Carbon is hibernating

3V0M-WP · Nov 4, 2010

I had an accident at last months track day. :bawling:

After coming out of turn 3, the back swung out and I managed to control it a bit until it went onto the gravel then it went sideways into the tyre wall. Bounced off the wall then went airbourne and flipped onto its side.

IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve been on the track for 11 years. Never had an accident until now :bawling:

The other kak thing is that the insurance wont cover it. :cursin: But they allow BMW track days in JHB

3V0M-WP · Nov 4, 2010

Was driving a courtesy hired Tiida until yesterday. Now driving the kombi or dads merc.

Gonna get other quotes and take it somewhere else for repairs.

Rennzport · Nov 4, 2010

so you're change insurers as well?
At least you made it out ok.

Unlucky one, must be costing you alot. The ///M badge at the back much have added too much extra horsepower.

Had to climb out the sunroof as the car was on its side.

Had neck whiplash for about a week.

BMW Coachworks was R280k max quote. They quote for everything before they strip.

Gonna go to others for quotes

Sorry for your troubles bud, that must suck serious donkey bits...

What year is the car, and how much do you owe on it.. This is going to cost you oodles to fix.

I would part it depending on the value.. THe damage looks like its only cosmetic, but thats A/C pillar, roof, door, any airbags pop ? perhaps sunroof, bumpers, tailgate...

If it was not for the roof damage, you should be able to buy the parts indivually from a scrapyard and it should not be too hard to find, but the shell is injured, so your fairly screwed....

Give me a ring if ya need some advice...

Ouch! Sorry to see this bud... :bawling:

Did the curtain airbags deploy? I'd be surprised if not...

I didn't know that they allow BMW track days... Which insurer you with?

Sankekur · Nov 4, 2010

Damn man, that really sucks :bawling:

Legacy · Nov 4, 2010

Thats horrible:bawling::bawling:

My sincere condolences seeing that a little part of me just died:bawling::bawling::bawling:

Twinz · Nov 4, 2010

Damn that is unfortunate.:bawling:

Glad you are unscathed from the accident.
Consider parting with it instead of fixing as suggested by ZL.

Its dreadful that the insurer is not paying. I assume you are with bmw insure? Sorry buddy, its bad.

Rennzport · Nov 4, 2010

i think none of the airbags popped :dropjaw:

DonovanPorter · Nov 5, 2010

Prev · Nov 5, 2010

Ouch....insurance companies should change their motto's to "adding insult to injury"

menno11 · Nov 5, 2010

Damn man! things happen so fast, ad you dont realise the speed you doing on the track till you not on the track anymore and you trying to stop!! I say, sell the car and get a new one. Oh, and maybe buy a Corsa again just for track use!!

Phumi · Nov 5, 2010

moranor@axis · Nov 5, 2010
