Rite update, as of earlier today the other driver was insured by my insurance company aswell which cuts out a comunication delay. He has accepted full liabilty for pulling out in front of me and my car will be repaired at my bodyshop of choice.
I also get a free hire car so fingers crossed!!!!!

Good luck with repairing the damage. Shouldn't be too hard I think?

( looks for smiley touching his nose in an Arthur Dailey know what I mean son stylee )

shame radicast will only do a bulk order of 20 sets of the clear indicators and they wont be of any use to your bodyshop ,
so they might as well leave the rest in your boot.

On a serious note ,

we keep asking about the car , but how are you Adam ?

If you have any aches or pains then I suggest you get down to your doctor and make sure its recorded.

I am not only talking about the possibility of an injuries claim ( although I am sure the money would come in useful ) but talking from experience ,

I was involved in a car accident 22 years ago , felt fine at first but have progressively sufferred from back and neck pain as time has gone on

( yeah approaching the half century probably contributes to it as well )

but you can replace a car , you cant replace your health.

I'm fine, me and the passenger felt more of an impact going up the kerb than we did hitting the other car. harnesses and buckets for the win.....

Bum clouds! If you need any help with a valuation, or parts (breaking a 360 at the moment), give me a shout...

It must be the week for it. Martin has had his immaculate S90 in our unit for ~18 months...and four days after he MOT'd it, some twonk pwned his own Touran by driving into the (parked) S90 at the side of the road. S90: bumper, light, rear 3/4. Touran: got trailered away. Lulz.

cheers

Just come across this.....that's a shocker. So sorry to see that.

Well done on getting a decent settlement. Although of course it doesn't take into account the hassle of getting the thing repaired, particularly the unique bits you fabbed yourself.

Has the car been sorted out now and if so, how does it look?
