It's the mrs's birthday today and we picked up her new car, a silver X-reg Polo GTi. She had it 2 hours and some muppet ran into the car behind her and that in turn has shunted her Polo! She's had to go to hospital suffering from whiplash. To make matters worse the silly bint in the middle car tried to blame the mrs because she stopped (FOR TRAFFIC) at the roundabout and then starts bitching her £300 shed of a corsa is more damaged than the Polo we just paid £4k for, at this point I lost it! Luckily the damage is limited to the rear bumper and probably the crash bar. Thankfully the mrs isn't to beat up, just very sore, but what a crappy birthday!
Rant over...

Sorry to hear about that, just tell your Mrs to book a nice holiday from the Whiplash payout, it should be in the thou's of £, my ex-girlfriend did.

Sorry to here about that, hope your Mrs is ok.....
Look on the bright side a car can be fixed it could have been a lot worse.
As for someone running in the back, I thought if anyone runs in the back of you it is there fault!
Make sure she gets her whiplash claim in a couple of grand there :y
-
Hopefuly shes not hurt but.....
.....you paid 4 grand for a 9 year old Polo!
-
:(
-
Never mind the car, they can be fixed. So long as you're both ok.
I hope your wife's better soon :y
-
Sorry to hear about this, i hope your wife will be up and running again soon.
To get yourself in a good mood again, claim claim claim............... thats what the system is there for, that will make the silly person in the middle to shut up. :y :y :y :y :y
-
unlucky mate >:(
-
hows the wife today mate, i hope neither of you are hurting
-
Unlucky mate. At least the bloke who hit the back of me was full of apologies. Still claimed though! :)

Update:
Car has been to the bodyshop and they are prepairing the estimate for the insurance company. Solicitors have been in contact and are going ahead with the claim. The mrs is not so lucky, she can hardly move and is in serious pain, so a trip to her GP was in order on the instructions of the doctor who saw her in A&E. Her GP thinks she has bad whiplash and thinks she has cracked her tail bone!
-
hope she is soon o.k. people seem to think whiplash is made up or minor ailment but it can be bloody painful.you have my sympathy :y
