clivvy · 15-08-2011, 12:59

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

cant be a write off, surely??

Fez_uk · 15-08-2011, 13:00

hope everything is ok

they usually write them off as it's not worth fixing

rustic · 15-08-2011, 13:04

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.

into gear and got to a+e pronto.

Just spoke to Pete on the phone, he has hurt his hand quite badly and Sheila has whiplash, they have only just returned from the hospital, Sally is almost certainly a write-off, insurance co have given him a Galaxy, should be able get his chair in the back of that, but did not ask him, Rick
