Today my Micra died. Or more to the point, I suppose I killed it. Nose on into the armco, after braking (too?) heavily and loosing control, as a car pulled out into the outside lane, that I though was clear all the way to the roundabout. ![](http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s262/markbognor/DSCF2400.jpg) ![](http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s262/markbognor/DSCF2401.jpg) ![](http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s262/markbognor/DSCF2402.jpg) So I need another car, preferably a pre-face K11 but anything with 4x100 would be fine with me. That cross member has been on the 'To do' list for a while. No need to worry about that now.

oh buggar, just you in it? What a shame that was coming along nicely. I suppose at least all the fun bits just bolt on. ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) will you be claiming that one?

Yeah, just me - all ok. No claim - I have the number of the car but I think it would be pretty futile to persue it. The cost of the premium rise would outweigh the payout pretty quickly.

If it's not your fault, then there will be no premium rise. At least that's how it worked when someone drove into us. Technically, as I'd pulled over and gotten out moments before the accident, the insurance put it down as the third party hit a parked car. Can't be blamed if I wasn't in it ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Oh no! Sorry to see that mate. Still, at least you're alright. As you say it's only bent metal. I really liked that car - do another! Better, stronger, faster, cooler! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Ah sh*t ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) one if my favourite cars gone... atleast one of my favourite posters hasn't though. As you say, despite the amount of time, love and effort we put in it is just a bit of metal at the end of it. So, a new Micra then? Seen these? This one, this one and this particularly tasty one.
