Had a front on with a Mondeo with crap brakes in some lanes on the weekend.

Will now see what Elephant insurance are like (so far so good)

Will not use their repair companies so can anyone recommend a good body shop with Subaru history, as I need 2 quotes ASAP.

Drivers door and front wing to be replaced and sprayed up to look new.

Cheers

Sorry to hear about the smash. I've never used an independant bodyshop...any work that has needed to be done on mine has been done by Keith Prices' bodyshop in Abergavenny. Obviously being a Subaru dealer, they would be the best to see, although they may not be the cheapest....worth getting a quote from them though.

How is the insurance being worked out ? knock for knock, or is there responsibility on the other driver or yourself ? If it was the other drivers fault I would insisit on a Subaru dealer, whether KP or CVC in Cardiff, if you have had dealings with them

Hope you get it sorted

Cheers Gareth will try Keith Price on Monday.

Well I braked and stopped in time but the Mondeo went into a skid and hit me! No witnesses.
But it was on a country lane, so it looks like a knock for knock. I will see what my legal cover can do to recover the excess.

Looks like £1500-£2000 damage, so def. through the insurance.

sorry to hear that arron i guess you had stoped put the handbrake on and had started writing your insurance company details down by the time the mondeo stoped then lol

hope your ok though you know with that sore neck you got lol

cant rec, anyone sorry though but K_P,s got to be good???

NWS - i was thinking he going to stop, any minute now, i know its a ford but he will stop, (puff of smoke-skid starts), any minute now and he will stop, put car into reverse, BANG to late.

And the worst think is, is that I'm looking around for a new scoob at the moment.

Never mind, at least my neck brace (cough cough) will only have to be on until the insurance - sorry the neck is better.

lol arron what already a new car ,,,,

any jobs going i got good gcse,s about 5 e an f grades lol

what you looking at then ??? you should see the spec-c go round the track at silverstone wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

looked at one or two Prodrive/STI models.

Also toying with a P1, as I loved the old shape, and the P1 is an classic.

p1 mate you know you want to

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm lol

Sti 5/6 mate. Better kit than a P1 and you can get 'em in black which just looks sexy as.... muck? Ruck? duck?
You get the idea! :D
Agree with NWS though, spec-c is definitely the way to go, they seem to be getting rave reviews everywhere they are going so far!.

Sorry to hear about you`r crash. Hope you`re o.k.
If you looking for a new or used scooby there`s a guy by me that gets imports , got a web site to have a look.

Jane said she hadn`t seen you for a while

Phew - other driver admitted liability.

Booked into Keith Price for new door and wing.

Just had an arguement with the insurance company about the week long car hire

Offered me a Vectra (what the fcuk) but managed to get a 2.3litre Merc C class with tiptronic gearbox fully loaded from a performance hire company in London - Thank you Direct Line.

Woooo Hooooo

If you are thinking of a classic STi or P1, let me know and I will take you out for a spin in mine.

I am the guy who waves and flashes, usually between Staunton and Monmouth.

V Nice blue scoob. I can imagine it sounds awesome with that big sound tube sticking out the back.

Thank you for the offer, but I have manage to test drive a P1/STI/Honda S2000 so far.

The P1 is awesome and has the looks to match, but just concerned about doing 27'000 - 30'000 miles a year in it.
Honda S2000 - great sound/performance, handling worrying.
Leaning to a STI at the moment (or maybe a Merc after next week?)

Cheers

Whatever you do..DON'T go to Lanes garage or Autolaque in abergavenny..they are notorious in these parts for being terrible.

Don't go to St Woolos Auto's in Newport either.

My Mrs works there :eek::eek::eek:

does she do the repairs then sean <daiscooby>

hehe bit of double sided sticky hear a bit of blue-tack there and colour code with a bit of tip-ex
