DISASTER !!!!


Sorry I’ve been quiet for a while.. !


After the car was all finished, we were on our way to the first show at the beginning of July, all excited ! Got 5 miles from home, and bang, a Lorry on a roundabout pulled out and hit the back of the car !


It was early in the morning. Luckily some witnesses saw the whole thing, and were more than happy to help out and give reports to the insurance company.


Its taken about 3 months, but insurance has now paid out (non fault claim), but the car has been declared as a Category D, which I’m gutted about, but it was the only way I could keep the car.


This is a highly highly modified vehicle, which I have insured under its own policy, with every modification declared, and always have done.


HUGE thank you to Lee Haswell at A-Plan, and Kindertons, sooooooo glad I paid for the legal cover each year !


In over 20 years of driving, I’ve had very few claims. I thought due to the nature of the vehicle, and the modifications this was going to be a horrible end to a car I own (ironically, 13 years this year) with a rubbish pay out !


Have I said thank you to A-Plan yet. An insurance company is only as good in the event of a claim, and this was really hassle free. Brillinat Brilliant Brilliant !


I can now set to rebuilding the car (Once Stagea Project is finished!)


Not too looked at the damage too much yet, but the rear wheel is buckled, and pointing the wrong way. Its shifted over the boot lid, bumper and broken both rear lights !

Know your pain. My 944Turbo that I had been getting to work right and upgrading for 3 years was written off one cold winters morning. Like you, so glad I had an excellent understanding insurance company and agreed value along with all the declared mods on the policy.
I'm sure you'll have her back on the road
 
Oh Man! That is really bad news! What a moron. I hope you get it all sorted out and back in better than new condition.
 
I would think that you would have been able to claim "Justifiable homicide" as your defense if you had done what you had probably wanted to do to the other driver when it happened.;)
 
Well, after a while, and thankful we pay for legal cover, insurance now settle as a non fault. Big thanks again to A-plan. Mention TMS Motorsport when getting a quote :)

Time to start rebuilding... As you can see the wheel took some damage. So a new one was needed..

NEW HEATED WINDSCREEN AND ROLL CAGE GUSSETS

Read the full story on the The Project Moff Blog



Sometimes the simple things catch you out ! When you have bonnet pins, make sure they are down before setting off ! Luckily we had finished racing around the track for the day. As you can see from the photos below, it has caused quite some damage !


Bonnet pins broken, all the bonnet bracing cracked, bonnet corners broken, and the windscreen is cracked !

New heated front windscreen fitted. One question which will probably be asked is 'what external trim did you use?'. We have just used a universal one. Some say they don't fit, some say they do. We are in the 'they do' camp. We did have an experienced fitter, maybe that can be the difference !?

Tongue firmly in cheek but knowing Steve being OCD /anal when it comes to weight reduction along with making holes in everything he gets his hands on did he cobble up the gussets for you.:lol:
