Unhappy ONE LAST RIDE (swiss370Z)

It is extremely difficult for me to open a new topic!

But my story I would like to write here, as this forum
always has enthusiasm and I got 1000 new ideas and always got help from you!










We write the Sunday 2 October 2016
A completely normal day

A sunny, cool day here with us in Switzerland ....
I just wanted to fill up and wash the 370Z .....

Just a little moment was not watching and in a simple curve was an object that I have not seen and so the fate of my beloved "Z" was sealed ....

You do not believe how I am concerned about this ...

I have been driving accident-free for 26 years....

AND NOW THIS!!



I will continue reading here, and if possible, offer my help!
I'll be back, but it will take some time .....to forget

Now the family and our small daughter has priority!

Greetings from Switzerland
Ivo

BTW: The attack was not fast and I am 100% OK!

Wow, glad that you're safe. I've followed your progress with the Stillen SC for a long time and sorry to hear this but at least you're healthy. Things can be replaced.

Glad you are OK. We dont want any of our forum brothers get hurt. As for your Z, you've put in a lot so this must really hurt. At the end of the day, no matter how awful it is, the Z is just a car. It can be replaced. Take care bro.

Terrible luck! As others have stated, you being ok is the most important thing here. But I know how much you loved your Z and the amount of time, thought and sweat that went into it. There are other cars out there that will make you just as happy. Maybe an upgrade to the next gen Z?

NO IVO!!! Man sorry to hear, First priority is you are ok? I know the journey was long for your car but it can be replaced. I always enjoyed seeing you finish the car and get to drive it. As I gave my FI goal up when my motor popped :/. Just as long as you are ok. Things are all Good! Man!

I hate reading threads like this. You put your heart and soul into it, and have it taken away in a heart beat. Glad you are ok. Hopefully you will get another Z, and use your parts from the old one to build a better Z.
