Got hit by a Lorry

[Matt1234]

Got hit by a Lorry yesterday. Was on the inside lane he then decided he wanted my lane and hit me into the kerb. I'm gutted.

Oh dear.

Nasty but most important thing is no one was hurt, car could have been worse off too!

 

[Matt1234]

Yeah could have been a lot worse. Just hoping they don't write it off. Just had the belts done.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

Make it clear you've spent a wedge on it recently.... That only looks like replacement wing and bumper and refurbed wheels from the pics.... Someone in my town had a 172 cup and they wrote it off, I went to look at it after a friend asked me to look at it for this guy and all it was needing is 1 Turini, replacement bumper and wing just like yours but they wrote it off.... And it was mint!!

Sorry to hear this mate.

Just out of interest though, were you undertaking for him to be able to do that or did he decide he wanted your lane as he was parallel to you while over taking?

 

[Mr Plums]

Shame mate, hope you get it sorted

Sorry to hear this mate.

Lol. What a question to ask. We're not all phoonigans! :tonguewink:

 

[Matt1234]

Parallel to him. I got two eye witnesses on my side. He has admitted that he was at fault.

 

[Impuzzable]

Ouch! Sorry to see the damage to your car... Good Luck with getting it sorted.

 

[LeeRS]

You were getting overtaken by.... A lorry???

Only joking. Glad your ok, could of been worse. Easy to fix that by the looks.

 

[Crybert]

Doesn't look too bad. No structural damage just body work which is always better than a head on or rear hit.

Doubt they'll write it off

 

[Matt1234]

I'm hoping they don't. Want it to go to a Bodyshop of my choice.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

Or look for a 182 your colour being broken and avoid bodyshop work all together...

 

[Inequality Street]

Selling the Turini's?

 

[Leeshez]

Ouch, that's nasty. At least that you are ok.

 

[Matt1234]

No mate. 2 will need a refurb now as one side got hit by the kerb and the other by the Lorry.

 

[Mike-bham]

Has it not bent the wheel assembly inwards though?

 

[Matt1234]

I need to get it to work to have a closer look.

 

[Matt1234]

Looks like the car is going to be written off. I'm going to buy it back just for the turini's and exhaust. Then I'm on the hunt for a racing blue or artic blue.

 

[Jekyll]

What's the spec?

 

[Matt1234]

Looking to spend around £3000 but must be clean as I'm into detailing big time. Must be a full fat as well. With average mileage. Willing to spend a little more for the right 182.

 

[Paris 182]

are you planning to break it?

 

[Matt1234]

Maybe mate.
