[Dregger]

$2500 and 2 and half weeks of being without KiTT.

(lukcy with insurance only pay $750 excess)

Well it appears your OK - Your able to type coherently. Glad your in one piece mate.

But that would have to be the most expensive rear brake duct i have ever seen. :wink:

[OzzySRi]

How'd it happen?

[RK]

Airducts! To cool the rear brakes!

Am i right, am i right?! :D

[FlySri]

Spewing !!!! Big time !!!! :cry: :cry:
Good to hear your alright !!!!
But dosen't out do the other side ????!!
Hope you can get Kitt back before the next cruise !!!!

[Anonymous]

Ferk :shock: Thatsa No Good Boss :(
Are ya going to get the other Damage Fixed?

[Dregger]

Nope it wasn't a blind spot check failure.
Yes well it all happened when i was on my way home at 2am. It was raining and i was going around a corner and the rear slid out, the front tyre kept traction and the car mounted a traffic island, went sideway along the island, then wacked into a pole with a kept left sign.



Nick, yep gonna get the other side fixed aswell.....and thats gonna cost me $1100 ...soo much, but they explained to me why its soo much to fix that small scuff. to do it properly they are gonna respray the qtr panel, rear bar and door(overspray) and take out my window.

he said if they do a tape up job at teh window, that the paint will peel when water gets underneath. The guys that are doing are very good in what they do, they refuse to do half ass jobs.

they even said they wont colour code my car cause there are great chaces of it peeling (if the plastic parts have been on the car for a while - build up of containminats, grime etc). They said they will only do it, if i get all new plastic parts, ei....skirts, door handles etc) so i ahev decided not to bother about colour coding the car, as much as i would like to. i'll with it.

They said if the car is brand new and you get it done straight away then its fine.

[PaulTheBall]

Bad luck there... yep you're right when I bumped into another car in the work carpark it cost heaps to get it repaired because the window had to be taken out + entire panels painted.

I hope you get your car back for the cruise! hey you probably won't even have to wash since the panel beater does it for you :D

[Dregger]

yeah....basically half the car is going to be repainted....i'm happy with that!

[Vectracious]

The question is, are the second hand tyres on the back wheels or the front wheels????

Tsk Tsk.. :P

[Dregger]

well the tyres on front are new secondhand tyres.....and the back tyres are old second hand tyres....if that makes sense..... hard to explain.....

[VampyrE]

oh you poor bas**rd...

I feel for ya mate, i really do....i wasn't so lucky when the bimmer hit me, he was uninsured and i was unrego'd (for 1 bloody day!!)...

hope ya get your baby back soon!

[Dregger]

two more weeks to go without KiTT..... i'm lonely..... :(
