its the people that pull out that are the lethal ones!!
the bloody pissed up smack head! and the there insurers still havnt contacted me to come out and agree a fee for my car!

whats the deal with what happens when if you want to keep the car, do they give you money to fix it if its a mild "write off", coz i wanna keep my valver and get it back to its best. But what sort of money are they going to give me?

it depends what the damage is worth, they paid me for the damage to my car, because the damage was bad enuff to write it off, but not bad enuff for them to take, they just gave me less money and said i could keep it.. you can discuss that with teh valuer...
the valuer that came said theres no point in takin mine, but if u say u want to restore the car, you don't want it writing off, they'll rob make it a cat C -  so you can repair it... altho you might have to buy it back from them!? not sure how it all works tbh.//

Cheers mate, i hope so too. It was my pride and joy! Now its just sat on my drive getting mouldy, i went to go and start it up the other day but the battery was flat! (thats how long it has been sitting there!!) it smells damp and mouldy! :cry: I am determined to get it back on the road and firing on all cylinders (if you pardon the pun)!

I have bought a scirocco to keep me mobile but i dnt get it until next weekend and i cant insure it until the claim is orted out with my valver so at the moment i am on the same mode of transport as thee, with the addition of:

I was doing alright at one point i had my red 1.6 dirver which i had for about 10 months in all, it served me well:



then my mate ended up buying 2 valvers on ebay so i said that i would buy the cheapest one, which was £255. Lets just say you get what you pay for...



I had that for about 3 months maximum, most of which was spent off road after i spun it into a tree, and to make things worse it kept cutting out and coughing and spluttering! Which i sorted but when i did it was MOT time, it failed 3 times so i sold it to my mate who took the engine, g'box, interior out and scrapped the shell.

then to keep me going my dad put me on the insurance for his green 8 valve mark 3 (i dnt have a pic of this)

then i bought my current valver off my mate (valver number 2 in the valvers of ebay)



I took this picture as i got to the car park after work, it was all clean and had just been lowered that weekend at was looking particularly nice.

Wow that trip down memory lane has brought a tear to my eye  :cry:
 :laugh: :grin:

Some pretty nice cars there! :) Unfortunately the only vehicles ive ever driven are an old Volvo (That was amusing watching me attempt to go around a tight corner with a 4ft drop either side), a westfield (only around the car park though :( ) and the car im learning it at the moment, a nice shiney '04 Polo! :)
