Some old granny wiped me out at a junction, she hit the accelerator instead of the brake, then went through a wall!
I think my car will be a right off, what you think?

I will have lots of bits for sale soon,
K04-001, Manifold, Full System, tip and the list goes on and on.
-
I am 99% sure that will not be repaired.
Hope you get it all sorted. :smiley:
-
yep, i'd say that would be a write off too....
-
Holy fook old peolple shouldn't be allowed on the road !!! Hope ur all ok, car looks quite bad, doubt they would repair it..
-
sorry to hear mate. That will be written off. Check with your insurance company first if you can by the vehicle back so you can break it as some companies dont let you do it anymore.
Let me know what bits you will have for sale
-
Oh dude, bad times :cry: I hope you're ok!
-
Yea i am ok got back pain but that is the norm in a crash.
They said i can keep the car as it is 10 years old they dont want it lol. i was going to strip bits off it befor it went but dont matter now.
-
Thats really harsh mate, im suprised you didnt finish the old bat off when you had a go! Hope your claim goes through with no problems. Feel free to PM me with prices for the bits also. :smiley:
-
main thing is you came out un hurt :smiley:
-
sh!t man that must have made her nearly have a heart attack lol I had the same thing happen to my corsa gsi and the Asian woman didn't have insurance in her name it was her mums and I didn't get a penny for the car but I done a no win no fee claim for my whiplash and got £1600 :wink: but had tomwait 7months for it
-
Also pm
Me with things for sale also :)
-
no insurance that pisses me off :evil: :angry: pm me to :wink:
-
i cant believe how much mud is behind the arch's recommend anyone to remove this and give it a clean.
-
even if the other party has no insurance you can still claim for your car, speak to a solicitor about it, when mine was written off i asked about the other partys insurance and solicitor told me he was covered but even if he wasnt then i could still get money for my car, didnt ask much more but think i remember him saying its a requirement by law for your insurance companies now
pisser about your car, but from this you can go to better things, if my astra wasnt written off then i wouldnt have got my gti :smiley:
-
yea i will get a mk5 now and tune that bad boy up :)
-
Gutted to hear this. The car looks proper beat. Glad you are OK though.
I take it from that, it's 100% her fault?
Move on to the next toy. Keep it VAG!
-
it was her fault, she even said it was her fault. She was bloody 88!
Must say a big thank you to HIC, very fast service. Woke up at 9am with a bloke at more door with a brand new car for me lol
-
Another reason why old people shouldn't drive
Hope it all gets sorted mate, would be interested in the manifold if it's an uprated one lol
-
Bad luck there now. Only thing is if its written off my insurance co.. Buy it off them for cheap money along with the compensation youl get and repair the car yourself. Its not that bad, Wing and door can be easily replaced, a good body man will sort the sill and quarter panel np. And youl have effectively ended up with a car for nothing, providing the ould biddys insurance company coughs up!

buy it back off insurance company. i knew someone who bought a saxo back for £5 quid . strip it for parts.
-
if you was on the main rd at the junction and she flew out from a minor rd you will definately get a pay out and good case for compo to. i was speeding once and a merc sprinter t-boned me and he got f**ked for it. i told the police man i was doing 55 in a 30 and he didnt care cus i had right of way and the van shud of payed more attention.lol.
-
Ahh gutted.
I think driving test should have to be re-done at 60 because half the fekkers drive blind.
Car is 100% write off.
-
Claim for the back pain aswell mate. Glad your ok though
-
So sorry mate. The main thing is you're ok.

so you admitted to doing nearly double the speed limit and the copper didnt book you :rolleyes: even tho you effectively reduced the sprinter drivers reaction time and really you should have been held at blame :tongue:
-
Yeah thats a bit of a stupid thing to admit lol
-
no really i was on a main rd and he pulled out of a side rd which had a stop sign on it and a thick solid white line acros it. legally its his duty to take care when pulling out and there was sh!t loads of witnesses that saw him pull out on me when i was about 10 metres away from him . it brought the town centre to a stand still for half hour buses had to mount the pavement to get round the crash the front of my car went straight into the front axle of the van. completely pushed the front up it was like the whole front was missing it was serious sh!t. my kid was in back of car at time luckily he was fine but my mrs hit her head of the windscreen and cut her head bad but she jumped out the car and started on the van driver. it was funny afterwards she called him every name under the sun. he bricked it. some random passer by appeared from knowhere with a fire extinguisher.fire engines police ambulances. it was pure carnage.
-
the police arent that nieve that they belive everyone travels round at 30mph you know. i knew i had right of way and you cant blag traffic police they can tell speed you travel at in that situation from the damage and skid marks etc if its investigated. i told him i wasnt doing 30 and he didnt care as we was the ones in the smashed up car with a child and the fact obviously legally i had right of way and he even said it didnt matter if i was doing 130mph it still wud of been the van driver who shudnt of pulled out on me. obviously i wud of been booked for speeding but not causing a accident. we got paid out for the car a hire car paid for for a month and compo on top of that . worked out quite well.lol.
