Tomorrow I finally get to go to court on the ba$tard that wrecked my taildragger april last year
He's refused to pay any damages and to top it off is spreading lies and BS claims... It's only a prelimanary hearing, but some luck wouldn't harm me (I have very little trust in the legal system) I just hope I can stay calm an not rip the a$$hole's head of when I see him in court Hopefully I have some good news to report tomorrow... |

Best of luck to you. Take a big breath when you first see him. Follow him out of the building and trip going down the steps and stop your fall by hitting him in the back. thus he gets your momentum and takes the bad fall and you stand there looking like Whoops did I do that (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

When it first happened it sounded like it was going to go much better than this, sorry to hear that it didn't. Good luck and don't forget to add in the cost of replacing your wet shoes!

Good luck Jeroen! It sucks when bad stuff happen to good people. It really makes you think twice before you do someone a favor. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) I hope the court rules in your favor, even if it's just a prelim.

Good luck man. Hope it all goes well. I'd be so pissed if someone wrecked one of my cars... I'm still trying to get the money off the city bus that sideswiped our Subie, so I know where you're at. That was a fender dent though - not a write-off!

A "tail-dragger" is a car with its engine in the second-best location. That is, at the back and not in the middle.
I.e., a 911. --DD |

Good luck Jeroen, courts suck as a rule but generally they're better than having none at all....too many gunfights that way, if he was driving of his own volition, it should be a slam dunk.

Best of luck. As has been said before, stay calm, let the other guy get all pissy. That way the Judge thinks you're the reasonable one, and he's the jerk. In other words, the way it really is. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Awe, a tail dragger, like my ghia or bug. I was thinking like a tail dragger air plane, ie tail landing wheel, verse a tricycle landing gear (nose wheel) Most tail draggers these days are light planes (although many light planes are tricycle gear) A large plane that is still flying, but a tail dragger would be the DC-3, all modern airliners use tricycle gear.
Good grief, I am at 40,000 feet, going 500 mph, and you're going to land this jumbo jet on tricyle landing gear, hell last time I was on a trycycle was when I was in first grade! Anyway, hope you win,a nd your very nice looking 911 is repaired right. Here's a twist, say he car jacked your 911, and you want him arrested for theft!!!! |
