One word, and the word is ****...





Hit whilst waiting to turn right - just ran into the back of me... on the plus side, the chassis seems straight although the tailgate is broken, and nobody was hurt... also didn't have my 6 week old son in the car at the time.

Rentacrate arrives today so hopefully mine will be through the bodyshop soon.

I presume the insurance claim is all on the white van driver?

Yep all in hand, other party admitted liability so I am OK - just annoyed I'll be driving a Focus or something for a while.

Looks worse on the internet for some reason!

Don't worry Simon -as I always say to Chris, driving a pants car'll just make you appriecate the Scoob more ...he still refuses to drive the Corsa though!

Glad Ben wasn't in the car...hope it gets repaired asap...

Bad luck, i'm also a wagon owner but at least the van driver didn't try to get smart and shift the blame, could have been very nasty then.

Thanks folks, white van man was very apologetic and helpful, so hopefully it'll all come good no problems... meantime I am driving a silver 5 door Ford Focus on a '02' plate, so if one waves, it'll be me.

Sympathies with you mate, guess I was real lucky, just yesterday a TW@T in White Merc Van (double glazing) locked his wheels up screaming up my **** at a junction. I nearly sh@t myself Driver thought it was funny.

White van driver's, [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] sorry you are all TOTAL TW@T'S.

Dave

SCOOBY DUKE,

Not all White Van Driver's are total *****. I drive a white van and a scoob. It's not just the white van man, what about all the couriers **** drivers and bus drivers? And of course there are some scooby driver *****. It's not what you drive, it's how you drive it.

Hi Simon,

Hope you get it sorted soon. I’m sure your insurance company have their own/specified repair places but I have probably mentioned at the Hants meet that Darracott @ Poole sorted out my Sport twice..... and it came back as new. Couldn’t fault the work or customer care. Same colour as yours too..........

Car's off to the body shop on Monday so hopefully it'll be back on the road soon and I'll be rid of the Focus.
