Thanks Jude. Fortunately with organ donation they don't expect the deceased's parents to harvest the organs and then list them on eBay!

Looks like a pretty solid impact too, how fast did he hit you? Also good to see the airbags weren't required...those things triggering really screw you up.

It felt pretty solid, but the panel guys are saying it looks a lot worse than it is.

I was at about 80kmph and I reckon he was doing about 30kmph when he hit me.

I thought that if the insurance company writes the vehicle off they always keep it?

No insurance companies will always deal.

Heard from the insurance company on Friday - it's going to be a total loss. They are now in the process of getting in touch with the other parties insurance and sorting out a settlement - hopefully it's half decent!

Ducked out to the repairers on yesterdays and the boys helped pull the tyres off and the spoiler for Chocolove. The 993 is prematurely getting some fresh rubber!

Heh heh heh.
You know, I have been trying to organise one since last year. The wife was going to get it for me for my birthday when she lost her job and then we were forced out of our place and into the home owner's market, thus using all of our savings.
Now with new job stress no savings and a mortgage, surely you won't begrudge the Batmobile this one little grace.

Now I am trying to organise a courier to Melb.
