5mph, 1 bollard and an insurance claim...
« on: 03 June 2007, 20:48 »
 :cry: When I got home the other half said "Didn't you see it?"
Insurance are footing the bill, £1300 (minus my excess) worse still I've got the pleasure of a 1.2 Fiesta for the week :cry:

Tourag would be nice! I was actually glad for the Fiesta as it was parked next to a Daewoo Matiz. Not that I would have entertained the idea of driving off in it. Off topic further, but the sheddiest loan car I had was a Peugeot 106 with dual control... good fun when the wife was driving though!

Back on topic, I was suprised to get a visit from an insurance assessor with a tyre depth gauge!

oh my worst one was an old shed of a fiat!!!

cos obviously a bald tyre would make you go into a bollard silly  :rolleyes: :laugh: he probably got his paper work mixed up " bald tyre " instead of "bollard"   :grin:

nothing wrong with New Beetles...I've had two, and the 1.8t version gives plenty of unsuspecting drivers frights when it accelerates away...when they think the Beetles are slow as hell  :wink:
