Can't believe how easily that has sliced right through the bonnet.

Glad you're ok mate. That could have been a lot worse.
Good luck on sorting insurance out and buying a new car

If she pulled from a side road then it won't be your fault anyway mate so don't worry about that!

What you gonna do with your payout? You gotta get another Series 2, a nice 90' spec I reckon mate!

Fookin hell

Glad your ok mate. Just need to wait for the insult the insurance co tries to call a payout. Unless they come up very good, decline the first offer. Had loads of grief after our 2i was mashed we were arguing with insurance for ages about the value. All the time the salvage co kept calling wanting to pick the car up

She couldn't see a bright red car directly in front of her with a dark green back ground?

Should she even be driving then?

Sorry about the car!

Exactly Daz, if you knew the area up there mate you'd be even more shocked!

The roads are fookin massive, THE most open roads in Bournemouth (bar dual carrigeways) without doubt!

Chris, dont fuck about with engine conversions and Mk6's mate, see what the insurance say and get another Series 2, you know you loved this one cos you didn't want to sell it the other day!

well i really want decent management system and if i get hold of a real cheap mk6 swap it all over then the money i have from the insurance would cover the conversion, il hav a newish car with no rust too, if got hold of a mk6 i could hav it all done pretty quick as its a simple ish swap

You could get any more of a contrast between colours!! Looking at the picture, the whole area is just grey and green! Even the cars appear to be shades of green/grey!!!

Then the daft bint hits the only car that stands out!!!! For god sake, don't buy a bright orange or yellow car otherwise you'll have everybody aiming for you!!

DazC Mate I reckon thats what she's had to of done, take aim and fuckin fired it!

cuvner Fair enough dude, up to you but i'd be a little less hasty, see what the insurance offer you to begin with, if it's shit then i'll pop over and find a few ways of getting more out of 'em with you

Aren't insurance giving you a courtesy car ??
If not, get her insurance to pay for one whilst you are inconvenienced.
