Title: Reshaping of Mrs AA's Astra
Post by: Auto Addict on 30 September 2012, 08:46:52
A Ring & Ride bus tried to remove the offside of Mrs AA's Astra yesterday, whilst she was parked outside her brothers house.

Fortunately, there were some builders working on a house opposite who witnesed it and took all the details off the driver.

Should be a straightforward claim.

Fixable?

I would think so, scraped the front wing, drivers door, drivers door mirror, rear door and rear wing.

Least you have witnesses, did the bus driver not leave a note then?

Hope they fix it, cars get written off for such little damage  :(

Yes, the bus driver left details.

Hope it doesn't get written off, it's a 2006 car with 11K on the clock.

It's her pride and joy.

Sorry to hear AA, does sound fixable tho  :y

My Trafic suffered a similar fate last sat evening.....

A learner diver decided they wanted to be in the lane i was in....

Result....dented front nearside wing/scraped pass door (lost trim)/scraped B pillar (lost trim)/scraped rear door/scraped rear wing.

Its already been into a bodyshop for a quote........im just waiting for a replacement Trafic to be provided by the other persons insurance before it goes in for repair  :y

Unfortunately im starting a new contract on Monday (thats worth quite a bit) and not the ideal situation to turn up in what looks like a crashed vehicle  :(

At the end of the day, its your wifes car and IF it is beyond economical repair buy it back off the insurance company and fix it yourself  ;)

I think if the A/B/C posts, or the sill has taken a significant knock, its sent up north to Andy B's place, to be filled with Beanz...

The good news is she should get it back today, fully repaired.

The bad news is she's had a brand new Astra hire car for the last two weeks, and quite likes it!
