erm ouch and whoops

going to work this morn i managed to put my car through a fench and a sign

the car's knackerd but im fine although i feeling this could be the end of the road for my scooby ownership at least for a few years

was going to take it to the clinic but its as bad as AL'S car was
sorry al
although some of you may not belive me i was'nt arseing it or messing about
this is what i remember so far .............coming up to a motorway round about something bolted across the road i swerved and the back end just went sending me right > in the direction of a bridge which i corrected but as the same time the car snapped back and the ABS went **** off and i mounted the curb and on wet grass i could not stop which is why i was sat in a sign bonza


so its back to the delights of a lantra for me just hope it's alton who do it because the car will be better than it is now


fookin magpies


my name is JAKbauer24 and this is going to be the longest day of my life

 

Give me your t-shirts back, I'm gonna add 'World's Unluckiest Scooby Owner' to the back.

You know where I am if you need owt, lifts, etc.

Are you sure there was no deisel on the road? Seen LOADS of it about lately, and the slightest bit of rain makes it act like an ice rink.

 

don't know but i travelled at 35mph for a distance of 50 meters but there was no traction at all anyway not to worry these things happen

 

to you.

often.

Do you own a black cat, live at number 13, and pass below a couple of ladders on the way to your car?

 

Mate. You are entertainment persononified...

I've driven past you only a number of times and you've showed me through your side window your speeding FPN on the M18 and your rear number plates on the A1. You've wrecked gearboxes and then tested the new one at Elvington... Apart from gaining the title of WYIOC Head Chef I feel that Court Jester would have been likely considering the various incidents we've been hearing about ...

I have a feeling you'll still be around and that the car will be back after an initial period of mourning....

Unlucky mate.... Hope everything is not as bad as it seems and call me if you need anything..

 

...and where's the pics you promised?

 

Good to hear you are ok m8y, damn shame about the car...

 

Martin just told me about this

Glad you're OK James, feckin shame about the car but it can be fixed, hopefully Martin said there is some damage to the roof, and if so it could be bad I'm afraid

Bl00dy awful weather today, probably worse than yesterday at Scoobywet Live. I've just called off any reason to set foot outside the house. As Andy says, the amount of diesel and other sh!te all over the roads right now is a disgrace. Just a mile from my house I spotted a fresh pile of builders sand that has been dumped out of an open pick-up (probably) right on the turn-in of a blind off-camber bend

 

Just spoken to corradoboy, who mentioned this to me.

Really sorry to hear that mate, you have been so unlucky with that car over the short time ive known you.

i drove to Manchester and back in the early hours, and the M62 was awfull, so much surface water everywhere. Just goes to show how easy accidents happen even when we are taking it easy.

Let us know if you need anything mate.

 

yup now you mention it 30 grand as i need a type 25

 

pm'd you mate. Please find attached a cheque for £30k.

 

I could probably rustle up enough for a Rover 25

 

removed pics because of tw@ts at work but i'll leave you with this





6 **** head v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v vv v v v v v

 

Oops

 

this is my old sunday league top as worn when i broke my hand 11 times










and for sale this is genuine and not a copy offers

 

theres plenty in a field somewere going cheep

 

good news i fits in't garage now its smaller

 

That screams bodyshell to me m8y...

 

Tell you what mate, how about you and me get together, I reckon if we take the good bits from yours and replace the bad bits from mine we could finish up with a blindingly good car

Of course just exactly how long it would last if either of us drove it is anyones guess so we'd just have to sell it ASAP and enjoy the money


ps gutted for you mate

pps on the bright side if the insurance write it off at least that will solve your gearbox woes

 

quick update the insurance has sorted a investigator to come round and look at the car but the quickest they can do it is a week on fri is it me or does that take the p155

 

James, is it with Alton Cars?

My assessor came around in a week or so too. Doesn't sound unduly taking the pi55 if they're busy...

Top Tip... Make sure your tyres are road legal... The first thing they'll do is take a tyre guage to the tyres... if they're illegal in any shape or form, they'll walk away and you'll have an argument to define road legal...

 

no al its a company called aww ive spoke to a plan to push for alton and tyres
are legal tyre pressure will be checked promply cheers mate

 

F**k me james, just when u got the box doing its job.Sorry to hear news mate.By the way james,come on 1/4 mile time.

 

Really sorry to hear the bad news, here's hoping you manage to get it sorted out soon and get back on the road.

 

Can't really add any more than when I called you this morning mate,

Chin up no seriously smile mate, another experiance to chalk on the board

 

cheers mick for the call this morn well and truley gutted about the car but hey these things happen / experiance of this nature are you sure you've enough chalk

cheers everyone for the kind words and the times on a really wet strip were

E.T TERMINAL

RUN 1 17.57 @86mph

RUN2 15.68 @89MPH

RUN3 14.81 @92mph finally sorted gear box



handling circuit only did 1 run cos it was too dangerous and did,nt want to ruin a good day out................................... in iornsight ..........

run 1

44.28 which was done with me backing off

 

how long before you had the polo because it will also be a week on friday and my cars not driver-bul thats what i ment by taking the p155 its going to be a nightmare travelling to and from work @81miles a day

 

I had the off on the Thursday night. Rang the Insurance company at 10 ish on the Friday and Alton cars rang me back 30 mins later to book it in. I could have taken it straight down if I'd been dressed or hadn't had to snap of some broken bits. I had it in to Alton cars at 12. I drove away in Polo after 30 mins booking my car in and telling them how i wanted it dealt with etc....

Stunning service.

The hard part was the wait for it to come back...

Seems like an age now and it's all forgotten. One of those things and something you shouldn't beat yourself up over...

 

to be honest im not that beat up over the car its only metal and thanks to the gear box issuse ive no real bond with it but in the same sence im heart brokern over the fact ive only ever wanted a scoob turbo and nothing else and now im without it again but the worst thing is that after 10 years of lusting after one I actually could live with a corrolla 1.4 as owning this one as been nothing but expensive trouble

don't get me wrong I love being a part of the WYIOC with all you like minded people its ace and the highlight of my week especialy the impromtu's and yesterday was fantastic

but now ive got at least 2 weeks with no car and a real chance that no one will insure me come dec; would you /2 major offs and 9 points hardley the client a company wants


the main thing im not beat up over the car itself just gutted that im having to do without it again so i may sell it when i get it back as it's not ment for me still i may buy one of those rare blue one's sticky told me about

 

Gutted for you mate, especially after you've wanted one so long.

My 'off' pales into insignificance compared to this, it's certainly another wake up call that although we've got great handling cars a bit of water can still really upset it - I know I've certainly a lot more respect for the elements now.

Hope everything works out as well as it can and I'm sure we'll still see you around
