  1. Just done nearly a 600 mile round trip today, Heathrow and back. First long run I have had in my SS11. What a pleasure to drive, it didn't,t miss a beat. Didn,t really put my foot down, just a nice steady plod, power was there when i needed it though...about £70 in fuel.....not bad at all I thought.

    Oh and we're are all the Celica,s gone........... Only saw one all day and that was on the way back. Gen 5 Grey L100...

  2. 'Send it to the test station where it was originaly tested' How the feck are you supposed to know that! :o And of course it costs :angry: ...though the page that tells you how much convienientley does not exist! Sod it, I'll just claim ignorance if ever asked, I bet 90 odd percent of people who own imported cars have no idea about this. Thinking about it my Bike is also an Import, but there is a certificate of some sort in amongst its paperwork that was issued at time of import.

    Even if you had this stuff though who really carries it around in the car :blink: I perposly keep NO paperwok in the car on the basis that if it got stolen your going to need it all to proove ownership etc!

    This is what I wondered as I also have no such cert.....I will also plead ignorance......lol

  3. Shit,that sucks mate. :( Had a similar dint in GT a few years back when a 4x4 backed out in full lock in tescos car park(wanker did one,no note).Local body shop repaired it and made a really good job,you cant tell there was a dint there!Cost me £250 though :angry:

    Cheers bud, had arranged with my son to come round today and put that boot and spoiler that you gave me as well ,who did you use fore your bodywork ?.......

  4. Bad news that mate,accidents happen but it's infuriating when they do a runner. Have any of your neighbours got CCTV,might be worth asking round to see if they have picked anything up.

    Hi Bob, unfortunatly no cctv coverage of any sort in this area........ :(

    Yup ... re reading my post I nominate myself for douchebag of the day :D

    I meant that he will have to pay his excess.

    Not forgetting the premium increase.

    My NCB is protected but my excess is £300 so im gonna shop around for quotes......

    will keep you updated........................thanks for all kind replys..... :)

  5. Hate seeing threads like this!! :(

    Same but unfortunately were seeing a lot of them :( I'd hate to think of this happening to my car.

    Gutted for ya mate.

    sorry to here this :( people just dont give a monkey about doing damage to others cars it winds me up big style !!!!!!!! hope you get it sorted quickly mate

    Thanks for the comments guys/ gals..... Gonna see what quotes I can get at local places for repair.......

    Cat D means the car has been in a minor accident and has had repairs.

    Cheers Ben....

  6. It can be repaired. Shouldn't be more than £350. Done properly you wouldn't notice it had a dent. Request it to be pushed out rather than pulled out. Don't like holes drilled n pulled. If you are protected you shouldn't loose any no claim and it shouldn't go up. But might aswell repair it without through insurance. They'll cat. D it aswell.

    That's good to know, I have no claims protection....what does cat d mean ?

  7. Thats not a car bumper damage, more like the back of a truck or even a trailer.

    Yeh that's what I thought as damage is high, checked the only white transit down our street this mornin, nothing.....

    What gets my goat the most as I have only put my new wheels on 2 days ago...........

    Is it just the wing that's knackered then can't see tell really as on my phone.

    That's crap matey sorry

    It's the rear panel between door and wheel Steve, don't know if it can be replaced/repaired......
