Yeah CCTV has him nailed thankfully. Havent had a chance to confront him yet but will catch up with him later no doubt.

Went straight over to VW to get a quote...... £1200 approx  :shocked:

Glad Im not paying for it. Helpful guy at VW (who I had a few arguments with last time :huh:) has been real good this time. Says he has a like for like car as a replacement which is good of him. Im just looking forward to the shock on the guys face when i pass him the bill :grin:

Caught up with him this morning...  :laugh:


Said he heard something, but didnt think he had hit something  :rolleyes: :lipsrsealed:

Anyway he told me to get it repaired, and will pay the cost of repair cash. Owned up very quickly for someone who claims he didnt do anything. Well that was until I told him how much it will cost... his eyes nearly fell out of his head.

Kind of felt sorry for him in a way (must be getting old), but I guess in the light of things I shouldnt as it would have been me paying if it wasnt for CCTV. Will be speaking to insurance today... want it repaired asap. Dont like being out of my own car.

I would try and make sure you get the cash up front, OR (and most preferable) insist that he goes through his insurance, and you can go to them direct and deal with them and them only. You will also then be able to claim for a courtesy car (lease car like for like, so you are not put in some sh1tty Fiat Punto)

This has happened to be with my last Beamer, same amount of damage, car off the road for 8 days, but got a brand new Z4 to play with in that time (bill for that was £2000!) all paid for by Direct Line.

Your repair people will also be happier to deal with an insurer
