as everyone has said you were lucky to walk away from this, what a stunning car you had, what a lovely colour, my first mk2 gti was in great condition till joy riders in a stolen car piled into the back off it on xmas day outside my front door and wrote it off, when i got outside they had done a bunk (obviously) the B's, when i got in touch insurance company said "what you want us to do about it your 3rd party fire and theft", and then partners insurance company tried to claim off my insurance as my golf was put into the rear of his car, EH! i wasnt in the car so wtf  :angry:, luckily partner didnt pursue me for the claim, but i was told to get in touch with the Motor Insurance Bureau, see if they could help me, expained about insurance company and what happened, nice people, got my car inspected and low and behold i got £2800, £1800 for golf and £1000 compensation, was a bit of a gutter when i found out it was someone who lived around the road from me who did all this damage and he got off scot free, being a little snitch came in handy for him, seems criminals can get away with anything if they inform on other drug dealers.

Yeah i did very well to walk away, considering the floor and roof were both buckled. Doesn't help that my insurance battle is still going on. I've been on the phone everyday for a week now and im starting to get very annoyed, anyone got any ideas on what futher action i can take against them? maybe i should speak to the motor insurance bureau :wink:

Insurance companies are bastards! when my mk2 was stolen, and found buried in a wall in Leeds, the insurance co didn't want to know- they offered me £450, and even after sending in adverts for similar cars, they wriggled... I got £700 in the end, but I wasn't happy still

Good luck, don't take any of their sh!t

Being a country dweller myself and havin had a few 'incidents' on the roads round here i feel for you mate. Never had the complications your having, got shafted by council for 2k for denting a metre stretch of barrier once, so i wish you all the best mate. Dont give up on the dubs.
