R.I.P Typhoon
 

Well today i had some silly BINT! ram my car from behind this evening

I was in stop start traffic at the end of the traffic and i see a car coming a bit too quick and i think she isnt gonna stop in time so i blast forward enough for her not to hit me, the traffic gets going again and next thing BANG! the stupid ***** hit the back of me car making me hit a Mercedes in front of me, so here are some pics:

all i can say is am Gutted

gutted mate :(

they will probs right it off just because of the paint alone

Thats a shame, if its written off you could buy it back from the insurers.

Thats terrible mate, she deserves some bad karma for wrecking a gorgeous ZS

oh my god!

Sorry to hear about the bump.

heres another Typhoon if you fancy another.

Damn...! As if there weren't few enough monogram colours. I always dread that happening to me.

...and as for being gutted. I'm sure that's contender for 'Understatement of 2009'.

OH NO ITS A HATCH!!!! lol

ouch! i'd take the springs, wheels and exhaust off it before the insurance company take it away.

What a waste :(

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
that is absolute misery gutted for you mate

**** sake, hope you stabbed the bitch. gutted mate :(

Gutted for you mate ... glad it's not down to you. Been to A&E ? You'll start to stiffen around the neck and shoulders I expect.

Yep ... write off for the paint I reckon. :cry:

yeah you DO have whiplash right, 3-4k ;)

i think the missus would have done if she had opened her window lol

There doesn't seem to be too much panel damage... New boot lid, bumper and light cluster unless there is other hidden stuff.

Assuming the others are right about it being written off (and i guess they are probably are as there have been others written off for less :cry:) i'd buy it back and fix it myself.

That is an absolute sickener................if that were mine I would probably :cry: I hope the insurers use a bit of common sense, but then again you did say you were pushed into the Merc infront, any front end damage?

You sound like you are in great pain.................:yes:

Really sorry for you mate, I saw the car at the MG onwers club meeting at Silverstone last year and it looked good then and I know you'd done a lot to it since then.

I hope your not injured in anyway as it looks like a hard impact.

the pics dont show the full extent of it, if you look at the rear quarter you can see its hitting the back door and the rear quarter is creased too

not much damage to the front just loads of scratches on the bumper/grill as for the pain, i am in great pain and just cant stop crying ;)

good lad ;)

so sorry to see that. i would considder buying it back and repairing it.

You must be devastated Steve! :no: so gutting........

Whatever happens.................keep your chin up mate...........there is always another ZS waiting to have your magic worked on it!

Jim

Sad news mate,
Sad sad news

I think I would have dragged her out the car personally, she sounds like she wasn't driving very well even before the accident!

What a waste of a stunning coloured ZS

F**++*g gutted for you Steve

Sickening :(

whit a stupid bitch, hope she gets plenty o ppoints an a nice big fine for being a tool:shoot2:

sorry to see this! twas a gorgeous zs

Gutted for you mate. It will deffo be written off though. If the quaters creased the rear panel and boot floor will have gone to. And maybe the rear chassis legs. :(

Saw this car today and surprisingly its not as bad as it looks

Its what you can't see that causes the problems.:unsure:

That's a real shame such a nice car.

think we should all wear a black arm band as a sign of respect for yet another beutiful zs that went down like a cheap whore

I could do with a cheap whore going down at the minute......

answers on the back of a postcard please!

Jim

the boot floor is fine and the chassis legs but the rear panel is fooked, i reckon i can pull it back to shape with the porter power so i am gonna try my hardest to get the car back off the insurance

Keep us posted mate :)

i know it's not brilliant but lets hope its possible to repair would be really sad to see that car go to the crusher it is a stunner

But if the rear quater has gone and you can see in the pic the rear door gap has closed up something is seriously twisted somewhere. I wouldnt trust putting it back on the road without having it jigged tbh mate.

well First of a all a Big thanks to George @ RSM for recovering and looking after my car for the last 2 weeks plus also supplying me with the parts to rebuilt it,

today i got the all clear off the insurance and been and picked the car up today, once i recieve the cheque then its rebuilt time

Excellent news dude :)

wahey!!!!!!!!

Bloody great news :) so happy for ya mate!!! Now is the time to get all those bits of trim sorted whilst the paint is in the gun!!!

Might want to do the dashboard trims and door inserts too whilst you are there!

My god your car is gonna look ******* awesome once shes fixed up! :hooray:
