After two and a half years of ownership and no hiccups, some geezer decides to crash into the back end of my scoob, Has to be the most painful day of my life

 

did u slap him lol

 

Mate I was very close because he tried to blame me for speeding, he pulled out of now where and went into the rear of the car

 

I hope you are ok.

Is the damage that bad?

 

My backs really sore he was in some bloody huge 4x4, damage is quite bad, hoping they right it off, the car loses its soul after a hit lol

 

Bloody Xbox has died aswel

 

Ouch, got any pics for people to see? Or is it too painful to look at?

Where there's a blame there's a claim. I hope the back problems are only for a short time.

 

Well thats just rubbed salt into the wounds

 

how do i add images?

 

PhotoShack or PhotoBucket mate

 

here we go

 

How can he blame YOU for speeding when it was HIM who crashed into the BACK of you? Hope you get it sorted....

 

the panel inside has totally gone inwards, i think theres damage to the boot floor also

 

Thats exactly what I said to him and I think he then realised he didnt have a leg to stand on

 

nasty mate i can remember when some one hit my scoob and mine was parked on the drive its hard breaking

 

Sorry to hear about that mate gutted 4 you did you have some witnesses

My cousin had his scoob wrote off after a ford ranger smashed into him
He still ain't been payed out been 9 months since it happened

Hope you get it sorted

 

I bet he trys it on, you own a fast car so obviously speed everywhere.


Best of luck sorting it

PS

If you havent got a witness, GET ONE!. Leave nothing to chance.

 

shame as that will also make your insurance go up aswell even if your not at fault and keep your no claims i got ****ed with that one

 

I'm hoping it all goes well, with the claim got one witness, ruined my whole day

 

usually hits from the rear always end up their fault i thought

it is a pain in the ****, i had my 2nd ever car written off (fiesta ) was gutted
to make matters the worse the bloke (older gent) said i was weaving all over the road and caused the crash (as i indicated and pulled off the road to the left up my drive)
luckly for me i had an excop as a witness! or no doubt id have been shafted or a 50:50

hope you get it sorted quickly!
and remeber if they do offer you an amount for writing off the car they always seem to offer a sh*t amount first so generally dont accept the 1st offer
check around for cars close of the same age, condition etc for sale and show them how much they are going for

 

If they offer me to buy the car back at a good price would it be worth getting it fixed and selling it on, the car was mint pre accident. Was looking forward to the McRae gathering aswel, can't believe I'm gonna miss it

 

sorry to hear about your scoob mate,,, i would av put him on is ***...

 

not sure how much you drop flogging a car cat C or whatever, could check on autotrader etc for similar models with and without crash damage heh
im sure someone here will have a good idea though

when i had the fez written off the 1st amount they offered me i snapped up foolishly
but then i had paid hardly anything for it at a car auctions
shame really as i could have got a few hundred more outta them i reckon

 

Bad luck Mac,the roads are full of pr1cks these days...

 

They truly are mate just realised I'm gonna miss the McRae gatthering again

 

You could always drop on a cheap classic till you get paid out, as a stop gap then once you get paid out you could always break it (which seems to be the fashion these days).....

 

just buy it back for a few hundred quid repair it and keep it and have some fun with the left over money more mods nice holiday whatever you want least you know the car was good pre accident get it repaired properly and won't know any different

 

take no notice of the "dont claim" brigade. your injured, its not your fault. there is not a lawyer in the land that will even try get him out of that one. open and shut case.

 

Where is the McRae gathering? At Prodrive? When?

Sorry to heat about your RTA.

 

Cheers mate, I pretty much came to that conclusion, have already rang the insurance company, not bothered if insurance how's up by abit just don't want to loose out on the car
