briggie post some pics m8 we can assess the damage and see if its repairable

 

[clivvy]

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]

hope everything is ok

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

 

[rustic]

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.

As long as everyone is ok that is the main thing.Best wishes and I hope Sally is repairable.

I hope sally is the truck, and not your other half.

Im sure "WE CAN REBUILD HER" so us some pics to see.

 

[Dynamics]

I hope sally is the truck, and not your other half.

Yes, same here. I hope Sally is a pet name for your truck, and not the Missus!

 

[R1cho]

yep sally is his truck, pete m8 as i said earlier post some pics i'm sure the club can get the parts needed to fix her, the main thing is you're ok sally can be fixed m8

 

[harlowmaverick]

sorry to hear of this sad news, hopefully you and your better half are well.
Rick told me, he also mentioned your arm, hope you got your arse
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

 

[briggie]

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]

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

 

[briggie]

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]

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

 

[solarman216]

As Pete has gone, I will answer for him, from what he told me earlier, apparently Pete was stopped at lights and a brand new motability car hit him at speed (40 mph) the elderly driver hit the throttle instead of the brake, admitted in front of the police driver that was on the scene as he was following, pushed Pete forward 15 plus feet, I guess Pete had his hand on the wheel which probably tuned into his hand, and seat belt damage to his shoulder says enough, damn unlucky I call that, Rick

 

[R1cho]

yes very lucky, steering wheels can snap wrists when the contort, from what i know of pete though he will come through this and be fine and if as you said he buys sally back of insurance company he can get her back on the road.
