even a turd polisher like me could save this e30. besides, ive spent the week rebuilding most of the sill, jacking points, and exhaust on my Ԛ£50 touring. i dont think my hands can take much more!....my skin must have issues with glass fibre.

e30 rip. all parts will love on in another turd.

thanks for the spoiler karan.

we did a trade for a couple of pints. :o

ps. ive heard karan is a closit tea leaf!!

Gutted to see one of the cars that was attaining legendary status on the Zone. I had the privilige of taking a ride in it on the drift day at Silverstone earlier this year, and it was FUN :P

Never mind, another one will come along.

Karan, do you NEED to have it black ? How about a donor ?

Or this one ?

thanks Toby,,,

Toms an all round hero guy!! and i dont give a shi about the car anyway.... and Tim the leaves were round te outside and he was doing 20-30mph and about 3000rpm in 2nd so it wasnt that fast. he took a wide entry to check for oncoming cars ..... it was a accident and his mistake for not noticing the leaves....ACCIDENT is the keyword

touring was a good car but the shell owes me little only the time is a problem but im not bothered, as im sure the usual zone heroes will come down and give me a hand and all the stuff would be swaped in a day to a new shell

everyone was insured as tom has 3rd party on his own car and my car was fully comp as well.....

its my own faulkt for letting an inexperienced driver in there and also for not even beong in the car when it happened as i would have pointed it out to him

all in all u live and u learn.......not fussed at all at the loss of the car although tom is understandably upset that he has pissed me off even thoug i am fine about it!

Karan
i'd tread carefully regarding who was driving if i were you... assuming i read the above correctly! :D does tom have third party cover on his car or does he have fully comp cover on his car, which usually includes third party cover on any other car he drives? (yours)

i also believe your insurance company won't want to know as unless tom's named on your policy, it's not covered by them... unless he stole it!


i hope all is well though. the tourer can be replaced easy enough with a bit of help from the zone. the cars you hit however will cost you/tom if the insurance won't pay out.

like i said, i hope i misread your post!

yeah, didnt "read" the unintentional patrt, just saw the bit that said "mate lost it drifting on a corner as we all stood by and watched" appologies for the mix up.
