Woke up to a bang this morning
No brakes at all

Damn drunk drivers in stolen cars 😬

Shunted the vanagon about 20m into another car

DieHard1963Fan ·

😠 Not good mate, hope the bastard gets the book thrown at him.
Is there definitely no chance of repairing the bus?

-Chris

Beerboy ·

Sorry to hear that, I had that happen to my 71 kombi a good few years ago, he managed to move that hell of a way. How bad is the front? back looks fine. hope you get it sorted

Nickster ·

Is that a Tiguan? Was expecting a Holden or something similar. Kinda sad to see a Vw crash into another Vw 🙁

Hope you get it sorted and back on the road.

Bizarre ·

Yeah - VW to VW
Tiguan is only about a year old.

Too much for my son (or me) to repair

Motor is fine - gear box is gone
The whole front driver area is shot. Popped the wind screen.
Good for parts - that is about it.

Bloody brand new south african dual head light grille as well

wheels look fine! 😀 Bummer mate that sucks i hope they get the bastard as i hope they get the ass holes that did my garage over last week 😠

Doug Sweetman ·

What a bastard - commiserations mate, nothing worse...

Beerboy ·

what happened to the box? damaged in the accident? thats a real shame

vw54 ·

havent you got insurance ???

sander288 ·

😠😠😠😠

bugzla ·

i dont think insurance is the point you still have to put the claim in and it will cost you no matter what

Bizarre ·

Third Party Property only

Since it is a stolen car I can claim against that.
I will just have to argue the toss over what it is worth

It was an auto. It was in park when it got hit
Reverse seems OK but nothing happens with forward gears

Hopefully my son can get a couple of grand insurance and possession of the car.
Too many good bits to see it trashed at Sims or something

Had only just put new rubber on the wheels as well
On mag has been smashed into the gutter and ground against the curb for 20m.
Luckily I have a spare wheel. They are 17" Fuch copies.

At least the wind screen has just come out in one piece

Hi Baz

Bad luck, I just looked into 3rd party with my sons Skyline, just about the same price as comprehensive.

The T3 held up pretty well in the end.

not good barry.
hope its all comes out in the end.

Special Air Service ·

Sorry to see this Barry, another good van gone by the looks.

AA003 ·

Unfortunately you will probably only get a market value if anything. Maybe about $2k.

If you get anything at all out of the bogan. He probably doesn't own anything or have a job.

Third party insurance should be compulsary, even if the driver is pissed the insurance company should have to pay up.👎

Special Air Service ·

throw the stock rims back on if you have em.

Ill take the wbx!

AA003 ·

Just don't let the insurance company take the car until you have reached an agreement. Once it's gone, so is the bargaining.

XXX-1.8T ·

sorry to hear Baz 🙁

waltermitty ·

Sad sight Barry.
I hope you find some sort of result and some good out of it in the end

Seems like insurance is changing their mind and I can't claim on their insurance. There "may" be able chance I can do a UMD claim on my 3rd party.

Says on my policy I can claim up to $5k for an update insured driver

Anyone had experience with this?

Craig Torrens ·

that doesn't sound right, why can't you claim ?

AA003 ·

Craig Torrens wrote:that doesn't sound right, why can't you claim ?
Because the owner of the insurance did not give permission to the driver to take the car.

Because the driver was pissed.

Does the driver have a job or anything of value? Although the Tiquan's insurance company will have first bite of the cherry.

Bizarre ·

The gimp that was driving is an oxygen thief

NRMA is now changing their story

Why would they have given me the claim number if I wasn't allowed to claim.
Oh sorry sir - that was a mistake. They were not allowed to do that

I'm not pissed off….… yet

But I think I am going to be.

AA003 ·

Put the claim in anyway.
Maybe you can bluff your way through it.

The NRMA gimp is probably an oxygen thief also.

I've had trouble before. Don't give up!

Be careful of assault.

bajachris88 ·

If the thief has no assets, you could always sell off his organs 😬

Or just remove them until he pays up.

I'd like to know how he stole the VW?????????

You can't just hotwire them.
Maybe you should speak to the Police as there may be something dodgy here.

turboty ·

the other cars insurance should pay... upto 20mil in property damages.. no matter who is driving!!

BTW shotgun the wheels!!

Quite scary really
He broke into the house and walked past the sleeping grand dad. There was a 3 month old in the house as well
I believe the car owners were out

They took the hand bag and keys.
took the garage door off its track and drove off

yes - I believe them
No way were they associated with this numb nuts.

Most people keep their keys in an easy to find place once you are inside the house.

The fact numb nuts was walking around inside while adults and babies were sleeping is just scary

ian.mezz ·

that's how they got Nathan Tinkler car.
It happens all the time.
Lots of people don't lock their car in the garage.

AA003 ·

Organ removal required then.
