Default WHAT A YEAR !!!!!!!

As some of you may know ive been having trouble with my transmission on the scooby for best part of most of the year trying to sort out problem after problem

well no need to sort out the problem as the mechanic who came to pick my car up yesterday eneded up crashing it and now the front end is pushed right in

so yet again im without a scooby and now back on the search for another one hopefully third time lucky

3RD party insurance only if he was collecting your car.....HE has to fork out for your car to be either repaired, or buy it from you in condition BEFORE he smashed it up!

not necessarily mate. as someone in the motor trade, he should have adequate trade insurance. only downside is trade insurance doesn't always give as high value as personal insurance. this is where a good insurance company / broker such as moley comes in.

when i do the detailing i am in a round about way covered 3rd party to drive the cars. however i don't and i'm not going to get into a trade policy that covers it. just incase anything like this happens. if the car needs moving or bringing to me the client is the person to move it.

****, sorry to hear this mate.

At least it's solved the sell it/keep it dilema you were talking about at the Lodge last month.

Hope you get it all sorted soon (Winter trip to MonkeyWorld coming up. )
