Think she might be dead

I think my 5's just been stretchered off to the scrappy!!!

Senile old woman in a corsa rounded a bend in my village doing I reckon over 40mph, straight over onto my side of the road and straight into me!!!!!!!!

On the plus side her insurance company have called saying she has admitted full liability and fault.

Minus side...my car I reckon it'll be written off, damage would appear to be:
both AEs smashed
Bonnet bent in and up.
Front bumper smashed and pushed upwards
Rad gone
NS wing smashed in and back
OS wheelarch doesnt look too clever either.

BUM

That's a shame, but the main thing is you've lived to tell the tale.  Cars can be replaced or repaired.  It doesn't stop the feeling of disappointment though!

Hopefully things will work out on the insurance front.  The problem is though that the pay-out doesn't cover the hassle factor and general annoyance caused, unnecessary paperwork, etc. so generally speaking you end up out of pocket to some degree.

Still, the bright side is that you may get to go shopping again!

Realy sorry to hear you bad news. And your car looks so good in the pics.

Any pics of her now(just for the gool in me)

Any way do you really want a crash repaired car. Also its nice shopping for a new car.

Best of luck.

Sorry to hear that John.
Can you recover any ogf the parts and replace them with original parts - e.g. angel eyes?

Terrible news mate, my comiserations - I know all too well how it feels.

Although, if your Beemer was damaged that badly, what on earth was her Corsa like?! Those things are built from woad and spit, and have all the structural integrity of a damp cornflakes packet.

If the damage isn't structural, I'd say they might have a bash at repairing it. I killed my last e28 by removing a signpost at 70mph (not my fault), and the only structural damage was a very slight kink in the scuttle. The e39 is even better built, so I'd say structurally it might be ok. Wait and see I suppose. All the best with it.

soz mate thats f... sucks

Sent a shiver down my spine. It dosent look too bad. Over here you can buy it bcak of the Insurance company even if they do wright it off. IT looks like an easy repair. And looking at the pre crash photos and the fact you have a new engine it might be worth doing.

I hope the gave you a respectibale replacement car. My BM is getting the auto box fixed at the moment under warranty and the feckers gave me a saxo

 

Cheers

Bad luck, Stone.  Hope you get sorted OK.

Just been to where she's being kept til the repairers pick her up tomorrow....whipped the CF bonnet, boot & wheel badges plus CD changer.Just incase.

If they write it off then I'll be up changing the celis rears too!!!

Not sure bout the chassis. More I think about it the more I reckon she should be repairable. Wheels could be turned and the car would start and was driveable-ish.
