Recommended Posts

Ive only owned the car for 1 week and it was parked on the street and a 4 tonne truck reversed straight into it and drove off ... lucky i had 2 witnesses who let me know the guys details .. so frustrating cause the car was DEAD straight before !!

hopefully this guy doesnt screw me round and i get it sorted asap , i went and got a quote today from a local smash repairer and it was $1300

Ouch!! I hate so much when that happens :D even to other ppl's cars. Anyone who can't do reverse parking (trucks, cars, scooters...) should get their license taken off. I got the creep everytime there are parking spaces infront or behind my car. And most of the time ppl bump into someone's car just drive off !! Sorry to hear about the car dude. It's likely the truck belongs to a company so hopefully insurance will work out easier. Happened to a mate at work so he rang up the company and threatened them he's gonna ask cops to pay them a visit or take legal actions,... That company got freaked out and settled it within 2 weeks

What an ass! Doing the runner! =-o

Report it to your insurance company ASAP, with the details that you have. If you have full comp, they will be able to help you out a great deal. If he fails to recognise his fault, you can lodge a damaged property claim with the police.

I had to do this for my sister, who was in the same situation. Asian lady in an excel backed into her car and drove off. Police were nice enough to pay her a visit. =-]

Dude, GET INSURANCE.

Even 3rd party.

your insurance company would take care of everything even getting the money off him.

You are mad id you don't get insurance, and not to put too fine a point on it, I hate to be on the road with people who don't have insurance, because if you crash into me, I'll throw the book at you, and you'll be paying for my car, and you'll be driving a push bike.

Seriously dude, get some insurance.

BASS OUT

3rd party insurance won't help you when you are in an accident with someone else and its thier fault usualy. You need full comp for them to chase this - they only do it then because they would have to pay it themselves if they didn't chace the other person. 3rd party they don't care, not thier problem.

Still agree with you tho - should have 3rd party at least incase you smash into a 200k bmw or merc :rant:

i dont have any insurance but that shouldnt matter... called his insurance tonight they said they will try and sort it out for me

Get Insurance !!!!!

Seriously - if you have a GT-R you should have insurance, for your sake and for everyone else's

You'll sleep easier too :rant:

If you can't afford it - then ask yourself why you are owning a GT-R in the first place.

ferni.

I think you'll find that most 3rd party insurers have a "no fault, no claim" assistance thing where they will make sure to get the money off the other person.

They make money from doing this so it's in their interest.

Usually they will ask you to use one of their authorised repairers and it's all then sorted out.

    • The best part of my setup is, we only have two sites. Our head office where I'd put every thing has plenty of internet capacity. We're on a 200/200 dedicated fibre. Even better, there's only like 6 people in the office at most, and the other office has 2 people in it (likely 3 soon). The majority of our work is in a custom piece of software, as it is part of the backend of the system we provide to customers. For our arrangement, on prem would be wayyyyy easier, and a VPN tunnel site to site is easy for me to manage. Scaled at many many sites, or quite a few hundred employees it's starts getting a bit different for all people outside the head office. However, everything in the cloud becomes worse for the people who operated previously at the site that held the servers, as now they're at the mercy of their internet, and not GBPS internal network (f**k the idiots who hook a desktop PC up on WiFi or permanently sit at a desk using a laptop and don't go remotely with it).   It really does come down to the business needs and structure as to what is best. For us, 365 is mainly being moved to for office apps, moving email from Google to Exchange, and setting up "Active directory". Otherwise we have a ticketing system with support that runs on our own cloud system, or the sales process sits in a CRM we pay for. My biggest push back for having most of the shit turned off and saying no when people want new shiney things is "that won't meet our security requirements, or efficiency gains, so all you're requesting is money spend to open us up to security issues, or to make our staff less efficient" Which is funny when one of our core values is "To do more, with less"
    • Think of it as a fancy iFrame with the auth passed through to PowerBI as you're already authenticated logged into Teams   I'm the complete opposite, I hate everything on Prem, it's slow as shit, you need VPNs to get anything happening, then when you want on-prem DBs to talk to say PowerBI you need to install/setup data gateways to essentially VPN back into your SQL instance. I suppose from my perspective, on-prem sucks, but from an infrastructure perspective, your environment is somewhat air gapped to the web via your firewall(s), etc.   The curse of knowledge, the more you know the more you suffer. Farken philosophical shit.

    • Wherever you ask them to. I had one added to the crossover pipe near the BOV as well as the hot and cold sides of the intercooler piping to provide greatest flexibility in measuring temperatures post-turbo. I have the IAT installed in one, and bungs in the other two.
