That bad news,

Sold my S1 end of last year, bought a Fiesta Zs to pootle around in, the end of January a cab drive jumped a red light and smacked me in the front end, he is claiming he never jumped a red light

I would say I would have been more pissed off if it was the S1 but to be honest, It would have given me the reason to make it minty.

Guess you just have to take these things on and go with them.
