My car is dead
Absolutly gutted
Goin to mates house to fix computer late yesterday afternoon, as i come round a blind bend there is a man walking down the road towards me with a pram so i instantly braked and swerved as i did the backend went light but by the time i had reacted it was already going down a ditch the car finished up laying on drivers side in ditch. Before anyone says it i was not speeding as the road was slicky the police turned up gave me a breath test which i passed and said that they would not be taking any action. The person with the pram according to a witness who was behind me run off down the road
Just glad i didn't have the other half and baby daughter with me
So thats me done with scooby ownership for a while

Really sorry to read this Brad. Always difficult to swallow if it's not your fault. Hope you get it all sorted quickly. Plenty of bargains out there for when you get paid out, it's definately a buyers market at the moment.

Keep me posted as to where the car goes to be assesed as i no alot of people in bodyshops around this area Least then if there is anything u want off the car to sell then we can sort it. Would just be nice to get some extra money out of it! Things like exhuast, interior, engine!! Would happen just after u got it all sorted!
