its been a while since i posted on this forum due to me losing faith in vw's because my old golf pictured in my signature had lots of engine problems and was doing my head in so i found that ...joe was selling his golf and as most of you will know it was a lovely car so i decided to buy it and i was going to add my own flare to it which i started to do as you can see from the pictures below,

I purchased some WRD mesh which where 15x8 on the fronts and 15x8.5s on the rears fully polished and imo looked awesome. i bought a nice stereo and i was going to get joe "trimedeluxe" nut to trim me some recaros in a dark red leather.
anyway that was then and this is what happened next,
I slept round my girlfriends house and parked my car outside on the main road causing no obstruction to anyone or anything, i fell asleep on the sofa and 4 o clock in the morning came round with my girlfriend shouting at me to wake up because someone had crashed into my car i immediately awoke to hear my alarm screaming, i jumpted up and ran outside to find my car in the middle of the road with a chaved up blue peugeot 206 20 metres down the road on its roof.
i went round to the passenger side of my car at which point i fell to my knees to find this had happened,

these pictures where taken a couple of days after the accident as it was to dark to get any at the time and i was to distraught anyway. i havnt been able to put pictures of the drivers side up which is also f**ked because the fuel tank came through and put some rather large dents in it.
it gets better lol, the driver of the blue 206 managed to get out of his car before i got outside and ran off down the road, there where 5 police cars looking for him but because they are incompetant they didnt manage it. And futhermore he was UNINSURED and to cut a long story short i was only third party fire and theft due to my policy ending on the 1/9/08 when i was going to get an agreed valuation done on my car and change insurance companies sods law ay. so at the moment im struggling to get any money back from anyone i am trying the MIB which should give me some cash but im not counting on it and the kid that did it still hasnt been caught by the old bill.
what an awesome couple of weeks :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I heard Joe saying it had been written off, didn't expect that though.
I won't say anything to try and make you feel better as i can't imagine anything but "we've caught the prick" would make it any better right now!
-
Gutted to hear that Adam.
Have a beer, it sounds like you deserve it.
-
Holy sh!t. Hope they catch the prick that done that mate.
-
corrr you deff took one for the team there!! sorry to here it mate!! he must of been going some speed to do that!!
-
I know how you feel man, exept some prick nitromors 4 cars in my girlfriend street and mine was one of them.
"ma hunny, were's the shotgun" :evil:
-
Really sorry M8!!!
Don't give up with the MIB cos I was hit by an un-insured driver in 2003 and same thing police were sh!te, I found out that the car was bought from the local scrappy and I found out who bought it and where they lived etc... still, not enough evidence to prosecute as the car was registered to a woman who didn't even have a licence let alone any tax or insurance and it was a guy driving at the time. Anyway to cut a veeerrrrrrryyyyy long story as short as I can, the MIB were cr@p because I never heard anything from them I just had to keep pestering them and I think they got fed up with me in the end and i got some money. They took £300 of what they had given me though as their "fee"???

If you find this arsehole, put a balaclava on so you are not recognised, then go rip his fcuking head off! People with no insurance should be strung up by the balls. Lucky it was only your car, although I feel your loss. It could have been a kid!
-
Gutted for you mate, I'd be well pissed :angry:
-
gutted feel for you man, thats, terrible little pikey thingy :sad:
-
Bet he's some rich c**t who then told his parents his car had been nicked - might be worth checking if you can find that out. Then go visit him with my mate Trevor the Trolleyjack Handle and Walter the Wheelbrace...
I feel your pain - some 4rsewipe once jumped on my Mini's roof one night. Didn't help that I was ill at the time and wouldn't have had the energy to do anything if I'd been able to catch him. B'stards :angry:
-
very gutted to have heard this.... i saw the golf a few times in adams hands and it always looked mint, so i knew he would have looked after it.
bit of a weird feeling for me seeing as i had the car almost 8 years and built it from scratch with my own hands... to this....
-
That is aweful, was always one of my fave MKII's of all time and terrible to see it come to such a sad end at the hands of twit in a pug.

Sh1t. Bad news, all that time,money and effort on both of your parts too.
Uninsured arseh0le chavs. People should take their social responsibility seriously.
-

-
Real sorry to hear that mate, your car was absolutely stunning. Hope they catch the little f*cker.
-
Sorry to hear about that.
A sad end to a great Mk2.
Hope you can get something back for it.
-

-
gutted for you mate, that was a sweet looking mk2 :sad:
-
ah...that was a cracking mk2 and inspired me back when i had a mk2!
-

Fecking hell Adam, absolutley gutted for you. I loved that car, joe done so much to it, I remember first seeing it at WRC rolling road day when it was going through some changes.
Hope the little runt dies...........................................................
-
gutted for you mate. thats w*#k
-
Adam...
i am lost for words.
Joe told me about this, but i couldn't bring myself to look at the pics.
I truly hope you get some justice on this one.
that was an awesome car which was set for a new look and direction, that choice of rim was amazing.
am completely gutted for you and for that awesome car.
R.I.P G705CHD

Gutted for you mate, hope you manage to get something back (pug drivers head on a plate maybe) that was an awesome car.
-
cheers for the comments chaps,
just a quick update, the MIB came out and evaluated my car they have informed me that it is a catagory B write off which means it will never be allowed back on the road so your right tom "RIP C705 CHD" :cry: also they have told me that my car is worth £1000 minus there fee of £300 minus what it cost me to get it out the compound which was also £300 so i am looking to get back £400 which is less than what 1 of my wheels is worth new lol so obviously i have said they can shove that up there arses and im going to have to fight my case to get more money, i have reciepts and invoices to say how much all the stuff is and i managed to get in touch with venom motorsport who are the only people i know who can get hold of WRD mesh and to supply a set like mine new will cost £2950 which is crazy.
fingers crossed now, will keep you updated
-
Best of luck mate!
-
yeah ^^ as above hope you get all sorted soon.
