IM SO ****** OFF!!

[Matt.t.]

got my bargain shogun lwb (see my mitsi thread i started)

and i loved it. diesel pulled like a train and just needed a air con regas, no problem as my mate does it!

bit of a clean up is all it needed and some tax, all done online waiting for my disk,

excellent i thought.. only played in some fields near me as only got semi road tyres


brought it on the 30 mile trip to work and boy was it economical compared to my impreza (not as much as my 106 D though! lol) but still must of been doin 30ish to the galon!!


showed the guys at the office and they was amazed at it, looked brilliant,


Parked up, alarm on nice and safe as usual,



NOW




Some polish lorry driver delivering some parts to a factory unit realised he couldnt get down the street (centre of kings lynn and a bit tight!) backed up and has hit my new toy!!!!!


i cant drive it home, rear is all creased and door is [!Expletive Deleted!]....

dont look good...  i did honestly feel like crying!!!


waiting for tow truck to come and rescue it and see what insurance company say. Was hoping to fit my phone kit in it today

[Bunnie]

awww poor you

but if it was one of your other cars... he may not have seen it @ all?


hope you get things sorted tho, i know how much it sucks to be with out a play toy...

[AbyssDJ]

he probably didnt understand the concept. should have had a sign that read "HERE IS MY CAR!" in polish

Make sure you have (or can get) reciepts for all money spent on the car recently. This will help wth the insurance valuation should it get written off. Also look on Auto Trader and print off all of the high priced ones of similar year and spec.
  As the fault was not yours, give help hire a call http://www.helphire.co.uk/

 Really helped speed up a claim I had when we had a non fault accident and they take care of it on your behalf.

cheers guys, yeh i think it will be a write off!

im soooo gutted that car was mint! well for its age it was

Make sure his insurance company pays up so you are not out of pocket.

I know how you feel, I had some numpty i work with smash into the back of my car.... B****y annoying.

[Matt.t.]

yeh i had it fully insured etc.... so just gotta wait and see!

[barnhill4x4]

Just ring help hire, you will be suprised at what they do. They will handle the lot, give you a courtesy car (probably a new Disco as it is an equivalent) and then do the claim for you, You dont even have to pay your excess and claim it back

[Matt.t.]

well i have a lupo at the min!! bag of crap!! had a call insurance assesor has already seen it and its a write off.... chassis is fudged so he must of hit it right!!
