off to scotland in the morning.

[denviks]

yup....made the dessision tonight at about 9pm to go to scotland in the morning.  i have an 84 year old grand mother in forfar ( dundee ) that is feeling abit low. so we are going to head up there in the landie with the caravan on the back. should be a good test for it.......if you are out and about anywhere on the A34......M40....M6 tommorow then keep your eyes peeled for the green beast with stickers all over it......give me a wave

see ya all in a week :shock:  :D  :D

Have a nice trip !

Now I'm confused......

I thought the Landie was going in to be fixed on the insurance, have you:

A) got another in hiding

B) planned to have it fixed when you come back

C) got the replacement already and plan to put some serious mileage on it.

I will have missed you by now, but hopefully you've brought back some piccys from your trip.

 :D

Like the pics, looks like you had a good time.


Now your back, any news on the insurance front?

[denviks]

there sure is tim. they have admitted full liability. i had the call from their asseser while i was away. he is coming to my house tomorrow morning to look at the damage. he will then arrange for my landie to be repaired locally. i was very impressed with the way they are dealing with it. fast and efficiant which is a breath of freash air. with any luck i should know when its going in tomorrow so will let ya know......  :D

[TimM]

Have you any thoughts on WHERE you want it to go, when I had a claim for my Audi my insurers offered me a list of local 'approved' repairers, and I managed to hassle them into getting it fixed at the Main Stealer.

If you have a local garage you prefer, it might be worth giving them a ring to see if they have done any insurance work before, with a view to ensuring there is no reason that they can be excluded.

Just a thought
