    Default NSX motoring incidents that WILL need a rebuild.😩

    I just spotted this news post today showing one of our beautiful NSX's getting a serious front end smash somewhere in the states and giving back almost as good as it got to a 4x4.

    Check out the dash cam video recording and don't worry it's not too horrific.

    Definitely repairable I think.

    everything is repairable, it just depends who's paying.....

    insurance do seem to be tight (censored) (censored) (more censored) when it comes to a mutually agreeable settlement.... just saying!!!!


    (if you are unaware, i'm currently experiencing some insurance based issues with Sarah's Cube! i say 'issues', more like 'dealing with incompetent morons'!)

    '92 charlotte green auto.... as a daily
    '37 Ford Y street rod......... something for the weekend!

    Although everything is repairable I certainly wouldn't want to pick one out of this lot:

    Hi Jonathon,

    I still haven't got a settlement on mine over 3 years after the incident! I have refused the insurance company request to settle 50/50 so they have just decided to sit on it and do nothing, with the excuse of it is with their legal department whenever I ask for an update!
    Initially I had trouble with the assessor who refused to authorise a repairer with a labour rate of more than £40 an hour despite the car being on a classic policy stipulating that the car should go to a repairer appropriate to the vehicle.
    I wasn't getting anywhere with the assessor after 3 months and had to make a complaint to the broker to get it approved, which happened within 24h of making a complaint.

    Olly

    Very sorry to hear that Sarah's cube has been rendered less cube-like Jonathan. That's bad enough, the fact that the insurance co aren't honouring their obligations is just grim.
