Vn = Smashed

[PaRaDoX]

hey guys,
i was out for a cruize tonight, just round the block enjoying my car as you do

went through a round a bout when a ford drive (shit round about u cant see anything) comes flying into it at about 60km/h he steered left and i took a impact on the left front quarter panel/ wheel

dosnt look good under the bonnet, looks genuinly rooted up

he was on my left therefore he was supposed to give way therefore it is in no way my fault... he admitted liability and is putting the claim intonight (no not a p plater), the rim took a good impact and i can feel a shakes from that side, im not sure weather its me still shaking or the actual rim is bent but ****!!!!!! bodykit is no way damaged

bumpers rooted, indicators rooted, possible bent wheel? rooted paint on the wheel, quarter panel is dinted in/ bent badly, bonnet is bent / scratched slightly, wheel sits in more...

heres the pics

my estimates are $1200-2000 if its a insurance job and the rim is bent, the bumper is rooted, all clips broken, paint rooted, quarter panel is bent (where it joints the front bumper, im HOPING the chassis isnt bent at the front, he did hit it pretty hard.. now ive got a rooted car

going to get 3 quotes tommorrow and send him a letter of demand so i get it fixed asap

[azzfox]

ah man, not good at all

[Morton]

Jesus, good effort. I hope your rims are covered under insurance.

I've nearly been cleaned up a few times at the local round-a-bout. Some pricks just don't look. Hard luck mate... I hate to see a beaten-up commy. Just lucky you're both insured, eh? ... pictures just loaded. Looks like you gave him a fair whack. How well did the ford fair? I -really- hope it was a KA. You could have punted it clean off the road ^^ I remember doing that to a Nissan Micra that did a u-turn infront of my old 626.

####!!!, Not another mighty VN, thats 3 for the month! Man thats bad to hear, Hows under the bonnet, maybe your lower controll arm bent, like myne did.

[1991_Vn2nV]

What insurance company is the guy with?

[NORTI]

Had the exact same thing happen to me in my hubbys VN, some chick drove straight into me at a round-a-bout. She went down the cop shop & reported it & even told the coppers 'she failed to give way' & yet insurance didnt see it that way & found me partialy at fault!! WTF?? She FAILED to give way at a roundabout & Im at fault??

Damn insurance companies.

Good luck with yours, took 9weeks to get the VN back after my accident



D.

What insurance company is the guy with?

im insured with just car, hes insured with RACV, i called up AAMI, they're sending out a temple for a letter of demand, getting quotes tommorrow
they'res no doubt it was his fault so this claim should be easy HOOMG ULEH U SCRATCHED MY RIMS......lol
and rims are covered for $800......

he gave it a fair whack, the wheel took most of it :S

first brock.......... then mack then vn2nv, now the calais!!!!!!!!!! whose next?

heh i could probbly fix it my self for like $50 but insurenace will charge lots more, plus i want it fixed good considering im not paying

btw he hit the wheel first then the guard

[Emackulation]

Hmmm, sounds ugly if the wheel took most the blow. P.S. What about my crash

[PaRaDoX]

hehe oops yeah.. ill have the wheel tested later on
hehe oops *mentions macks vn*

[FadeToBlack]

Damn man not good at all..makes me wanna take extra care driving around when you think about how many foolish drivers there are out there.

[greenfoam]

The difference between the VN stacks is that Mack lost it, everyone else got stacked into hahaha

[Emackulation]

Shhh Foamie , Still done lotsa damage, but I had to pay for all myne

[PaRaDoX]

lol... over all it dosnt look too bad just hoping when i get her into the shop to be inspected they wont go, "chassis bent, its a write off" id cry.... it dosnt look too bad but the impact on the quarter panel went straight to the frame guys mananged to get my bonnet open before

hehe and foam be nice, we've all stacked before just glad it wasnt my fault this time

i geuss the blue oval just wanted to break me.....

[Emackulation]

I also hope your chasis isn't bent, if so....I'll also cry for you mate.

[flyen]

first brock.......... then mack then vn2nv, now the calais!!!!!!!!!! whose next?

PLEASE NOT ME

that sux about the crash, at least you both had insurence

is there some way you can take the cash and now get a GRP A front bar instead of replacing the stock one?

[Emackulation]

I like flyen vn's thinking, get a GRP A front :P

[greenfoam]

It wont matter if its bent, only takes a couple minutes on a rack to pull a car straight again

[osip55]

hey guys im new to this board. not good what happend to his vn ey. ill be posting picture of my car up soon. be good to get to know the drivers in this joint. and once again sad to here about ur car buddy thought it was loking pretty sweet. still does (Y)

[PaRaDoX]

It wont matter if its bent, only takes a couple minutes on a rack to pull a car straight again

also about $1000 per minute

watch out flyen you might be next!!!

[Shortstuff]

Thats not good! Hope you get it all sorted out easily. You might even be able to score a group A front bumper on the insurance if you're lucky.

Ha ha Flyen_VN beat me to it! Took me so long to write the post with everything else i'm trying to do.

[PaRaDoX]

lol i doubt it, umm bad news... i checked it again.. the left side is pushed in a good inch, and its not just the pannel, chassis bent

[flyen]

watch out flyen you might be next!!!

dont say that
i've never had a crash,

[Shortstuff]

Unless it's really bad they should just be able to put it on a jig and straighten it all up. Seen some fairly badly smashed cars get jigged and be ok after it.

[azzfox]

first brock.......... then mack then vn2nv, now the calais!!!!!!!!!! whose next?

no need to worry.. bad things come in groups of 3 (talking about commo crashes)

[PaRaDoX]

the reason i worry is because my mate had a similar crash, and his was written off, same colour vn calais aswell
