Sorry to hear the news Eric. At least you had the opportunity to drive it all the way across the country this year!

Glad no one was hurt. You should sue this guy for leaving the scene of the accident.

Sorry about your loss. It's gotta hurt bad! Go talk to a lawyer - get the name of the Bimmer driver (to back you up) - and go after that idiot

Sorry to hear about the accident. Glad there were no injuries. That was one beautiful TD.
If you're interested in selling the hitch, I need one for my 85TD. PM me if you are.

Sorry Peyton. Despite the fact that I myself would hesitate to own a black car, that is one of the sharpest rides I`ve ever seen. I`m sure you`ll find another to pamper, good luck.

I hope all is well Eric,

sorry to hear about the crash. I would say fix it if it's financially slightly reasonable.

Good luck

Damn.

I'm usually the last person to recommend instigating a lawsuit, but this guy ran from the scene, which to me is quite a strong admission of guilt, so I'd pursue legal action against him and his insurance company to get your car repaired.

Mike
