RIP PUG TURBO

Post by korumkills »

Morning all!!

Today is a sad day as this morning at 7am a bike hit the side of my car.

The whole passenger door and sill are smashed so looks like a write off

so looks like a new car for me :(

biker is in hospital but was talking ok and seems he will be ok

Sorry to hear that Korum , being a 406 owner and a biker myself i'm having a bit of a schizo time with this post - one part wants to jump up and down and scream F***IN CAR DRIVERS , whilst the other laments at probably another 406 gone to the great scrapyard in the sky. Out of curiosity how did he hit your passenger side - did you pull out into the traffic ? - was he speeding and didn't have time to slow ?.
Anyway if it was your fault please don't say you ran over and said the immortal " sorry mate , didn't see you there " :evil: as some tart in a metro once said to me after she had nerfed me and the bike into a ditch !!!!.

Unlucky mate. Have you considered buying it back off the insurance company and sticking a new door from a breakers yard on it? The turbo's a lovely car and it'd be a shame to have another one meet the scrapyard :(

Sorry to hear that mate, main thing is everyone's OK.

As MJB says, if the car's a write off it may be worth buying it back, you can replace a door and replace / repair the sill. As long as there's no structural damage she'll be fine.... :?

sorry my mistake it was my drivers dorr (still not with it)

was pulling out into a road from a car park and there was loads of cars parked on the road on my side so was inching out around them.

From what i heard from witnesses he was weaving in and out of the traffic so may have been speeding.

sorry wes i didnt see him though he may of been behind the car that was coming down when i looked and then overtook the car as i looked the other way but it was dark so couldnt tell.
