That sucks.

Some idiot turned left in front of me the other day. I'm totally Fred Flinstoning the brake pedal through the floorboard, because of course he froze when he saw me, and came to a dead stop sideways right in front of me. I barely came to a stop without hitting him. Certainly an unwanted test of the ABS system.

Didn't you mention your neck was sore? j/k

Hope it all works out for you.

Yeah, I wish I could try on the neck routine, but I was sitting in my office when it happened, at least the guy had the decency to stop and find out who owned the car. He could have bailed but was a very straight up guy, just a shame he can't drive......

Davinder, assuming your car had original paint, you need to be compensated for diminished value.

Default Some after pics.....looks nice!

New rear panel installed. Thankfully, I did not have to replace the rear lock carrier or the rear floor leaving me money to have front repainted while it was in the shop. Black matches perfectly. Independant body and paint in Houston do a fantastic job!

Looks nice Davinder!

Here is what I did when I got hit in my 924. Got estimates of repair, which were 6,000. Ask for the cheque, then parted out the car. Made a nice penny on it.

Now you have a nice sparkly car to sell before you move to Perth!

Thanks guys.


Andrew, I think at this point, it will be coming with me to Perth!

I have someone in Perth who is helping me with importing, hopefully it will all work out as I would just hate to sell it out becuase I had no other option.

However, if someone in the US made me an offer I could not refuse I might be persuaded to part with it and forego the hassle of getting it over there.

I have already been hitting ebay with a bunch of smaller stuff but with the big stuff, shipping gets to be too much of a PITA.

Most comapnies have a relocation allowance dont you get that? If not, say you want it...

If you find the water injection kit is just too much of a pain to store... you have emai
