Default just had my car written off...

as some of you may be aware through FB someone crashed into sarah on sunday. Anyway had a phone call about 10mins ago, "mr Spall you car is beyond economical repair". feel a bit sad really never had a car written off before. So may be back in a scoob sooner than i thought (just dont tell Sarah) lol

OMG....... First I had heard of this... not on FB so probably that's why...

Hope Sarah is OK, that's the most important part, the car is just metal and easily replaced......... even if the replacement might be a scoob...

Paul,

Glad Sarah is okay, as Looie has said, as long as she is okay that is all that matters, the car is literally a recyclable lump of metal ....... People aren't

Glad they wrote it off - as it would never have been the same car again, even after the repairs, and more importantly everyone was okay!

And new car shopping is fun!!
