its a jdm import so i would imagine they will right it off,

if they do grade it a cat C and fix it,
remember to ask for some money compensation aswell,
As a cat C graded car it will loose 15-20% of its sale value.

Gutted bud.

Hope you get sorted

So sorry to see your car in that state, Scott but glad you're in one piece.

Hope it gets sorted quickly and painlessly.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Glad you're ok though.

Do you guys use any specialist repairers for this sort of incident? When I had an accident in my FTO, everyone in the club told me to call Japco to prevent a writeoff. He effectively would price the repairs so the assessor would not write off the car. (i.e. fixing parts that do not need to be replaced, or sourcing second hand bits like bumpers and renovating them)

Saved my car from a write off, if it had gone to a normal garage the repair costs would have been rather extreme. Did a bloody good job too, and sent a transporter to pick the car up.

If the other drivers at fault demand their insurers put you back in the position you were before the accident, I.e replacement car of same type and condition or repair what ever the cost.

The problem is that the position I was in before the accident was owning an S2000 that was dropping to bits. I'm better off without it, to be honest, and any S that I get for that sort of money is going to be a high miler. I would rather get something different now. Besides which, my priorities have changed now. I want some economy so I can get to all ends of the country with my camera.

Thanks for the wishes all. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Yep gritty I understand sometimes circumstances just trigger the change that was just hiding around the corner and needing a nudge into view. ( Big nudge that one though)

Well give em hell any way and don't accept the first, secound or even third offer, wring them dry. And good luck with your new steed what ever it might be.

Hope you were not hurt at all, whiplash or such like.

That's f*ckin shockin! it's bright red FFS, lose his job, it's his license that should oot the windae, on the other hand at least your ok Gritty and as it turns oot it actually suits you for this to have happened, lets hope the insurance company plays ball quickly.

Cheers Chip. I'm fine.

I know I'll miss it when it's gone, but needs must. I just wish it wasn't in the car park anymore, because every time I look at it I start changing my mind again.
