How is a Chinese piece of sh!t car with the initials M and f**king G in the title, with 5 doors, and the size of a f**king Pissrat anywhere near similar to a f**king 3 door sports Coupe!!!!



End of Rant.  :angry: :sick:

Shame to see mate..

You gona buy it back if they write it off ?

TBH it probably not worth it. Running gear is worth bugger all, and interior cloth aint worth much either. only panels not affected are the doors! It wont run either, starts then immediately cuts out. Cant even be arsed to investigate what it could be past a quick look I had yesterday.  :sad:

Amen to that brother!



In other news, I was up the hospital between half 6 last night and 1am this morning! I had a moral argument with myself for the last 24 hours, and decided I'm in the minority by not wanting to seek damages, Im genuinely hurt, my premiums are already sky high due to others claiming, and my insurance is guaranteed to go up at renewal in 2 months, even though I was absolutely at no fault! So Im proceeding to take em to the cleaners! Had a xray which revealed chips to the vertebrae on two parts where they compressed together, then had a ct scan which revealed an acute fracture of one of them. still very sore but I'll live.

to have shunted so many cars, it must have been a fooking good whack  :shocked:

I personally, ( not just to claim ) would have been visiting doctor before worrying about a hire car  :lipsrsealed:

Financially it just doesn't make sense not to claim for every penny you can. The moral minority not claiming won't affect high premiums. Your premium will affected by this for 3/5 years regardless of what you claim for.

So until the day the human race stops being selfish lying arseholes, and moral people aren't shafted. Screw them for every single penny.

I'll put it towards a daily sh!tter. Everything else will go towards a nice VR thats gonna live in a garage, and just come out for "spirited runs" at the w.end.  :cool: I will be moving to Pompy in about 7 weeks now though so its kinda on the back burner for a few months until we're all sorted and settled there. Daily work horse will be a small car to share with the missus I expect.  :rolleyes:

Oh and the assessor came out at about 11 o'clock, but I was still at work so don't know what he'll put in his report. Cant see the outcome being anything other than whats expected though.

Ok assessors company (whoever the f**k it is, third party companies on absolutely everything so far) contacted me today. Car has been declared a CAT B write-off. They have offered me £1140. Now considering I paid £500 for it, I jumped at this! I was expecting around £900 to be offered tbh, what with the amount of work I've done since ownership. They asked me if I had a price in mind and I told them £1200 thinking I was being a little cheeky!  :grin: Obviously not though!  :huh: Heard a few people say to turn the first offer down, but I was pretty happy with it, and as I've still got the house to sort out for rental, courses that are a pre-requisite for my promotion course  :shocked:, and a car to buy before everything can be sorted out, I didn't think too much about arguing. I've also been given a quote to buy the car back off them, and have someone lined up who wants the whole thing. See what he's offering first though I think................ :lipsrsealed:
