bloody hell Peter I was only speaking to you an hour ago. Hope you and Sheila are ok.

cant be a write off, surely??

My heart goes out to you, the most important part is people, and as long as they are ok

However as much as metal can be replaced, it still hurts inside, I would be gutted if anything happened to my Mav, it's now part of the family. 16 + years.

I would certainly be stressed, and no money replaces what you have known for so long.

I drive mine with the knowledge that even a dented door or wing would write it off, the trade value would not replace it with a vehicle in the same pristine condition as mine.
To get a car that was as reliable as mine I would probably have to spend £10,000 +

I know you have spent a lot of time and stress on Sally, just when you get it right "this" happens ( "This" is an anagram of Sh*t)....

If the damage is small, it might be possible to buy it off the insurance and get the parts replaced by spares that are easily available from members on this site..

best wishes,
Rustic.

thanks , folks sorry its taking a long time to type but im using my weak hand i( left )

sheila is quite badly hurt and is in a lot of pain despite medication .

my arm/hand is badly , so is my shoulder ( due to seatbelt )

it looks likesally is going to be wrote off , im gutted

R1cho · 15-08-2011, 22:52

sorry to hear the bad news pete, with your first message i assumed that you and sheila were both unharmed, if you need anything and we can help i'm sure you know the club will be there for you, for now you and sheila get plenty off rest and get better, try not to worry about sally as getting your selves better is far more important right now.

well wishes
steve

just been out to have a close look at sally , she doesnt look all that bad on first sight , bumper is damaged as is lights obviously , rear door wont open and looks like its bent upwards ,door behind drivers door is hard to open and makes a horrible noise when opened ,drivers door has dropped a bit too ,spare wheel cover and spare wheel is dented , because it looks like the car that hit me went under the bumper and lifted me up before pushing me, i suspect that the damage may not be obvious on first inspection and probably is a lot worse than it appears due to him going under my car .

my spare wheel broke his windscreen to give you a idea

incidently it was a peugot 207 sw saloon that hit me , and that was totally wrecked

i think the damage is structural mate but we will wait and see , the insurance assessor is picking her up later today to examine , but i suspect its a foregone conclusion

briggie · 15-08-2011, 22:59

of course the hand / arm i hurt is my " good one " the one not affected by my last stroke , so its kinda more of a injury to me if that makes sense because i use that arm/hand to hold my stick / control my wheelchair , which i cant at the mo .

insurance company coming tomorrow to take sally away to assess her

they gave me the option of a auto gaylander , or a auto galaxy ghia ( guess which one i chose lol )

R1cho · 15-08-2011, 23:07

what exactly hit you m8 to cause injuries and damage? after all our trucks aren't the smallest things on the road
