Loved this car purely because I always wanted one and said I'd never sell it and I wouldn't have, bought other cars but still kept this one. Some complete arsewipe decided to pull out on me and I had nowhere to go, thank fook it had door airbags, arm and side are sore and bruised but not as much as the car. Had to boot the passenger door open to get out as the smell of fuel and smoke plus oncoming traffic was worrying lol. Loved my RS, but for some reason became more attached to this. Police managed to cause another accident when they arrived!

 

That's shit fella, did the other car stop?

 

Gutted for you James, glad your OK tho!

 

Sorry to read this mate

Glad your ok though

what did the police do/say ??

 

Nope, and tbh I dont think he was even looking.

 

Police were actually really good apart from jamming on their brakes and causing another shunt! The two I dealt with were really helpful and said they would check the cameras, but all I could really say was it was black or dark blue, genuinely happened that fast and even then proof is very difficult. Cars behind stopped but they were further behind and didn't see exactly what happened. Gave me their names, numbers and a bit of advice and said they would be in touch.

 

shit buddy.

 

nightmare!

 

You're kidding!

Gutted for you mate....

 

Drowning my sorrows as we speak, lot of happy memories in that car

 

ahh mate, feel for you.

 

Hey James,

Really sorry to hear your news - I know that was a lovely example of an M3 Evo - I will remember my drive well.

I remember thinking to myself, these cars are old they wont be that quick, and it just KEPT on pulling!!!!

Gutted for you matey

RW

 

GUTTED! kinda no how it feels when your pride joy gets the once over! at least your ok!

 

Sad mate, hope they catch the wanker that caused it. Will you buy another M3?

Smudge

 

I'll bet lol

On the hunt for another?

 

cant it be saved?

 

Nah, was just attached to that one. Sore this morning though!

No chance, pictures dont do justice tbh. Couldn't even open driver door. Strut tops are ripped apart. Impact was so hard the battery actually came out!

 

shit jimbo thats not good news

e46 time!

 

M Coupe time!

 

Was just a toy and only kept it for sentimental reasons, so doubt it will be replaced. Had a red M coupe for 6 months, awesome car totally loved it but had to sell it for something bigger and more boring.

 

gutting dude

least your ok

 

Picked it up today, looked worse than I remembered!









Engine runs perfect though Breaking it was hard.

 

Was such a mint car - bet there's a few quid in breaking it though?

 

Mates M coupe got broken by the dismantlers that bought it. They got Ł7K for the 53K engine and box!

 

Sorry to see mate

 

bad times on the BM bud

dont wona seem heartless but you got any more pics of the mini?

 

Hopefully something, underside is bad and was pissing fuel so had to cobble a repair to get the engine running. Luckily the sump was protected, but everything is shredded and bent, even the exhaust tip!



You can see the back end in this picture, but it's not my cup of tea. Homebuilt 1380 in for finishing work, or rather starting work. Car is a shambles, everything is either loose, wrong or fucked. Looks tacky as to boot, should see the bonnet! Will be here a while lol.

 

WTF surely the point of those barriers it to stop the vehicle from crossing into the opposite carriageway not flatten like that!!!! You were 'lucky' not to cross the reservation and have a head-on.

 

Cibie on the boot old school cool lol but whats he done to the lights

 

Hey up Eil, long time no speak.

Sorry to read this, but the main thing is you are OK. You can replace metal but not body parts.

 

it hasn't got a twin exit PlayMini style exhaust and a turbo engine in it by any chance??? looks awfully familiar........


gutting about the crash mate! but I'll say that old tacky phrase, cars can be replace lives can't

 

That's gutting that is mate - looked a lovely example!!! Least you're ok - there's some right knobheads on the road isnt there!!!

Hope you get things sorted with whatever you decide to do!!

 

really gutted for you buddy.he did a proper job on you.and to carry on as well!
looked a lovely car.at least you aint too bad.couldve been alot worse really.

 

Doesn't have the turbo engine, but he did buy it as an unfinished project so who knows lol.

Cheers everyone for the support, much appreciated. If carma comes around, he/she will get theirs

 

tis a shame, your alive though!

 

Sad to see James

 

have got an ECU spare?????
