Hi Ben,

Welcome to the Primera club!
I got an R plate GT a few months back from a mate of mine who was moving to Amsterdam. smile
I needed a run around and he owed me a few hundred quid, so I got the car as payment.
I can't believe how much car you get for your money!
Could do with a bit more poke, but I think they handle pretty well.

Yours looks much nicer than mine, which is a bit of a shed, but mechanically sound.

Are you pleased with it?

For what it's worth, I've come up with a half reasonable idea!

A friend of mine was just about to sell me his 100NX. It needs a clutch and he doesn't want to spend any money on it, as he's getting a company car anyway.

Assuming your car is a write off, I could find out how much he'd sell it to you for and you could do an SR20 conversion on it. smile

Was there a red Audi TT involved aswell?
Just found out some stupid cow crashed into one of my little brothers mates too.

Might do the SR20 into 100NX thing myself. the Primera seems to be tinworms favourite dinner and I'm not wasting my time on the bodywork of a £500 car.

Hopefully you'll get properly compensated.
