I saw you being pushed back up the old pitlane...

Hope it was nothing serious?

White EK9, looked like it had some aero... rear diffuser??
 
Hope it wasn't Wazer, I'm sure he mentioned a ring trip
 
Yeah it was me.
Had a lot of blue smoke out the back and oils getting into cylinder 3.
Once I get the car home I'll strip it and find out what's happened.
Adac refusing to bring the car home on the grounds that they think its not worth 1000euros.
Most useless company I've dealt with for a long time.

They will bring it back.

Do you have any invoices?

They have upped the limit from. 5000 euro to 8000 euro.

Also remember in Germany they only see normal civic not type r. Tell them it is a hobby car imported from Japan.

Find receipts/invoices and send it to them.
 
I've said all of this to them Ian.
The woman on the phone laughed at me when I told them what the cars worth. I told her I can send receipts and links to other adverts in the uk but she wasn't having any of it. Told her about your car aswell. She kept telling me I'm not willing to discuss this with you and then put the phone down on me!
 
WHAT! Have you called again and asked to speak with someone else?

If this is the case what is the point having ADAC!

I herd this year the removal from track is now 250 euro.
 
I would call again and ask to speak to her manager,
If she asks why tell her your not willing to discuss it with her!
 
Gutted for you mate, if you need any translation assistance i can speak fluent german.
 
What an extreme bummer :( Good luck...

You can't get your car back home on travelinsurance?
 
Poverty-spec travelinsurance in the UK then :(
