New VXR8/HSV in Wigan
Discussion
New to the forum, just wanted to say high and introduce myself, based in Wigan in the North West, Lancashire. This week I'm picking up my new (new to me) VXR8/HSV after my old one was written off by a taxi driver! :-( Only had the old one 5 weeks before the crash! On the upside I'm going from an 6.0 Ls2 to a 6.2 LS3, just hoping that it lasts longer than 5 weeks this time!
The amount of damage was well over 10K and the insurance wont really bank roll anything over 8K i believe. There was a bit of structural damage underneath, and the cost of importing spare parts also sent the cost flying. All i can say is, thank god there are built like tanks, i was hit at some speed, and was completely unharmed.

What happened to the old car?
And specifically engine!?
ironically you should ask, i got an email tonight from a guy who bought it from a salvage company asking about it hahaha, bit of a kick in the teeth but hey ho, was no use to me any more after the insurance company bought it from me, i guess as these cars are rare, they are worth their weight in gold for sparesAnd specifically engine!?
