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 :o

Just glad i didn't have the other half and baby daughter with me

So thats me done with scooby ownership for a while :(

scoobybrad 03 November 2008 04:41 PM

Cheers chaps, had phone call from insurance company there gonna remove car from compound in couple of days and asess the damage and if repairable they will fix it, Dont think this will buff out thou lol

53 03 November 2008 04:44 PM

I think it's economically dead. Leaving the boot opening exposed in this weather isn't going to improve its chances ? Do they cover them ?

scoobybrad 03 November 2008 04:48 PM

So do i mate looks like ill be lookin for new car till i build my no claims back up then see wat happens after that, it werent covered when i went there so probably not

Are you with Keith Michaels? If not, give Moley a call, I'm sure he'll be able to help.:thumb:

millzy555 03 November 2008 08:46 PM

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!

Na not with them was gonna ring them in march when it was time for my renewal would of had 5 years NCB then so would of been able to protect them but that aint happeing now, Any ideas if i loose all myy NCB or just some of them?

53 03 November 2008 09:18 PM

NCB's has never been an issue with KM's, the price usually makes them irrelevant tbh.:)

scoobybrad 03 November 2008 09:26 PM

So if i managed to get another and ring them the price i get off them would be pretty much the same give or take a bit wether i had ncb or not?

Correct me if im wrong?

Spec'c'57 03 November 2008 09:31 PM

Depends on how good a deal you had before, But Moley gave me an Excellent price that wiped the floor of the others on the spec'C'
