Slik 50 Posted June 27, 2007 Report Posted June 27, 2007 Well after a frickin shite day in my new job it was made even worse by some TW*T in a van hitting me in the arse end! The pics may not seem that bad but my tailgate is fooked, My boot lock mechanism is fooked and I cant keep my boot shut never mind lock it! And I think my boot floor is caved in! I know most of you may not think it a great loss but at the end of the day she is my baby and I tokk a lot of pride in her. She was in a fair condition aswell and just having spet nearly a grand on me engine I just hope it isnt a write of The boot lid and if you look at the bumper there is a big crease along the bottom and split towards the left hand side of the exhaust.... The area behind the bumper that used to be flush with bumper FOOKED OFF!!!!! [/img]
Burns Posted June 27, 2007 Report Posted June 27, 2007 that's shitty dude saw her and she looked like you looked after her i assume you've got all his details and they'll get it sorted properly?

Davecara Posted June 27, 2007 Report Posted June 27, 2007 Dont worry fella, BigBoyBarry on eBay's got a couple of XR4i's he's breaking. Always got tailgates and back panels. I think Hadrian still make panels for the mk1 Sierra too.
over_head_cam Posted June 27, 2007 Report Posted June 27, 2007 Sierra floors are a bit flimsy m8 But they respond to a bit of porta-power quite well It's not nice to have al the grief, hope you get it sorted soon
Mr.Sumo Posted June 27, 2007 Report Posted June 27, 2007 Shit m8 , thats bad Heres hoping you get it sorted ...take it the muppet was insured
Slik 50 Posted June 27, 2007 Author Report Posted June 27, 2007 Yeh he is insured as he drove for sainsburys delivering shopping and stuff Just making a few calls to get it sorted! Funny thing is though is that I have just renued my insurance through Tesco's
mk1mexico Posted June 27, 2007 Report Posted June 27, 2007 What a pain in the arse Literally, sorry to hear that buddy hope it can be fixed OK. Have you got a sore neck?? Fookin right you have
mk1super Posted June 27, 2007 Report Posted June 27, 2007 That sucks dude iam gutted for you. I'd put in a claim mate. But maybe thats wrong?
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted June 27, 2007 Report Posted June 27, 2007 That's bad news m8. Like Graham says, your neck and back will be a bit stiff in the morning. Won't they...

Admin Vista Posted June 27, 2007 Admin Report Posted June 27, 2007 Sorry to hear that Slik, best of luck getting it sorted. On the bright side at least you got to post pics of sarah on here eh?
Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted June 27, 2007 Report Posted June 27, 2007 You will get no grief from me mate.... I love a Black XR4! Hope it all gets mended for you mate
Pipster007 Posted June 27, 2007 Report Posted June 27, 2007 I know we take the mickey out of the plastic fantastic brigade, but look on the positive side......................... ...................as you've spent a lot of cash on the engine, you can now go and stick it in a real car Seriously, bad luck old sport. I hope it works out OK
Retromotorsport Posted June 28, 2007 Report Posted June 28, 2007 Now i'm hoping that you didnt insure with Tescoes because they where cheap, but because they gave you an agreed Value as your car qualifies as a classic because its over 20 years old.. Because if you have an agreed value i would be sitting at home , with a nice drink and a dirty great big smile .. of course that would be a non-alcholic drink as the pain killers for my neck means that i cant drink, But through the pain i would be thinking .... "hmmm car will get fixed as i have the agreed value and the repairs are less than that value .. and also i'll have a nice windfall when they pay out for my whiplash, thats gotta be around 2-3k in my pocket " And if you havnt got an agreed value ... be prepared to show market value to the insurers.. because book price for that car is nothing .. you need to show evidence of "real" sale prices. Also make sure you go to the doctors to get that neck checked.. many a person has sneezed and snapped thier neck a few days after an accident .. If the insurance right the car off make sure you buy it back from them, as you'll easilly repair it with the whiplash money .. Good luck with it
4parajon Posted June 28, 2007 Report Posted June 28, 2007 Bad luck Owen mate, hope you get it sorted, keep yer chin up
