this happened to me yesterday on the way to the mechanics. not sure if its going to be worth repairing, may as well just get another one. this is what happens when people cut in front of you and slam their brakes on as you can see she was pretty clean and had low km's. engine seems fine though. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah its a n/a, not insured and 9/10 its the person who slams in the back of someone's fault. so its not looking too good for me there. dont really care, the car didnt cost me too in the first place. i guess ill do what someone said and start fresh and do everything the way i want to do it first time. although i wouldnt mind looking for a bt1 or something i just love the sl look in yellow or just a nice white executive. cheers for the positive comments fellas Quote: Originally Posted by R34NRG you say buy another one, but looks like you've got another one the same as it already there in the driveway? yeah mate not mine but i might make an offer on it.

It's probably not worth it mate. It looked like a perfect example of an executive which is a shame.

yeah guys im good, wasn't even shook up about it all. i haven't had the car for that long so i guess i wasn't too attached to it. just a shame to see such a nice car go to waste but thats life, it happens.
