well i think it faired pretty good after its battle with a 44 ton lorry


DAMN POLISH !!!

Sally very shaken and has sore left arm and shoulder and was covered head to foot in glass and her handabag was full of glass

the lorry hit her twice

first impact was to n/s 1/4 panel which causedher to spin and be in front of the lorry

2nd impact

hit passenger door and wing causing the window to explode ,

witness have said the car was up on 2 wheels to a point it nearly tipped over


damage is not to bad though

1/4 panel does not need replacing
new passenger door and glass
new n/s front wheel
new / refurb scuffs to n/s/r wheel

the car is built like a tank so you are well protected it has 13 airpags so they would probably kill you rather than a impact , none were deployed though due to the type of impact

reckon we will get it back in 3 weeks

 

oh tom , we still are interested in that Exhaust , just waiting now on how long for parts

the standard seats are pants in the 350 even the leather is cheap in the standard car and wears terribly quick

, these are like you find on your home sofa , superb quality everyone admires them , he does 350Z seats to

i'm sure you'd be able to buy the covers and get them fitted by a local trimmer

 

OH No !!!!

Andy & Sally,

this takes me back to October 31st (halloween) when i had pretty much the same damage when i got 'T' boned. Can't believe it was only last sunday i was looking over your car and saying to my mate how clean it looked.
Did you get the police involved as some of these polish drivers don't have their paperwork in order.
Can you believe someone came down yesterday and bought pretty much the whole front end of my car as they had just had a smash with heavy front end damage. What is it with our cars ???
Don't worry about the exhaust as my car wont be here till June 7th then a week at SVA center. I will contact you if someone comes in for it before then to give you first option .
Glad Sally got out ok it must have shaken her up a bit. I know when it happened to me and the wife i was double checking at every junction for a week or two looking out for kamakazi old biddys coming at me.

His from long island U.S Andy, bit of a way to come for leather seats

srsly ;

Im sure i have seen threads on driver where you can get this done in the U.S and as always im pretty sure it would be cheaper than over here as we always get shafted with our taxes and vat.

 

had to be a polish lorry.. so typical! always see these foreign drivers takin the mickey, for some reason they love undertaking..

at least no one got hurt, glad you guys are okay, and hope that you get your car back to the norm, gotta say it looked amazing!

good luck with it!

 

Whats the thing poking out of your trunk lid?

 

that would be the reversing camera =)

 

I used to go to Japfest when I had my MR2 Turbo. Great days!

 

What a bummer! Could have been nasty. Glad you're ok. Lovely car hope you get it sorted real soon

 

Damn! Just noticed this thread. Sorry to see your car in such a mess. Glad the wifes ok. Like Tom says, I know how you're feeling right now. Both me and Tom have had incidents with our cars that I'm sure we'd both like to forget. Hope you get it back on the road soon.

Are you buying new replacement parts or secondhand?

 

hurts to look at

Worst thing is the pictures of the lorry make it seem that the lorry just needs a new bumper and a light paint job!

 

i noticed that too..nice!
