One Less CSL on the Road

[Great Pretender]

Well folks,

Some of you will know already, but my CSL was written off a couple of months back. It's been a hugely difficult time, but after some seven or eight weeks of unpleasantness, I finally breathed a sigh of relief today when the CSL payout popped into my account.

It wasn't a very straightforward case and it took a while for those concerned to meet their respective obligations to rectify the wrong that resulted in my P&J being laid to rest in someone's field.

Anyway, here she is. Take care out there people.

RIP Cecil :(

ouch but it could have been worse....

who blanked the reg? does it matter now

did something run out in front of you? the roads looks pretty straight. Dont answer if I missed a thread somewhere :clown:

[Great Pretender]

There was another car involved. Won't say too much, but two cars into one lane don't go, so I had to go somewhere else.

Anyway, I've accepted the offer to settle and that's the line drawn in the sand.

I blanked the number :)

Is a good job you havent got a supersprint or the vultures would be in by now.

Thats a big drop too so lucky the car stayed on its feet!

How long did you have it for?

[Great Pretender]

Had it for ten months or so.

It was the best car I've owned yet. Loved it to bits.

[Mark CSL]

Look on the bright side if you had not been on cups i dont think you would have got that far down the field :hahaha::hahaha::hahaha:

Good no 1 was hurt and there is always CSLs for sale :beer:

[Silver Bullet]

Sorry to see that fella, at least your still around

Poor Cecil...........all the best;)

[azrael]

Im sure it will find its way back on the road...

[shane@mbtech]

Im sure it will find its way back on the road...

Just what I was thinking;)

Some poor fucker will buy it, and the advert will read, "light panel damage", just like they all do:banghead:

[Great Pretender]

Well be rest assured folks, if it does find it's way back, I'll be sure to shout about it.

[mattCSLnut]

Real shame to see Cecil like this :bigcry::bigcry::bigcry: at least you're OK :thumbs:
Any plans for another CSL ? :whistle:

[TANKSLAPPER]

One thing a have noticed, these car are never involved in a rear end shunt.:bigcry:

Simon,
Like i said on the phone a few weeks back i'm gutted for you.
Glad it's all sorted out now and you can move on.
How's the move going?

[AlexGTT]

Really sorry to hear about this but glad you have the payout ok.

[derek]

sorry to hear about the car !

[LeinsCSL]

That's fairly crap alright, but at least you've got it sorted and are still around to tell the tale

[need4speed]

A sad sight; at least you walked away! Good luck mate.

[cslgirl]

Crikey, really sorry to hear this. Poor Cecil. Glad you are ok. Will you buy another?

[Yanto]

Ouch, never nice to see. Glad to hear no persons injured Simon - as precious as we are about motors, they are just lumps of metal (albeit mega ones !) at the end of the day.

[Bounce]

Sorry to see this,glad your ok;)

[Pip1968]

Always a shame to see a lovely car go that way but at least you seemed to have come out unscathed, physically at least. I take it you opted not to buy what was left as you could have had a nice garage sale.

Can I ask what the settlement figure was. I obviously understand if you do not want to say.

I was only reading yesterday about the CSL which was involved in a big pile up with a German GT3 RS on the Nordschleife. Was that anyone on here? It must have been a while ago now although settlement appears to have been recently completed. All the usual hassles of insurance cover for British cars on a 'toll road'.

[shimmy]

Wow, that's a big jump.:whistle:

Glad it's settled and you have a clean break.:thumbs:

[sailorbaz]

Oh shit Simon, that's not good at all. Sorry to see this, I'm sure you got a huge fright but I suppose whichever way it happened, you done the right thing and avoiding a head on. (Apologies if I'm reading the situation wrong)

Will you buy another?

[ando]

Sorry to see this mate, glad you walked away.

[whopwop]

Jesus that was a serious slap allright, lucky choppy that she didn't role on you.
I know exactly how you feel. I wrote off my last one after 34 hours of ownership ha ha, it was a minter, 8k on the clock. ( it ended back on the road )
I then bought one of the slightly slower grey ones.

[Rutkowski]

ouch - but i am glad you're ok. Metal can be replaced.

[DuncanR]

Sorry to see that Simon, glad you were ok, and pay out all sorted. Respect to you mate :supz:... for obviously not lifting:hahaha: judging by the distance travelled and the amount of hardcore you took out, Cecil went down screaming at 6000 rpm I hope ! Look forward to you getting back into one.

PipSaid person is on here, I will leave him to comment should he so desire.

[Great Pretender]

Cheers for the thoughts folks,

I'm going to hang fire for the time being as there are some grown up things to buy first.

I may well come back to the fold though; I still think the CSL is the best sub-£50k car money can currently buy.

[E46CSL]

Glad it all worked out well, and you are here & have the money to get back into a CSL.
