Somebody pulled out in front of me from a parallel park in a residential street.
Somehow I lost the insurance case because the only person who saw the accident was somebody I met the day prior to the accident at work (not 'independent' anymore) and apparently you can pull into a parallel park and still have right of way on the main thoroughfare section of the road because you haven't become 100% stationary.

New bumper, new guard, new indicator, scratched rim etc. 'Equal fault'. Bloody AAMI.

^^^ see thats f00kd

i had a similar incident and my car was written off - i ran a amber and the other car ran the red, i was found at fault because i had time to stop the car and not run the amber - also didn't help that i was a P-Plater in a Turbod N12 Exa LOL

grrr.... don't get me started on AAMI...

I had a ding last year - yes I admit it was my fault - I was changing lanes while coming up to a red light (didn't have indicator on) and a BMW X5 accelerated right up belong side me (I heard him revving it) and as I moved over his back wheel basically nudged my front mudguard. No serious damage - 2 slight dents on guard, a scratched hub cap (had stock steelies back then lol) and a knick on my mirror smaller than my thumbnail; which I saw her wiping off my white paint off her car with her hand and would have come off with cut/polish easily. This was my damage below and would you believe they claimed for $3,000 damage! He ordered new aluminium side steps and everything and all approved by yep... AAMI. Enough said.

because he is a BMW driver everything on Euros is expensive

i work for VW & Peugeot and they are the hardest people to deal with - but on occassion you'll get someone who ahs just upgraded fro like a toyota or honda and they aren't a phased with the little things

Oh well... live and learn I guess!

Looks like im selling up and upgrading to a 2000 - 2005 VW bora

so how much do you THINK I CAN GET FOR MY CIVIC?

no idea about the civic worth, but you should be looking for a old school Passat W8...... Soooo cool

nah cost is a factor and considering i can get a decent Bora under 100 thou with leather sunroof and all the other nice things as apposed to one of those passats that 9/10 have just haven't been looked after

VW are the kinda car you ahve to serivce and maintain 100% no ifs or buts and since i work for VW/Peugeot/Skoda i think its time i ventured into the euro scene - although i really like the look of a accord euro coupe heheh (maybe 2-3 yrs time i'll get that) :)

very true. trying to convince the missus for her next car to head Euro. going for a R36 or perhaps a second hand 335 four door BM.

get the R36 if youi have that kinda money the R36 would be my choice hands down, make sure you get the wagon as they look alot better than the sedan
