You unhurt I take it? That's the important thing.

What's the story.

Nooooooooo not another dead one shame to see that dude hope you are okay.

ooops, what happened, hope you're ok.

The car looked a minter

Shame ..... you go sideways into a kerb or something ?

What a shame, well looked after motor.

Suspect you could get it sorted, rear damage looks a bit like Richy's, few new bits, less the front is more bent than it looks.

Hope your OK, as you say its only a car.

nasty:| hope your okay, n after all that hard work at the weekend as well, looks a little worse than mine at the back, if its going through insurance its deffo a writeoff:(

Was going up a slip road which was a long lefty. Back end slid out think I over compensated and it snaked a bit into the crash barrier spun around and got the back end too. All happened in a flash tbh. No other cars involved. Me and the mrs are both fine. Managed to creep it around the corner into a car park and go home to get my tools to strip some bits before the insurance had it taken away.

Loom out for some bits coming up for sale soon.

Gutted! It was looking fantastic too mate. Just glad you and the mrs are ok.

You must be gutted, mate, that car looked great.

I am a bit but strangely I haven't thrown a wobbly or anything... Can't change things now and it could of been much worse in many respects. IE other cars in the back of me etc...

good news is that you and the misses are ok mate,car was stunning!

true

...speaking of which, dont suppose you fancy giving me the dual exit exhaust set up for pennies?

dude that blows but glad you and your lady are ok

LOL... Insurance have got her now so keep an eye on the scrappies...

Thanks for all the kind words guys :) appreciated!!

Thats gutting man :( but as said up there ^^ at least your both ok

sorry to hear that mate, at least your both ok. u leaving the car to the insurance company or scrapping it yourself? always a shame when its a nice car as well. chin up

LOL Leigh! WTF man?!?! That looks a right mess :(

Sorry to see that another ZS is dead :(

just want to echo the rest of what people have said that you and the Mrs are ok!

Cheers mate!?!?!? :evilmad::bounce::evilmad:

It's more your response I'm laughing at than the situation!!! :strongbench:

I know dude. Was just pulling your tadger!!

PICS UPDATED IN FIRST POST!!

glad your ok :) just noticed that your tax was due at the end of the month lol, thats a ?245 saving lol

Damn shame to see your car like that, good to hear no one was badly injured.

Lol... Was one of the first things I said. Hahahhaa

Glad you are okay.

That looks nasty but I suspect it is a cat c, most of the damage is panel damage only, might make a good project for some one.

Well what a totally tragic end to my old car!!!!

Regretted selling that the second i saw it driving away!

Still it's curtains for it now!

Another 180 goes ot it's grave!!!!!!!!

Matt??

Sorry (shame on me) :(

**** happens mate,me and craig off this forum have seen our zs written off its sore to look at,i was lucky enough to buy her back and get her on the stand at smc,hard graft but she was worth every second!

Can I get that front wing for the Slowver?

Another Zed gone :(

Such a good looking one too!!

Glad you and the missus are ok though Leigh!!

That big slab of boot remained intact though ;)

Out of interest... how much would the insurance want to buy that back ;)

in wanted to ask that but didnt want to rub salt in the wounds too quick :laugh:
a nice project for someone or spares for the rest of us.

LOL... Leave the slab out of it!! :angry:

Have been thinking about it but there are a few things I'm unsure of.
Who do I ask to buy it off?
How do I scrap the remaining shell or what I don't remove?

Tbh I don't have anywhere to store it while I work on it or anywhere to put parts that come off it.

I'd start by calling the insurance company and ask for a buy back figure (you never know they may offer it to you for ?200 or something)...

then First I'd look to see if it was feasable to fix it (a few suspension components etc) and if not then look at scrapping it...

If you have a trailer the end stripped shell can be weighed in at pretty much any metal merchants... just have to remove the tyres usually :)

As for space, yes that can be an issue... if you were down south I'd say stick it on my drive and I'll help strip things off (as I could do with some bits myself :p)

just say to the ins comp that ye wanna buy it back,depends on what cat they write it off but i would say its a cat c or d mate,you should be able to buy it back,but you would need somewhere to keep it

If you buy it back and decide to break (assuming its Cat C or D, although I reckon C), then you could either strip it down yourself or Im sure someone on here will buy it off you to strip it down - all dependent on how much the insurance company want, really.
Either way, you'll probably make more money out of buying it back then just getting the settlement they offer you. Then you can buy another!

ps I still call dibs on the exhaust.

Pleased to know you and the mrs are okay, a real shame to lose another fine zed, that's life.

to make matters worse...

I took the sub out and other bits. Haven't had time to sort stuff out so I left them in my girl friends car.... They have now been stolen!!.. hahhaha

Whats next, these things come in 3's

What rough luck, best stay indoors mate!
