All because I needed to borrow my wifes car on Saturday (As the seats can be removed)
My wife had to use my car :o "Don't worry" she said; "I'll park it in the multi-storey"...........
Yep! I got the phone call when she left work......."A women in a 4x4 just reversed into your car.....sorry!"
Had two quotations done today; it looks like a new head light, wing and the Bonnet & Front bumper will need re-spraying.
Lesson learnt! next time hire a van! :y

Sorry to hear that :'(
Why do people drive these tractors when they've not got a hope of parking them - or driving them - safely?

Ideal i think :y
Get rid of all the stone chips at the front.......and any other slight scuffs you may of had...
FREE :y

Well, I must admit the biker that hit me in Italy nicely sorted the scratch on the bumper from when I knocked over an ice cream sign a few days earlier :-X

Having witnessed one of my neighbours reverse a Micra of about 1990 vintage into another car... it matters not what they drive. I had one of those Micras, it was the easiest car in the world to reverse (bar the Aygo/ 107/ C1 trio, where you merely look over your shoulder to see behind the back bumper...)

Ah, you'll be the guy in the suit and dark glasses that kept following me around in his Lancia?

Sorry to here that "Taxi" :-*

Eventhough the quote's have not been received; the general consensus is:-
New Headlight,
New wing (questionable),
Front bumper re-sprayed,
Bonnet re-sprayed.
And my friend who owns the bodyshop, will also sort the tracking out, FOC (What a mate!) :y

Just a thought, if the Government got off its arse and stopped protected no-claims bonus, the people driving cars that they can't handle would have more accidents and hence higher insurance premiums. Imagine trying to insure a V8 "cheslea tractor" with zero NCB !

The MOTOR insurance industry is a joke. People can have "guaranteed" NCB these days. 30 quid a year and you WILL NOT LOSE your ncb however many people's pride and joy you dent.
.. and then I get stung for an extra 100 quid on my premium because I mention the fact that a contractor working in a car park dropped his ladder on my car and arranged repair without their involvement. Not even a phone call to my insurance and that'll be an extra 100 quid please >:( "It indicates that you put yourself at a higher risk" What, parking under a CCTV camera? What's the likelihood that a bloke'll come along to service it while I'm parked and drop his ladder on my car? >:(
I cannot express in words how much I loathe insurance companies. I will be very careful how much of the truth I tell them in future. >:(

I have heard plenty of bad insurance company stories; especially when it comes to claims.
I must be one the fortunate, a couple of years ago I had one of those choices in life while driving down a single track lane....... Do I hit the local vicars car head on or center punch my lovely Mk2 Cav Sri 130 using a tree.. ::) two seconds later; the tree it was :-[
Two years before I bought the car for £120; after the insurance claim i'd got £500, then bought the car back for £50 then stripped it down to the shell keeping everything I could. :y
My point is the insurance company I use was brilliant! No fuss, No problems. ;)

NFU!!!!
Sorry it's not rude........ It's National Farmers Union & the branch I use is in Bury St Edmunds.
They know me quite well as my wife and I have changed our vehicle's 5 times in 2 years! :)

Well I still stand by my insurance company, They are very efficient.
I can now understand the frustration some people do have as today I have had the assessor round to look at the damaged caused from the accident dated 1st DECEMBER 2007!!!!!! >:(
So fingers crossed that my friend will be the bodyshop to do the respray ;)
