Thread: I broke the 90

Sorry to hear about it Garry, i'll better grimaces bid of $67.90 and offer $75.00

Well it is going to be a write off after all

Not sure as of where the auction will be but its either Townsville or Brisbane

The 14k plus of gear that was bolted on will all be with the car as its part of the claim so it could be a good buy if you have the know how to straighten it up

That includes the fridge all the radios the 33" tyres and lots of steel on the sides bottom and corners, the bull bar warn winch and a brand new plasma rope

But on the bright side I will be getting a shiny new one and with any luck all the bits I bought replaced

And if all goes well It should be some where in the country by the time I get home from Singapore in Nov / Dec

I will keep you all informed of where the auction will be should anyone be interested

Well the saga continues

Just received word that they are ordering a out of the box 90 so very happy there with the insurers

Charene being who she is compiled a beautiful spread sheet of all the things I bought and put on but they must have given it to the junior office "person" who has spent most of their time reading gossip mags I think

Charene put down all of the suppliers, ARB, Mulgo, Mudstuff etc. with all the receipts and part numbers trying to avoid confusion, a phone call to each would have cleared up all of the "what is this" statements

You can imaging my surprise when asked what a 30m synthetic rope was, not to mention was the bull bar bolted on?

That is a mere 2 of the two dozen questions they asked

So for my next 90 I think I will just give ARB or Mulgo or such like a shopping list and get them to fit it all in one go, then go back to the insurance and get a fixed price on the vehicle

Happy days eh!

Hope to catch up again soon

A wee update

I have just received confirmation I will be the proud new owner on another shiny new black defender 90 with Bluetooth and a subwoofer the sales manager tells me

All going to plan I will have it the first week of December, any good trips coming up in December? I will have to check the trip threads after this

It has taken quite a bit of time and effort but the insurance company has come good and looked after me so a big thanks to them

only another 3 and a bit weeks and I will be home again so will try catch up
