Re: Re: Re: noooo my car ;-(

No wonder you crashed.


Well good luck on not getting raped by a repair bill.

 

Re: Re: Re: Re: noooo my car ;-(

Goddamit, you stole my whitty retort

Hope it's ok mate

 

Thats nothing compared to what happened to my mum.. she was driving down the motorway.. no problems at all and then for no reason her nearside front tire COMPLETELY exploded leaving only a few shreads of tire left. If i can find the drebry she took home i'll take a pic. Must have been a pretty sobering experiance.

 

Re: Re: Re: Re: noooo my car ;-(

He he, I did not crash


leet_llama the only crashing I do is in Live For Speed.

I am not looking forward to the upcoming bill ;-(

 

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: noooo my car ;-(

think of it this way

the sooner you get the bill

the sooner you get your sub on wheels on the road

& the sooner you can treat it to another woofer for surviving


have you guessed i ahve a unhealthy obsession with car hifi yet

 

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: noooo my car ;-(

There is nothing unhealthy about being an obsessed audio nut like myself

I am removing most of my sound kit Sunday, I prefer it to be safe in my house then left in the car.

 

i cant say anytihg the bill for the planned hifi in my pug is slowly increasing

the sound dedenings gonan cost a fortune as it is let alone anytihg else

 

Micb - Can someone move this into the Motors forum.

Well I have had my car checked out, it needs a new propshaft so I am looking at most likly £300+ repair bill.

The good news is that I am picking up my Grandmothers T Reg Honda Civic 1.6 Es i with 22,000K on the clock tonight as a replacement car until mine is fixed.

 

Shame about the car dude, hope the bill isn't a hefty b*****d...

Shouldn't this thread be in the "motors" forum instead of here..?

 

Did Krikkit even read the last post , lol

 

Take photos of the potholes and the damage they have caused to your car. You can probably get the council to pay for the damages to your car.

 

that was very silly of me indeed...

 

Well I have picked up the new Civic so am I no longer without car for the time being.

 

my car has cost me 20p in replacement parts so far!! It was for a plastic non return valve for the rear washer. the stingy buggers at fiat made me pay for it though.
sorry to hear about the bill. Anyway, when you get your tank on the road again you can go and find the bugger that made you emergency stop and drive straight over his car.

 

Buckle up people, next stop... "Motors Forum"

 

Well you could have not stopped... probably more damage but then his insurance is paying for it...

 

Well I spoke again to garage and the cost may have gone down £100 and may be done in the next few days.

I have been having fun in the new Civic, Air Con is great when it is hot, My volvo does not have this.

The Civic is an automatic around 125 BHP, it has four gears which redlines at 7 RPM, the car gets really peppy around 3000+ RPM.

First gear can be pushed to 40 MPH Second to 68, Third to 100 forth...... did not need to go faster

The Civic is faster than my Volvo, it handels nicely but I still notice the difference in FWD understeer to RWD oversteer.

 

Well I now have my Volvo back and have returned the Civic.

The repairs were cheaper than I thourght, they came to £250 total so I am quite pleased.

I still need a service for the car which I will have done in a couple of weeks

 

& to treat it to another woofer obviousely

 

I would love to treat it but adding another Infinity would mean getting another amplifier and more wiring the costs would rise.

Summer going out is already costing me too much.
