Nurb
Well nearly nine weeks after the hailstorms here in Perth the insurance company have nearly finished their paperwork and the news today was not good.
Our VXR Red is gone.
The buy back option is not viable for me at present as it would take too long to have the car repaired and back on the road.
It may make a reasonable project car for someone though as the panel damage is not that bad it was the water damage to the mechanical side that killed,quoted $20,000 for an engine re-build,including turbo,intercooler etc.
Although they could not say for certain how much damage was done until they tore it down the insurance company wanted the worst case scenario.
So I have to now think about a replacement car.

Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
Unlucky mate, but would you really have wanted it back after all that drama?
just wanted to kinda mention *cough* that theres this on *cough* carsales... *cough*

Sad to hear, but atleast you still have the blue one, and a new door open for something new
