Thats Westonzoyland, I was a bit further towards Yeovil than that!

Oooooo, bird.......NEVER swerve for animals or children!! ;)
Glad you're ok!
-
hope u get better soon :o
Stacked mine just as bad. (see gallery)
didnt tell the insurance :-X
Is your engine pushed back? If its not then you might get away with fitting new front end panels like I did?
-
I'd try and fix that if I was you. All depends on other damage and if you want to.
Flattening rabbits is easy. anything bigger and think twice about it. Also dependant on how low your car is. ;D
glad you're ok.
send it into revs or redline. you could win some wheels.
-
dizzie is the master of roadkill!!! lol, what was it?? a deer?? lol ;D
-
oh yes i remember that
yes it was a dear - i think it ran into the side of the car
-

Its pretty much beyond repair, the assessor is comig to tomorrow to probably give me an insulting price, but not to worry, My other half has just taken off all the good bits and replaced them with standard stuff!
Sorry hun, the rear splitter was ripped off when they pulled the car out of the ditch, tho I do have the crystal rears, one crystal headlamp, strut brace, induction kit and the full jetex system ;D
-
if it's a ebiach struct brace I'll have it :)
-
Sorry hun its not, but all bits will be advertised in the next week, probably wont have another MK2, so have plenty of spares to sell on ;D
-
I would have run over the rabbit :P but nice to hear you are ok i would be in tears :'(
-
thats a bit nasty in it . bastid creatures . right pains in the front bumper aint they!? . glad that your o.k. . like you said its only a car and you got another one eh . take care now ;)
-
At least your ok, So whats the next car for you then?
How much for the Strat Brace?? Ill defintally be interested in taking that off your hands ;D
-
Well the assessor came this morning, and actually asked me how much I thought it was worth :o He said he was going to have trouble valuing it because it was obviously in mint condition (before the crash), both inside and out, and for its age, so I quickly got in there and showed him the cars for sale in the Golf and PVW mags, and showed him my up to date FSH ;D
He then said he was going to go home, and do some research on the net, so I pointed him in the direction of Clubgti classifieds, as I dont think theres any MK2's on there less than 2k ;) He said he would fax over his valuation to the office this afternoon...yayy
Anyway after me thinking my insurance on another GTI would by sky high, I have just rung my insurance co. who said that anything from H and before would be less than 300.00 FC ;D ;D ;D
So I may not be selling anything after all ::)
-
yay way to beat them vultures.. lmao ;)
good luck :-*
-
Thanx hun ;D
I dont take any nonsense from Insurance companies, been there before when I was younger......Oh and I forgot to say, we got chatting and he had owned a MK2 GTI before, and was a fan, so I mentioned this site, and also Dubchicks, had to really cos i had Dubchicks stickers in the car :D
-
Good news then.
So you can go shopping for a shiny new car :)
Shame on you vultures.
-
SPANK, just think, that rabit has probaly died of mixy since any way :(
Glad your ok, glad your gettin another mk2 too ;D
-
Glad ur ok missdubluv! :-\ ;D
Dinky :-*
-
glad to hear you r ok. tho whiplash is a b!tch - i just recovering from that after a silly cow in a clio rear ended me last week. get one of those vibrating infra red heat lamp things - they really good for the pain. i borrowed my mate's and her husband walked in and said to my hubby 'why is your wife sat on my sofa using a vibro?' i was using it on my neck tho, honest! thats men for u ;D take care x
-
rear ended, hot vibrators, husband walked in ????? sounds like a film i saw once lol ;D ;D ;D ;D

d00d a rabbit !!! u nutter ! but hey man what a mess ! hope u is o.k
but hey dont follow the white rabbit cause theres normally a tree at the end :P
-
Well I got an offer from the Insurance company today....?1650.00 plus I get to keep the car...oh and it was a Cat C write off, whatever that means ???
-
ohh waw, and u keep the car!
-
Yep, and its already stripped down ;D
-
;D
-
Now the question is, what do I replace it with, but bearing in mind I only wanna spend 1k, cos the rest is going on the MK1 :)
-
well if u want to reuse bits.. another mk2?
-
Yeah Im fine, just got whiplash and some lovely bruises ;D

Can i give you some advice please, for the future of course?
HIT THE RABBIT
Glad your okay. Just remember next time, you'll feel bad for hitting the lil'fella, but not as bad as trashing the car.
Tin
-
I only paid ?1000 for my mk2 ;D
-
bit of filler, coupel of hours in a jig, itll be alrite. never mind duk. sh*t happens, has to me a few times. ;) hope ya bruises have gone x x
-
my mk2 lol!!! ;D ;D
-
:) Am selling my '88 5 door in black with F/S/H and all mot's,used every day for ?395:00 (yes i know it's got 2 many doors) but cheap wheels.Will have a fresh mot and is taxed for 11 months but the later is negotiable..................would have been after the M3 rears but no doubt you will want them for the next one.Also got a cheaper Jetta on a G plate......................... ;)
-
Moonsta hun, Im just gonna have to call you Arthur Daly from now on :D You trying to top up the crap NHS salary or something ;)
-
missdubluv,
Cost me under ?200 to get my car fixed from a similar smash to yours :)
Is your engine pushed back?
-
Well put it this way, bothe chassis rails are bent, subframe is bent, complete front end smashed to pieces incuding dizzy, starter motor, power steering pump, radiator.........thats not incuding any of the panels and front bumper, so I should think it would cost a bit more than ?200 ;)
-
a new mk2 it is then ;)
selling the good engine parts? :-*
-
think if you were to look closely the innner wings and chassis rails are fooked, subframe will be fooked, will be beyond economical repair im afraid!!!!, all this talk of jiggin and filler is how bad cars manage to get on the road!!! if its fooked its fooked let it rust in peace!!! ::) ::)
-
Icant really decide what I want to be honest, I love my MK2's, but Im kinda being swayed towards a jetta, But I think Im going for cheap and cheerful, and then getting my arse into gear and spending some money on the MK1 ;D
As for the engine parts, the idle control valve is definately coming off, plus the head, cos I just had the valstone seals changed and the head decoked, it was rolling roaded straight after and it made a huge difference to its performance ;D
-
Yeah Kniterider, the car is definately fooked ;D
-
Christ almighty.... :o.. Glad 2 C UR ok...Next time flatten the feckin bunny...
Take care girl...... ;)
-
Ive been looking into a Mk3 jetta for a while now 2, I like em a lot ;D any clue on the performance of those?
