Yeah, what a waste of a 000 call. It's not like I was running down the street in the opposite direction! People die because wankers like him don't think about tying up lines with needless phone calls. No one was even slightly injured, no damage to cabins space, and not even one of god knows how many air bags (in the BMW) went off.
Everyone's a critic, but I don't think he can really pass judgement driving his $100,000 car like a taxi driver drives a 500,000km Ford. Yep, that Beemer got a mouth full off Datsun knuckles ;) I'm kinda glad that I've got an all metal body, cause I had a friend with a Datto with Fibreglass guards that had a similar accident a few years ago and the guard just popped off and the left inner guard crumpled all the way to the firewall, even compressed the p/s footwell 15cm or so. The metal guard didn't come off at any of the mounting bolts and probably saved damage going further back. Coppers said they'll call me later and probably charge me with something cause all these damn witness came off the street and even one out of a building to tell the coppers that I was hooning. I said to the cops, I wasn't speeding, maybe I chirped a bit off the line, maybe there was another chirp into second (like a couple of witnesses said) but I didn't exceed 60km/h. I also said that the witnesses qualified to judge speed like the police have to be training. But one copper pointed out that having 6 witnesses (at last count) all volunteering (everyone was walking home etc in North Sydney), they'd likely give me a ticket and if I wanted to take it to court, that'd be fine, and they'd call the witnesses. later, - Jeremy http://datto.tweakit.net -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Sandejas, Ignacio Sent: Thursday, 17 January 2002 9:40 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: To FLY-16H CRASH!!! :( Yeah I heard the Beemer guy say that he dialed 000 the moment he backed out of the 2nd lane of the Pacific Hwy and then begin to criticise your driving!!! I tell you what though you did a good job on the Beemer!!! Bits everywhere!!! What did the coppers say? Let us know how you go with it. -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Levartovsky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2002 9:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: To FLY-16H CRASH!!! :( Hey Iggy (guys), Yeah, mate I'm not very happy about it... That dude in the brand new BMW 530 pulled out from a side street, and stuck his nose in the 2nd lane, MY LANE!! It was a pretty hard hit, enough to rip his bumper off and smash it against my bonnet, p/s pillar next to the windscreen, take off the mirror, all while crumpling everything from the p/s headlights back to the strut tower. His nose (bumper, grill, lights, thermos, part of radiator) hooked it self just above the bumper and below the bonnet on the Datto just as I applied the brakes. He wasn't looking when he pulled out, so it's his fault as far as insurance goes. Although six eye witnesses (READ, DO GOODERS) claim I was speeding, but that should only mean I get a neg driving ticket or similar from the Cops, I can live with that. :) But I only just got the car engineered and Rego'd after a five year build-up 17 days ago, so I'm being quite restrained when I say, I'm a little upset about the damage. I reckon there could be $5-8K to my car, and I'm a little underqualified to estimate how much it'd cost too fix a $100K Beamer without a front end (lol). The Tow Truck driver said that even IF I was speeding it is still classified by insurance as his fault as he didn't negotiate the turn safely. Has anyone else had any similar experience with an accident that can calm my worries about mortgaging the Datto to pay for a BMW front end? Anyway, thanks for the words of kindness Iggy, I might end up coming out to the Sydney Datsun Club meeting this month, but it'll have to be in a Mazda :( cya l8r, - Jeremy http://datto.tweakit.net -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Sandejas, Ignacio Sent: Thursday, 17 January 2002 6:51 PM To: Ozdat (E-mail) Subject: To FLY-16H Jeremy (?) I was at North Sydney and saw your car and the Beemer. I however only heard it and didn't see it actually happen. I was going to say hello but thought the time was probably inappropriate. Anyway good luck with it. It really hurt to see your car like that. Ouch. :( Iggy Sandejas Sydney Aust Datsun 1600 FJ20t --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
