I dont post on here very often but have used the site over the time I've been a member to help keep my much loved puma on the road .
But it is with much sadness that I have to report that some dickhead crashed into my puma this mornig while it was sat outside my house and has writen her off .
she was hit hard enough to break the front wheel ,snap the steering rack end and the anti roll bar and bend the drive shaft ! as well as twisting the lower suspension arm and the bottom of the strut .
the wheel was pushed back that hard the A pillar is bent and now the bonnet no longer sits flat and the top edge of the passenger side door sits away from the roof
Now the real gutting thing is the asshole drove away !
how sick do I feel ? VERY is the reply .
in the last 3 years I have had her I have spent £400 on welding to Future Proof her , new suspension all round (1 1/2 years ago ), new front discs ,new battery (4 months ago) as well as a new clutch with the lifter a Full engine service including belts an water pump full exhaust including flexy pipe at the same time .(6months ago)
And right now I have, new rear hubs plus bearings and anti lock rings , hand brake adjusters ,plus new cables also a new petrol tank .all of which were to be fitted this weekend
my insurance say I will lose my no claims (30 years so much for PROTECTED NO CLAIMS) if I claim and they will give me buttons for her so what can I do but scrap her.
I might split her down if theres enough intreast so if you want anything drop me a line soon.
now before anyone says get another an swop the bits I'll say I would love to but new baby = lack of cash and the fact that theres no front wheel meaning I can't even move her.
Rant over .I will get another cause its one of the best cars I have ever driven (and in my job I get to drive loads of cars )but right now it ain't happening
I am so gutted I cant put it into words
so if anyone is after any parts let me know Pick up only from south liverpool
