/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif buckled wheel on bike...anything to do with?

 

[trekbiker]

It wasn't buckled before, all the bikes were fine.

something about the 20 year old bike shed though- attention to detail and all that....

 

[trekbiker]

The poor phots don't show it really. Anyway- this innocent bike shed and its contents were confronted by something Pearl black without any provocation whatsoever......

 

[trekbiker]

the bike shed has already been fixed..... his car hasn't. anyone want to see the pictures??

He went over the kerb first at i'm guessing about 40-50mph

this is one of his rear wheels

 

[jediknight]

ah thats why you want my mirrors... your gonna porn them to buy a nice cardboard box /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[trekbiker]

It is an S3, but the wheel is the least of his worries. Apart from damage to Crown property(the shed), his car took it from all angles by the /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burningmad.gifangry /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burningmad.gifbike /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burningmad.gifshed /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burningmad.gif

Looking at the center caps, I'd say that those wheels are replicas! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 

[trekbiker]

I think they are genuine as they look greyer than my replicas. more pics anyone??

 

[jediknight]

nah there replicas. the groove down the edge of each of the spokes only goes half way up.. OEM ones go all the way

more pics then...

 

[trekbiker]

Ouch

 

[trekbiker]

and the rear

 

[trekbiker]

and the last

 

[trekbiker]

my dilemma is simple................

I know him to talk to, but not that well.

how long do i leave it before asking him if he wants to sell me his silver leather

PS- It also has an AMD remap i think. perhaps he wished it didn't now. I reckon he's got about £5k of damage here! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

 

[jojo]

I noticed the silver leather too LOL, is he a user on here?

NOPE, DON'T THINK SO, OR ELSE HE WON'T BE HAPPY WITH ME!!

 

[nervus]

As soon as i saw that, i wondered how long it would take to ask about the silver leather, beat to it already /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I really dont get the whole silver leather thing, still its way better than the caramac leather in VW's!

 

[StevieBogan]

Ha, ha, poor git.

I bet you the last think he wants is his car posted on here with the reg no! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gif

He must've been going some to do that much damage to the rear of the car as well. Did he do a 360?

 

[jojo]

Trekbiker, was it the fatermath that you just see, or did you witness the whole thing?

 

[pazaz]

That leathers got your name written all over it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif

Im sure he/she will sell soon after its repaired, so move in quick and do a deal for a swap.

How did you get the pics and where was the driver?

the car is parked up going nowhere just a block away form me still in a compound!

 

[trekbiker]

any idea if they would be likely to write this off? Whats the current percentage repair to value figure that they work on? I think the engine has about 110k- how much would that sell for...any ideas?

It varies from company to company - the 'they' is a multitude of different companies with different underwriting philosophies.
