New car, dead 3 months later :-(

[16v_paddy]

Well after all the hassle I went through to get the clutch done, twice, to make it to a trackday at Castle Combe in July, the car has suffered terminal injuries. Got t-boned by some old dear in a focus last night

only had the thing for 3 months as well

Think the pics sum up the damage really, no way are the insurance gonna fix that, so will have to go through the motions with them as I will deffo buy it back & break it for parts as there's quite a few expensive goodies on there.

I'm ok, but the old dear that hit me went to hospital in an ambulance, she wasn't cut out of the car or anything dramatic like that so I'm assuming she's physically ok. Her car got off lightly as the only visible damage was a cracked bumper under the headlight on the drivers side

Don't think gutted quite covers how I feel tbh

Here it is in action just a few weeks ago at Combe, I got the car off my Dad at the beginning of May
