Gosh John,
Terribly sorry to hear of your loss. Your car may be totaled but its
probably repairable. And in case it's not you can now buy at half the price
from about a year ago.
A loss of a loved car by accident not your fault is hard to take.
Good luck the next time.
Shin

Hi everyone,

Stopped at a traffic light today, the clown behind me did`nt ! As one would
expect, the Kia was approx two feet shorter after the coming together and in
lots of little pieces all over the place, my SEC had a slightly remodelled
bumper and a couple of small dents in the rear panel, problems grew on
opening the boot (trunk) which fouled the rear windscreen trim and revealed
my spare wheel sitting approx six inches higher than usual ! I`ll have to
take the car for a repair estimate tomorrow or friday, however as big, old
V8s are now officially all worth 38p ( 52 cents US ), I`m pretty sure she`ll
be written off. I`m beginning to see a slightly worrying pattern emerging
vis my ownership of Mercs :

 

 August 2001- Drove my first SEC (420) into a tree, tree survived, car
did`nt, I was fine.

September 11 2001- bought my second SEC, while driving it home "we interrupt
this program with terrible news from NY", never really liked the car after
that.

Mid 2003- bought third SEC (really liked that one :-)

Mid 2004- bought fourth SEC to take to pieces (to see how they`re put
together)

Mid 2004- exchanged SEC#2 with Chaz Wells for a purple 500SL R129 (quite
liked that)

2005-2006- supercharged, painted, birds-eye mapled etc. etc. SEC#3 (now love
it :-)

May 2007- SL crashed into by a Vauxhall (GM) and written off, (later spotted
on Ebay !)

Jan 2009- SEC#3 crashed into by a nasty, feeble, inadequate Kia of all
things !!

 

It seems all the ones I like get destroyed :-(

Perhaps it`s time for me to buy myself a Volvo in their most appealing shade
of babyshit beige ?

 

Yours in great grumpiness,

John
