gets hit at midnight by someone who ran a red.
no witnesses
and hadn't quite got round to insuring it.....
says he's going to reshell it.

What on earth did he pay £5.5k for an M plate Impreza for
My mate sold his L plater for £3.5 and that had front mount intercooler, AP's, adjustable suspension etc.
Seriously though, no insurance, no sympathy

dont even think a witness could get him off with no insurance(good job there wasnt any then) infact he will probably have to pay for the other car aswell. does he know its been put on the web with description of whats happened for the whole world to see like the guy did with the r32 skyline.

I agree with your comments, I thought he would have dealt with the insurance too.
Police were on the scene so it's likely it happened where he said, as for how and who is to blame, who knows, it's all accademic now.
I told him 5.5 was too much but it has 18, coilovers, 6 pots and over 300 hp. he just had to have it.
I think he's just going to face the music and be straight with the police.
he'll be lucky if they let him loose with an electric powered chair...
expensive lesson to learn.
says he'll re-shell too.

slightly different.
happens all the time, uninsured people having accidents, been posts on here asking if it's fine to drive cars if own insurance covers anyone elses car, so i'm sure there is a small minority that aren't properly insured on here.

Don't care what others think I'm proud to have what I do. End of the day the Scoob drivers stop laughing when they realise their Jap supercar can't outpace a shonky old Ford Escort. Not saying it's better than a Scoob but it's my choice to drive them.

In a straight line.
From a rolling start.
You worded that like its like for like on the mods.
If a Scooby was modified as much itd be different
Anyhow, i dont care.

and it most certainly would be off the line or anywhere with bends!dont get me wrong i like rst's and yours is nice,but the scooby is a FAR better all round car to begin with and can be made far quicker with a lot less effort.

I don't dispute they are the better car but how many times have you come across a Scoob driver in your RS and they've just expected to beat you hands down because of what they are in?
A highly modified one.

How have I worded that like it was like for like on mods? That's the difference if I lose a tear up I can take it and acknowledge a quick car, when a Scoob driver loses more often than not their toys come out the pram.
