some tosser drove into the back of our beloved sti yesterday on M25 junction 30, Lakeside exit. we had to have roof removed to get us out as we had suspected spinal injuries, luckily all we got is whiplash, could've been so much worse. We were stationery when he hit. took fire brigade ages to get roof off as they are made so well.

 

if anyone wants parts please call 07895 914301 as we will try to buy it back from insurance co. It had only done 24,000 warranted miles with full subaru history. It had pro drive springs and exhaust. excellent tyres and brakes all round. last service was July at 21,000 miles.

 

jesus

 

gutted for you mate, main thing is your all ok.

any engine dress up items under the bonnet

 

hope you are all ok.

how much for the roof?

 

No way! Glad you guys are ok.

Why was you stationery in that location as that is just asking for trouble! No Offence!

 

im guessing he was stationary on the slip road (que?) the car will have been moved to the hard shoulder

 

Ah, Didn't think of that. Makes sense now!

 

At least you guys are OK, the car can be replaced you can't, still a bloody shame though

 

Any pics of the back? Must have been a tasty impact for you to think you had spinal injuries not just whiplash. At least you weren'r slammed into the car in front too.

5t.

 

ouch . looks nasty , glad u guys are ok , its only metal at the end of the day

 

Glad you guys are ok, Are the seats ok too?

 

Glad everyone is relatively fine as said above only metal

Ouch, glad you're okay.

If you do buy it back - I'm looking for the conector that goes on the back of the air bag. I'm looking to fit a Hawkeye 'black' sti steering wheel to my classic.

 

omg!! am glad your all ok?

gutted for you

 

gutted!!!

 

"suspected spinal injuries, luckily all we got is whiplash"

WOW i bet the "tosser" that hit you was going soooooo fast the front of his car must have been unrecognisable! it certainly cant have been the car parked directly behind with a bent bonnet can it ??

At least your ok

 

Glad you're all ok.

Its standard practice for the emergency services, even if the injuried party has got out of their crashed vehicle and got into another one, they'll want to chop the roof of that vehicle.

A mate of mine took his 15 yr old son to the hospital in his own car, a Jaguar (as no ambulances were available). He had a suspected broken leg & when he got there, the hospital refused to remove him from the Jag, saying they wanted the fire service to attend, chop the roof off and spinal board him out!!!
He told em to stick it and his son got out under his own steam.

I actually think they just like chopping roofs off cars!

As said already, any pics of the STi from the rear?

 

Glad you are o.k. - someone's facing a nasty claim !

dunx

P.S. So much of that poor car that I'd like.... Sorry.

 

that is a sorry sight, glad you are all ok.

Have you thought about building a Murtaya?? Watch out here come the vulchers !!!

PS how much for the brembos

 

Is the roof for sale.LOL
Sorry couldnt resist
Stay safe.

 

Your going to hell for that one!

 

glad your ok, will the gearbox still be ok ?

 

That sux, Im glad you are Ok, shame about the Scoob, it was in the best colour too!

Anyways chin up and hope you get a good payout soon that will allow you to get back mobile in a Scoob again.

I will take your cylinder heads off you if you do decide to get it back and brake it.

All the best and speedy recovery

As it's a complete write off, I doubt very much if the ins. co. will sell it back to you. Get to wherever it's been taken and get as much off it as you can. Tools, jack, spacesaver wheel even the locking wheelnuts and gearknob! All can be used or sold on, it'll make no difference to what you're offered in settlement (from experience of my sons 02 STi some years ago)
Got a feeling the fire brigade wrote the car off and not the guy who hit you?

JohnD

 

thats what it looks like from the picture, the damage on the car behind doesn't look bad at all, so if thats the car that went into the back of the scoob, it seems strange to have the roof cut off

But at the end of the day, its a lump of metal and its insured. glad everyones ok but i'd be devasted watching the fire brigade do that to my car

 

Glad you're OK

but gearbox diff and brakes please

 

dat luks pretty bad...glad your ok tho as mentioned only metal...btw how much for the full cabriolet scooby?

 

Seeing that reminds me of a friend of mine who worked for the highways agency, he happened to turn up a the scene of an accident & offered assitance to an elderly lady who was wandering about injured, he put her in the back of his 3 day old Discovery, when the ambulance turned up & asked her how she was she complained of back pain, the fire brigade cut the roof of to get her out.
Now the highways agency will not let any of its employees put people in there vehicles. Also the insurance did not pay out on a technicality.
