it yourself and not claiming it will cost quite a bit. glad you ok. such a shame you never had chance to enjoy it more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Man Posted August 7, 2004 Author Share Posted August 7, 2004 omg 2k for the air bag? didn't know they are that expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The insurance company are pretty sure to write it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 I'm so sorry to see this thread China, after that wait to get it, and barely having had the chance to appreciate it Makes me think long and hard about the respect I need to show a 300+bhp car while being still relatively inexperienced (in the grand scheme of things). I hope it all goes smoothly for you mate, and your back up and running asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Man Posted August 7, 2004 Author Share Posted August 7, 2004 Had a bit of sleep and feeling much better now, thanks for everyone who posted. Still don't believe what had happened but I am sure I am not going to give up Supra. If it is broke I will fix it, If it is a write off then I will try and fix it even better.

Lazarus Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Feel for you m8! You're gonna feel bad about the stack for a few day's yet, but you sound like your ok and the car can be fixed even if the insurance company does consider it a write off (personnally I don't think they will) so chin up m8 ,you'll get through it.

Green Peace Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Originally posted by sky Hey china man - damn i only met you at Billing as well . . never mind, these things happen - If its any consolation buddy, I've learnt to lok at these things as a blessing in disguise - you can now think about having a different nose cone (i love the bOmex) and change the look of your car a little. I've ended up with a new front spiler, new alloys and a colour coded dash ! Real sorry to hear about this....I agree with Sky though...good opportunity to get mods done. those roads on the way to Matt Harwoods are a nightmare...especially if its your first journey there, at some points you go round a bend then theres oncoming traffic on your side of the road....I'm sure you aint the first one to come a cropper on the way to Sextons...its a terrible road thats for sure. Hope you get it sorted, still plenty of Summer left. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
