RIP Trophy 433/500

[Hixle]

Wrote it off this morning on the way to work.

Extremely gutted and a bit sore, but ok. Especially gutted as I've spend just shy of 2 grand last month getting it immaculate so it's ready to be sold.

I'm going to attempt to buy it back, as the Turnini's/Recaros/Sachs/Spoiler etc are all in perfect condition still. So if anyone has any advice regarding how to best go about doing that it would be much appreciated.

So yeah, take it easy out there everyone. You may be on a road that you have driven every day for the past 5 years but you never know what's around the corner. In my case it was a lorry reversing into a drive causing a cue of traffic. The other driver is fine.

 

[imprezaworks]

Noooo, gutted.

 

[Toby]

<3 I'll text you.

 

[Vee]

Depending on who you're insured with you may have trouble buying it back. I couldn't buy it back from Elephant when i wrote off a VTS a few years ago

 

[Addicted]

Eek, just as you were trying to sell it .

Hope all is ok!

 

[BigDaveRotary]

As long as you are ok buddy .

Another Trophy bites the dust.

I have come across tthis in the past with a 106 but you never know. Certainly worth a try.

[Christopher]

F*ck!!

Hope you're ok dude. It looked great on Saturday too! :dapprove:

 

[Revels]

Holy s**t mate! At least you're okay!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Proper gutted mate, fingers crossed you can buy it back.
Dont forget things like the engine / gearbox / exhaust manifold is all worth good money too not just the trophy specific parts, at least a couple of grand to be had back in total with minimal effort.

 

[Laura]

AHHH s**t MATE!! i remeber it from the weekend and you saying how amazing it was... at lease tou dont have to f**k about selling it now...

lol.

hope your OK, and if its not too bad why not just buy it back and repoair?

 

[Lal B3N]

Gutted But at least you and the other driver is ok. Just a car at the end of the day, as nice as it may be.

 

[Chip-mk1]

if its not too bad why not just buy it back and repoair?

What sort of damage is there Luke?

 

[Italian_Job]

sorry to hear that, such a beautiful car
but you're ok that what counts

 

[Chip-mk1]

Gutted But at least you and the other driver is ok. Just a car at the end of the day, as nice as it may be.

less than 400 other trophies
over 6 billion other people

Which is really the hard thing to replace? lol

 

[Chris205]

Sorry to hear this luke, I'll pm you regarding if you buy it back

 

[Inequality Street]

At least the title is RIP Trophy, not RIP Luke. More important things than cars, hope you recover alright

 

[Eddie.]

Bad times mate

Glad you're okay though.

 

[Chris205]

Its always a gutting feeling when one of these things gets written off, such a lovely car especially when kept mint like luke's has been

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Oh for goodness sake.

I warned you about cleaning it, didn't I ?

I definitely did.

:dapprove:

 

[...]

It depends what catagory of write off it becomes , d you can buy back no problem , c is trickier but you should be able too , A and B not without a salvage licence

 

[Scrooge]

Oh nooooo!
Hope you're ok dude!

 

[Cub.]

Sorry to hear this, but at least no-one was seriously injured.

 

[Gorms]

Luke was it you that joined us for the south central convoy to CSS? If so im gutted you car was stunning. Was sat behind you most of the way.

 

[Adamm.]

Gutted for you mate .

I know this feeling all to well. Just don't do what I did and spend all your insurance money and end up in a ph1 lol.

 

[Martin.]

At least no one was injured that's the most important thing. Accidents happen.

How did the accident happen? From what you've said it sounds like you went up someone's arse? Must have been a serious whack to the front to write it off, without damaging any wheels?

 

[Rob]

Oh Luke, for f**k sake.

You did this just so I couldn't drive it now it's fresh, didn't you?

Hope you're OK mate

 

[Lal B3N]

I see your point but at least no one died.

 

[Adam D]

[Scrooge]

Buy it back, I'll fix it.

 

[Sam]

Ohhhh Luke. We where only listening to your gay music in it on saturday night!
At least your ok mate, that's the main thing!
Sam.

PS. Trophy spoiler for the bean? x

 

[Ade T]

Glad you're ok, cars can be replaced.

 

[Rob]

oh dear, was a really nice example from what i saw on Saturday. Glad you're okay man.

Did you know it was for sale too?

Too early? Sorry
