Yeah. Still queued to the roundabout at the M8 entrance. Drive through wise.

Yeah but you said the repairs weren't bad cost wise it was the airbag and suspension that wrote it off. It made zero sense really. Just so you know neither of those not including the cost could write a car off.

I'll give you an example. I've seen cars total lossed because a part was no longer available. Ie the repairs might be £1000 the car could be 10k in value. They could total loss the car using constructive total loss and get good salvage. People forget the salvage value. Some are as high as 40%...

You guys are missing a totally key point. This guy was not at fault. NOT AT FAULT. There is such a thing also as constructive total loss. I've seen cars written off at 25-30-40% of the value of the car. You really need to get out of the whole insurance straight forward side of things and...

Come again? The suspension and air bag would have been included in the cost of the repairs. Ie the repairs came to more than 130% value of the car. Cat B for eg. It wasn't a write off just because the airbag went off or suspension was damaged. If I had a pound for every seat airbag on a mk2...

I'm not saying it won't. The fact is he is the 3rd party at no fault. People seem to be glossing over this fact. Maybe they should pay him compensation for loss of value in the car if it does indeed need a new 1/4 panel? A bit of paintwork I could maybe accept. Invasive surgery on the...

Lols! Yes indeed I know nothing. I also don't assume anything.

Yeah unless the police has special eyes that stretch around the front of the car. I'm actually astounded someone put that sticker on their car, anywhere on the car. Not only is the car modified, attracting attention in itself you've put a big ass sticker that practically says " fuk da police!"

Awesome project mate. Surprised you gave it to such normal garages though. They're quite specialist cars imo. If diagnostics don't tell mechanics what's wrong they haven't a clue.

Ah so you're not buying one. Lols. Yeah just get the Crystal Rock.

It still shouts I don't give a f**k!

Lols. Oh so nieve my young Jedi.

Agreed. The beading also falls off very quickly. Never understood HB. My Z5 and Z2 last longer and look better and I can use it over a glaze etc etc. Crystal Rock isn't really for the average user imo. It's a business selling layers. I've had 2 samples which sadly don't replicate the feel but...

"We're not talking OS", really? So it can run like crap and be stupid but if it's fast and had lots of gimicky apps and features that you'll never use it's great? That makes no sense. I spend a lot of time using an S3 and the more I use it the worse it gets. Partially because i'm used to...

Fairy is very good. Cleans alcantara aswell.

That looks stupendous. Truly. Wheels, colour, stance just perfect. Roof down for the pics help though! ;) Need more!

Indeed. :)

Yeah definitely use the srp. You ideally want something better but Srp is still ideal. Claying usually inflicts some marring so some sort of polishing is required. Srp will be reet. ;)

When was the Vrs ever focussed? Although I agree, the current Fabia Vrs is a proper piss-take. Utter nonsense.

I doubt the garage would have went up. It's not a Hollywood film. Oh and the chassis isn't bent. To bend a chassis from that angle the driver's door would need to be in the centre console.

It looks like you'd have to rebuild the engine every 1/4 mile. I'm out.

My post in the other thread explained that it's not a monetary thing mate. The fact is, if it was my car they would be fixing it and giving me it back. The car wasn't full of filler nor did it have previous paintwork when I bought it and then parked it at the petrol station. Therefore i'll...

Facking love it! Uber wagon! Need Touring for next years boys!

Re: A Mini Adventure ... I loved the popping and crackles off the Milltek'd GP I drove, utter lunatic little car.

Lols!

Does it have competition? Swift and ST are warm hatches and the Vxr is now older generation. Mini? Been out for a few years now.

Love Z5. You use so little also. Proper slick finish.

Re: A Mini Adventure ... I hate the front lights and those wheels but at least you bought good spec and the right colour. It doesn't suit you. ;)

Re: Dual clutch, paddle shifter, 1.6L turbo...Doesn't sound all that promising for th Did you miss the 40 page thread?

Ah 4 prices, 4 different papers now. Now 180k car. Next week it'll be 200k no doubt. Wankkkkkkkkkkks!!!!!!!! Lols at the rumour mill.
