My brother crashed my Z1
Rather someone drove into him while he was driving it. Then the very next day someone reversed into it while it was parked! Ahhh.. What to do next?

Gutted for you m8, hope it's not too bad and just as you got it all mint
Not to worry m8, just think of all those new parts their insurance company is going to have to fork out for!

Commiserations from one who knows!
Brighton does seem a very dangerous place for cars - can they all just not drive down there?
Presume you have agreed valuation?

Sheesh, not again. You crash them, Ivor saves them, is it a writeoff when you say `bye bye`?

Sorry to hear this mate! Is the car a total writeoff?
Are you going to repair the Z? I will give you a ring this week.

Sorry, it was meant as a joke - as everyone seems to use it for target practice.

I think dynorod-orange might be better if you want people to see you coming.
Hope it is soon fixed, Ben.

I was thinking the other day that Interlagos Blue, which is the colour of my M5, might look good on a Z1.

Have to agree, I think that would work too. Having said that, I really liked the Chilli Red
