i just got word from the mecahanic and it is bust beyond repair as the chassy is bent off and the shell is keeping it on and the gears are also ruend the sincro-mesh went on impact and the clutch burned out when i tried to reverse it and it collapsed in the front suspention causeing it to bust the left tyre and wheel arch. im going to see it for the last time on friday when i will say goodbye to it forever as it parts are sent to a brakers yard and the only thing il have to remember it by is the video of me crashing it and the pictures of it and my set of keys and im gonna try to keep my spare wheel and jack. so this is a leason for all .dont thrash your panda drive it sensibly and look after it and it will serve you well for years to come but for me its going to be out of my life for ever.

panda registerd 1990 in london died in 2005 june the 6 in bulmer essex
i will never forget the worlds best car and it will forever live on in my memory with the guilty consienc of its death caused by a moment of speed and stupidity of mine. . ps i will make sure its parts go to a good home.

The irish panda lot will be going beserk!!

I am sorry for your loss

That actually brought a tear to my eye!

My car is slowly dying and would hate to see her go. The only ever car I have become attached to.

it is heart breaking to see it be mistreated by the pearson who washed it evrey day cleaned the interior valeted it and was saving up to restorit to its former glory.i will be emotonaly untouchable and fradgile for a while but i am alredy on the quest of finding another lil panda that can be dilverd to me and it to be quite cheap. so if u or anyone you know has one preferably a 1000 cl for sale and can diliver it to me at bulmer in essex just on the border of sudbury suffock then please contact me on 07712760049 and i will give full addres details. ps i would like it to be under £100.evan though it might be the same it wount be the same as my old one. r.i.p lil panda

Well at least you are ok that is the main thing, at the end of the day, however much we love our cars, they are only metal!

I spotted a black 900 Dance for £95 not far from me, except I'm in the North West (Cheshire). Essex is a bit of a trek, and going on the condition it was in, it probably wouldn't make it.

when i scrapped me panda other week it was TOTALLY rust free and was completely restored, but it had to go for new car when i saw it on back of tow truck i felt terrible cos i never even used it properly and it was better condition that any other old panda i have seen, the lad who took it away said the same and after i took it away me bro said i could have kept it at his

Sorry to hear about your Panda
I am sure it is happily crawling along the slow lane of that big dual carriage way in the sky.
If no one takes my Panda Dance you can have it. I am in Essex too. Southend. Full MOT some Tax.
But it needs love.
It is only a 903 though.

Hay, remember... We're british!

hehe!

(is that a starter for 10?)

and on a serious note, I'm really sorry that your's can't be repaired but I hope you find another one.

OK, we need a reality check on this thread.

Doing that amount of damage to a Panda could have caused a similar amount of damage to you. It didn't. Be glad about that.

It is gutting though when you wreck a car you're attached to. Most of us have done it at some point. You live and learn. Another Panda should be easy to acquire.

can u give me a full spec list like colour age how many miles its done and if you are near bulmer in essex just at the border of sudbury suffolk . im not to picky about age or color to be hounist .and if so could you deliver it as im only 14 and i dunno if i can get anyone to take it to my dads work shop.p.s if its not to far id see if my dad can get u a lift back or bus fair or summingt.

oh and forgot to add thanks for the offer Chris but AppleSei it is as dead as a dog and the engen is leaking all kinds of fluids

Aww, it's bleeding.

I will have to look you up on the map.
It is a white Panda Dance. 903 engine. H reg it has the little Dance stickier on the back and across the seats.
It has had seals weilded and treated, new heating matrix, thermostat, radiator, tyres, filters.

Drivers door is rusted through, paintwork scratched, for the last four MOT's I have been told the exhaust is on the way out.

You are welcome to have it but I would rather not have to do a marathon trip to get it to you. I will check on a map though, it may not be far.

ok well my main concern is the doors. i should be able to get my old door off and put it on theren as it was in farly good condish apart from a lil surface rust and as i said i should be able to get you back to south end.

ps how long is the mot and road tax last for otherwise i could get my brother to come up and get it back
