Supercharged 2 Posted October 29, 2005 Yeah, was gonna say - it's a proper write off as well, completly f*cked! Say you bought it back and broke for parts - I reckon you'd struggle to make £500 out of it, offset that against your time and it's worthless, just scrap value... No wonder our insurance is so high with these idiots on the road, I reckon that bloke has just cost his insurance company at least 25k! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi-knight83 0 Posted October 29, 2005 well i had 2 quick response medics, 2 fire engines, 3 police cars and a proper ambulance, 3 rescue vehicles to remove the cars. All the vehicles are written off. Atleast 2 or 3 of the people involved will probably claim for whiplash etc. im not gonna bother with anything from my car. anythng worth money is wrecked.

jedi-knight83 0 Posted October 29, 2005 yeah... god knows where i would be tonight if that was in the vr6... there built very well but im sure a 10 year old car would have shown its ages and lack of safety features in an impact of that size! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trig 0 Posted October 29, 2005 Dude, sorry to see this, I loved the look of that car (before crash) and secretly always wanted it. Glad you are OK. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted October 29, 2005 Just seen this- glad you and everyone else is OK! Can't believe you all got out of this. Just shows, one moment of madness from someone and this (and a lot worse) can happen. Quite sobering really. Hope the insurance coughs up the full amount for you.

shaung60 0 Posted October 29, 2005 I try to look on the positive side when things like this happen. Thankfully no serious injuries to the innocent parties (you and van man) and that your helmet went off into the field instead of staying in the car and ending up smacking you in the head and causing you some serious damage. Cars can be repaired or replaced, flesh and bone are not as resilient. I hope that Mazda man will learn from this. I wish you a speedy recovery, both mentally and physically.

Yandards 0 Posted October 30, 2005 Damn that looked big! Lucky everyone is ok - there are a few junctions on my regular commute that make me twitch with people pulling out at really dumb points; there is no way the 'rocco would protect me that well at those sorts of speeds. Number 13 bus going by in the pics too for those that believe in such things.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevemac 0 Posted October 30, 2005 Brings back memories of my younger driving days. Good to see you're okay though - could so easily have been a different story that we're reading here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted October 30, 2005 could so easily have been a different story that we're reading here Yeah, if you'd been doing 130mph you'd have been well clear of that junction before the Mazda got any where near it :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lukeage 0 Posted October 30, 2005 wow - so please you got out of that okay. That make's my previous prangs look trivial Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blair 0 Posted October 30, 2005 Ouch...glad to hear you walked away. One of the reasons I figured higher mileage = need for a newer car - I reckon in my sales job the chances of something like this happening are starting to climb uncomfortably quickly, and if it happens I'd rather be in something newer with airbags all over the shop. I guess it puts the difficult sale into perspective - if you'd flogged it before and been tempted back into a Corrado things could have been much worse. Things often have a way of turning out for the best! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeNose 0 Posted October 30, 2005 Always thought that S3 was particularly worthy of admiration too, damn shame. WTG on walking away from that one though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rado-steve 0 Posted October 30, 2005 Reminds me of my Crash in My Mk2!!! Hit side on then span into another car! That one broke my pelvis, strong as a mk2 is If i'd been in a newer car think I might of walked away instead of being cut out!!!!! Glad you are ok, cars can be replaced, people can't!!
