Default Oops.... This won't buff out with t cut....



Well that's the end of that C63.... Written off last Saturday night on a dark wet country road.... Admiral insurance were great to deal with and offered me £450 more than I paid even though I sent them the sales invoice as they told me it was worth more.....paid out in full 10 days after crash, very helpful and friendly all throughout and id highly recommend them in future ....going to see another C63 at the weekend.....

2 wheels smashed...back wheels at a wonky angle....back bumpers smashed ...oil coolers and rads pushed right back , engine still ran but chugging like a tractor and broken power stearing rack I hit a high concrete upstand at 60 so it smashed everything below the lights bounced off it and spun around and went backwards into the embankment...

I don't have the facilities or the know how to put it back together properly so ive taken the insurance money and im going to buy another at the weekend.

I kept the front grill and the number plate mount with grass still stuck in them as a momento...

Nice, is it that estate you linked to?

I like it but not keen on the phone section of the dash, reminds me of a vauxhall omega unfortunately.

Did you say "watch this" before it happened?

glad you are ok and got a good payout. Probably some nice bits for someone to salvage. I imagine you are not the first to bend one.

cheers...as the copper said it could have been so much worse as I pinballed across the road between on coming traffic without hitting anything....

just phoned my insurance....im picking up a new C63 on sunday and my premium for the next 6 months is £5.35 a month.....

insurance in the past has always ended in a shafting....admiral have been a pleasure to deal with throughout this claim.

It is nice to hear that your Insurance Company did the right thing and sorted out your claim quickly. Hope you have better luck with the new one!!
