Sooooo, I was driving along a road, when I had to stop at red lights, when some doddering old fool decided to run into the side of us from a sidestreet....
Not a lot of damage except on the O/S rear wheelarch and O/S rear wheel....
The arch is bent and the repair I did with filler and fresh paint to get it to look nice, now needs repairing again....
The old fella admitted liability (coz I was stopped) and there was witnesses, but don't think they'll be needed TBH...
Iv already told him that I wont go through insurance as both cars would possibly be written off and we cant be without a vehicle (registered disabled carriage), I can only presume his is also a registered disabled carriage too.... (most old folks with cars have disabled RFL)
The wheel has got scuff marks on it, but dunno 100% if its been bent/buckled, I can't see it being more than scuffed as the Elite wheels are quite strong but I may just get it seen to to see of its still true or not. I only got a fresh tyres on the rear wheels last week so the tyre place should be able to tell me if the wheel is still OK or not....
All I can ask the old fella to do is possibly get the rear arch repaired and the wheel/s refurbed...
Im not out to rip-off the old fella as I wouldn't like it done to me, plus I don't believe in the 'compensation culture' we've become to live in these days...
Hopefully it'll be repaired without much hassle to myself and to the old fella that hit me...
