You get all their details and any witnesses to the car being overloaded etc?? You shouldn't have to pay a cent for their stupidity

by **Fairmont888** » August 2nd, 2009, 10:37 am

i've got 2 witnesses that were in my car with me, was just so pissed off i grabbed her name and wrote down her rego, spoke to the cops they said just give the insurance company the rego and they will chase it up. if they don't i will go through other methods of tracking her down, she is supposedly going to ring me today.

was leaving a Hungry Jacks Carpark, a bitch in an overloaded kia (people in the boot meaning she couldn't see out the rear window) reversed straight back into me as i was driving out. pissed off doesn't quite cover how i was feeling, i'm pretty sure the 17 year old kids or whatever in the boot thought i was going to kill them all, and had a guy been driving the kia, i would have redecorated the piece of shit with his face

and well... what can ya do but have some fun with it i suppose

just keeping inline with the RM boys after something like this, it got some laughs so it's all good

by **Fairmont888** » August 2nd, 2009, 11:16 pm

just realised, that pic looks like i've done it on the computer, i'd just like to point out... it is actually written on the door :drinks2:

by **Fairmont888** » August 3rd, 2009, 7:02 pm

looks like the car won't be getting repaired for a while, insurance is claiming because i'm under 21 i owe them $950 upfront, and because the stupid bitch hit me on private property... the best ruling i will get is a 50/50 fault judgement

over the whole thing really, car will now sit in the garage under a car cover until i can be bothered looking at it again, don't see how it's fair that i should have to pay for someone elses bloody stupidity

by **OED666** » August 3rd, 2009, 7:21 pm

You should get the $950 back from insurance when the claim goes through. I fail to see why it could only be a 50/50 fault judgement. Its not rocket surgery, someone drove into your car, all by themselves, cuz they fail at driving. Do they have insurance? Get them to lodge a claim against their insurance. I had a similar situation when I got hit in the arse last year. Because we couldnt identify the 3rd person involved in the accident, my insurance wouldnt cover it. And they wanted some stupid amount upfront. I might investigate different insurance this week.

by **Fairmont888** » August 3rd, 2009, 7:27 pm

bitch refused to give me her details, hence why i took her rego, i will be going back to see the boys in blue sometime in the next couple of days to report her for the overloaded car she had and the refusal to give her details. insurance will only give me the $950 back if they can recoup it from her... which i'd say is doubtful

by **Bazza J** » August 3rd, 2009, 7:33 pm

thats shit man, i hate peope like that, good luck with the car

by **FOR.0EL** » August 3rd, 2009, 7:38 pm

i still think we go to her place, and put a photo of the damage to your car in her mailbox.. and your number on it.

that will freak her the **** out

hahaha thats the best idea.... people freaked when they find out u know where they live :lol:

by **Fairmont888** » August 3rd, 2009, 8:14 pm

well through various methods we did find out that she lives like 20 seconds away from me, next street over basically... just don't know which house

by **FOR.0EL** » August 3rd, 2009, 8:31 pm

do to her box what she done to your car

by **Fairmont888** » August 3rd, 2009, 9:09 pm

alright after a little bit of a whinge, motivation is back, paying for this is bullshit, so if i have to pay... well they can get stuffed. will now begin the search for a mint poly green door to fit it, no bloody kia will kill the sprint

fixed haha.
this is shithouse mate, but hopefully fairly easil fixed with a new door if ya can find one in decent nick. and try get cash out of the bitch.

btw id say her house might be the one with the red kia out front?

haha gl with it, mint car.

by **Fairmont888** » August 3rd, 2009, 10:07 pm

no red kia has been parked in the street, i think i can guess why

by **Malakai** » August 3rd, 2009, 10:15 pm

Just go to the police station and tell them that you want to report an accident and make a statement. Give them her rego details as part of the statement and they will contact her to make a statement too. She can't keep her details from the police. The police will decide who is at fault according to the statements of the parties involved and any witnesses if needed. Once that is done the police will give you a case number that the insurance company can look up on a database and get the details that they need.

I know this because I got rear ended while driving my first car, I tried to keep it civil and let the insurance companies handle it but the other party tried to claim that it was my fault by making a statement to the police to that effect. The police approached me for my statement and gave me the case number for my insurance company. They determined that I was not at fault and everything went through without a hitch from then on. After getting some quotes saying that it was uneconomical to repair I got a nice cheque in the mail for the market value of my car.

Yours will just get fixed since it is just a busted door of course.

by **OED666** » August 3rd, 2009, 10:19 pm

Dont get another door, as it wont have the same VIN number on it.

Do what Malakai said.

by **juiceman** » August 5th, 2009, 6:58 am

You got raped man. I was reversed in to by a car next to me in a private car park while waiting for a car a few parking spots up to reverse out when I was 18 and my insurance never made me pay anything, the other person wasn't even insured. That sucks the big one.

by **Dumpsta** » August 5th, 2009, 6:29 pm

Sucks mate.. as for not knowing which house she lives in, just put one in every letterbox in the street... sif they're gunna show one another anyhow, though living in the next street could be a bit hazardous. Could always just drive up and down the street looking for the kia... and just park outside her house and eat doughnuts.

by **ELXR_96** » August 7th, 2009, 1:28 pm

lol the donut idea is the best. I got rear ended in my el not long after i brought it by a VE SS and i never paid a cent. My local repairer claimed half the rear end was destroyed and got himself like $600 from there insurance from a $250 job lol.

by **Fairmont888** » August 7th, 2009, 6:01 pm

sick of being stuffed around, so slight progress has been made. problem should be solved by monday night

door minus the mould

the sprint mould sitting in my room, most of the marks have come off after a quick polish, will get a proper polish tomorrow, has pretty much become flat again since being taken off :drinks2:

by **Fairmont888** » August 10th, 2009, 5:33 pm

that is all :drinks2:

by **LUXO_8** » August 10th, 2009, 5:48 pm

nice!

by **Bazza J** » August 10th, 2009, 5:52 pm

by **ELXR_96** » August 10th, 2009, 7:55 pm

by **OED666** » August 10th, 2009, 8:23 pm

looking good homo!

by **Dumpsta** » August 10th, 2009, 8:28 pm

So what was the end result..? Repairs coming out of your own pocket?

by **Fairmont888** » August 10th, 2009, 8:34 pm

yep, was a new door either way, the intrusion protection bar in the door is bent so it's not repairable, so making the best of a shit situation, bought the new door and my uncle changed it all over while i was at work today. saved about $600 this way

by **M1CH437** » August 11th, 2009, 1:20 pm

Is there anything to indicate that it's not the original door? Like vin numbers or something on it?
So when it comes time if you ever need to sell it.

by **Fairmont888** » August 11th, 2009, 5:23 pm

yes there is, sticker on the door has the wrong vin number on it, unfortunately there is nothing i can do about it, except keep the original door and if i ever sell the car show the buyer that the original door couldn't have been fixed

by **nommic** » August 11th, 2009, 8:48 pm

Who is going to give a shit about where the door came from? We're not talking about a Ferrari 250 GTO here...

by **ELXR_96** » August 11th, 2009, 9:05 pm

lol true i have never heard of any problem like that..

by **FOR.0EL** » August 12th, 2009, 8:00 am

as far as all of us no, thats the original door from factory

i wont tell if you wont

by **Fairmont888** » August 15th, 2009, 12:00 pm

those pics don't do the new wheels justice (better ones to come soon), they look awesome in person, i couldn't be happier, the sprint rims will not be going back on
