Not so good new im affraid, today i was called by Baylis of Gloucester a vauxhall main dealer who have indicated to me my omega mv6my pride and joy may be uneconomical to repair as its a 98 plate car so i can expect it to be written off...Gutted...

If your man accepts full liability for the accident take £500 off him (cash, not through the insurance) and cancel the insurance claim.

You will easily fix the car for less than that and still not have it written off.....   :y
