What is wrong with people ? >:(
I edited the footage down
cam 1 impact clicky (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52Mos0iiS0s)
note the reason for crashing on cam 3 ,He forgets to switch from REVERSE to DRIVE ,rams the Omega,then the JOLT reminds him to select DRIVE, and get away,as fast as possible (rather than do the decent thing and STOP and apologize ) nearly crashing into the poor Ford Focus driver ::)

It was last night, a delivery driver ,delivering to us, that Mrs Builder had just given a £2 tip FFS >:(
-
I'm absolutely shocked, Dave!! Your missus tips delivery drivers? :o
-
That's two free Omegas you've missed out on...
Every one of those that doesn't go reported only reinforces the idea that it's acceptable behaviour :-X

Time to change your forum name to Unlucky Dave the Builder.

Hopefully you can get him sacked. He deserves not only fir his dishonesty, but also his stupidity in not checking for cameras.

You haven't got the number "13" somewhere on that most unlucky Omega have you? ??? ??? ;)

Just a mo, Mrs V says a bigger tip might have prevented the ramming.

I'll give him a tip when I see him ::)
It's a good job I did not re-paint the bumper from the ram 2 weeks ago ::)
better footage this time due to cleaning the cameras , so no 70s porno soft filter effect ;)

Had she tipped him more he might have made a better job of it and written it off altogether ::) ;D

I don'r want it written off :o
where am I going to find another with only 81k and sills
plus the knock on financial effect of making a claim

It's cost you IIRC to claim and will be an ongoing extra cost :-\

When things like this happen, Dave, you've just got to laugh. It's no good feeling hard done to, it's gets you nowhere. When Mo's astra was set alight, it took us about ten minutes to start joking about it. Police were useless, insurance company were great, that's life.
At least, in your case, it was only an old shed, not a new astra. ;D

new astras are easy to replace ,loads for sale
low mileage omegas with sills ,not so much so
it had spent a good chunk of it's life in a garage
I spent a good chunk of time rust-proofing it

But yours doesn't need replacing, it needs fettling. I reckon you'd be bored with nothing to fettle.

Is that the infamous bucket putting in an appearance or the replacement? ::)

I really don't know Mr Baza
all those black ones look the same to me ;D :D

Black!!!! Can you say that these days?Surely it should be an ethnic minority bucket or something similar :D :D ;D ;D ;D

oh no, I'm a bucket racist :-[
I have lots of white ones,lots of black ones , a gray one, several orange ones
no yellow ones :o
I'll go hand myself in to the police
oh wait ....
there's no one at the local station :(
-

No, can,t say coloured these days. Black is now the new coloured. ;D Don,t know how it works for S.E. Asian now. Yellow i suppose.

Put your Omega in for a T20 or move somewhere Isolated from traffic :y ;D

All buckets are made in China, so I think you're covered on the inclusivity :D

Indeed, don't I know that it is a bloody nightmare when that happens and with our miggies it is a fight to get what you know the car is worth and how relatively rare they are. I challenged my insurance company to find another one with that kind of low mileage and with matching spec; in fairness they, Ageas, agreed and paid out what was required to put mine back on the road. Dave would have the same battle :o ???
-
Again...
Every one of those that doesn't go reported only reinforces the idea that it's acceptable behaviour.
And people wonder why there is no respect of property any more >:(
-
C'mon Dave, it's not like you don't know where he works .. and I'm sure you can find another Chinese/Kebab Shop/whateveritwasyouordered ;)

Chinese
the one I've been using regularly for 11 years (no cat or other indiscernible meat products)
I have no beef with the Chinese (apart from that in the special fried rice ;D)
My problem is with the bumper car delivery driver >:(
a carefully considered tactical response is in hand
-
Order 6M3 of CP9 mix and have it deposited though the front window that should even things up :y

:o 6 cube of pumped concrete would cost more than i paid for My Omega ;D
and I'm not taking on the Triads , It's not the Chinese's fault
it's the driver ,who's of Indian decent ,probably Birmingham,Bradford #stereotype :P

Oh well send a cruise tomahawk through the window then. Ahh.. forgot about the strict expense budget.. make it an old hatchet ;D
