the only thing that does not suck about that , is that you guys are okay.


rather tinkers.....   

[Vamps]

Well, if I told you mine may well be a right off due to a range rover driver shunting me Into the kerb....

Both of you on the same day, bad news, at least no one is hurt.......

[feeutfo]

Yep it's just a car. And nobody hurt. Although I never felt so sick over an object as when the repairer suggested it may be a write off.

Fingers crossed for Monday though.

Tough luck Chris,glad you are ok though,end of the day car can be fixed/replaced,flesh and bones sometimes can't

[TheBoy]

As long as none of the pillars or sills are damaged, sounds like it can be fixed easy enough, its if they decided its too expensive to fix. And if you can get the bits - eg Sportstars are hard to find, as you know, and black doors/wings aren't that common...

Would need to look for subframe damage/distortion as well, if its taken that much of a clonk, although plenty of breakers here. Suspect PITA to remove.

really sorry to hear this Chris 

Glad to hear its slow speed and your ok 

Does not sound good, damage described sounds like a write of from insurance view 

Sure a DIY fix with OOF help can get it back on the road 

[Jimbob]

Gutted for you Chris, especially if it does turn out to be an insurance job!

Glad your ok (the main thing) and hope it all gets sorted to your satisfaction.

Ah thanks for kind comments offers and concerns. Just me in the car, not too big a shunt, low speed. Although a hell of a wack from the side.

Large Two lane round about with road works on, RR to the right if me knocked me into the kerb between 1st and second exit. We both entered the round about and intended, apparently, to both take same exit(second)... trouble is she, the driver, thinks I entered from first exit and drive into the side if her. I was sat right next to her waiting to enter the round about. Although I am sure I saw blokes hands on the steering wheel.

It's not looking good. A male witness appeared from nowhere, some 50 yards up the road. Claimed immediately to have never met the Laidy and it was all my fault. Wtf? Suspicious IMO. Local plod checked CCTV in the high St which revealed nothing. Cameras pointing the wrong way.

Damage to drivers door, wing, mirror head light, wheel and tyre from impact.

Damage to pas side tyre and wheel which is pointing inboard and tucked under. Steering wheel is pointing at 3 o'clock.

Dont know how these things work re value, insurance know about sports stars and gas conversion. Not sure how much I valued the car at or how much the book price is or how they work it out. But I rekon there's enough damage there to write it off.

Although easily fixed with second hand body panels and cosmetic stuff. So I may have to buy the wreck back and do it myself. No idea how that works.

Car will be delivered to approved repairer on Monday.

Sorry to leave you in suspense, we had visitors. But thanks for concerns and thoughts. Much appreciated.

sorry to hear about this Chris..glad you are ok.. the car anyway can be repaired if you want..

Picked up the new van today

Just over 3 hours up the road to deliver it for equipment fitting some halfwit in a BMW drives into the back of it on the A1 I couldn't believe it!

Fortunately it was very low speed (sub 5 mph) and there is no damage at all Not even a mark on the bumper

But even so...

 
Lazydocker, check the bumper and door gaps.. it may have done some damage internally..
