Another Dead Zed :( RIP :(

Courtesy of a P plated driver who thought she could search in her handbag whilst on her phone whilst driving down a busy dual carraigeway she completely failed to see a stopped line of traffic and smashed straight into them without even hitting the brakes and my brother happened to be sitting 2 cars down so got it front and rear

Can't see this ever coming back, bonnet, grille, front bumper, front crossmember, rear bumper, rear valance, tailgate, and small crease in nearside rear quarter are all visible without even stripping it down.

He's removing his ICE tomorrow and anything he can take off that won't be too obvious as he'll be looking for a mk2 180 when the money comes through.

As some of you will have seen in the for sale section this car was on pistonheads and he had 4 people coming to look at it tomorrow, he's had to phone them all and they are all as gutted as he is!

Disaster

Was such a nice car too!

Oh well, fingers crossed your bro gets an over-the-odds payout and ends up better off!! That would be nice! Shame to see a Zed disappear from the roads though

Maybe someone will repair it, but thats a long shopping list if so.

Such a shame, glorious colour too. Silly cow. I hope the police are involved, that a serious offence if she was on her phone. What a total idiot, it's a real shame what's happened to the Zed, but she could have killed someone.

Shocking news, glad he's okay but gutted for your brother......................or is he?

What a shame......never seen a pink zed before

It makes you wonder if its worth having old tyres front and back, most of the write offs seem to be rear end shunts. If youve got a ZS even driving it as it should you dont get many driver accidents.
