Fucking cunts need taking out.... I would quite happily go round the country sniping the cunts in the head, would make a great public service.
Somthing really needs to be done about these fuckers, they think they are untouchable.

Shit luck that mate. Feel for ya. Pikey cunts.
Walk away though mate, in a few years you'll look back and wonder why you bothered.
Take the money have a holiday and break the fucker up. More to life than cars.
Hope it works out for ya.

How the fuck can the police not persue pikey gypo scum properly? Any normal Joe would have been read the riot act and given a load of shit but these arse holes seem to think they are above the law as the police seem to damn scared to deal with them properly.
Burn the cunts house/caravan down, if the police come tell them to fook off as they'll need to actually catch you with the matches to do anything.

They need to catch them driving the van? Thats sound isnt it-sorry for your trouble fudgey and hope theres no lasting injuries to either you or will.
Load of bollox the attitude of the police have-if your tax was out theyd have impounded the car but some cunt can smash into you and drive away without hassle

what a cunt, it looks bad but is only metal so can easily be repaired by some1 who knows what they are doing.
defo get it sorted tho, youll regret it if you give up now.
just leave it in the garage for a while then get it sorted another time.

I am sure that could be fixed, seen a lot worse repaired ! going to need a tug for sure though.
Saying that I read your whole build thread last night and can only imagine how you feel, its been a long old journey getting that car ready for some pikey coont to come and wreck it on its maiden voyage.
I hope you get it sorted, get crimbo out of the way then make a decision, I might not end up being that bad if the insurers pay out a hefty amount and you can buy it back as you may be able to fix it and fix the others you wanted to do but couldn't afford.

I reckon the pull dozer would get the worst out but realistically I wouldn't do it as I think the cars cursed fella!!!
My offer still stands about borrowing mine,if you cover my fuel I'll show you how to set it all up and give you a hand to get started pulling it.
Out of interest do you have any idea how fast they were going?the damage looks quite severe as the sierras a reasonably tough car?
Like i said,keep up the personal injury side of it as that will be worth at least Ł2k each to you,softens the blow a bit.you can buy the car back,if they get arsey then say it's got sentimental value to you,they usually go for it as it saves them a fortune in recovery/storage etc.

absolutely gutted mate, glad everyone is ok.
chances are the transit owner saw the condition of the car and figured the cost would be immense so ran on whim fearing that they would never get insured again.
i can remember when i first got the p100 built about 2 days after the MOT it got rear ended fairly hard at some lights and tow bar (which i had never really liked) took all the impact, pushed it in about 8 inches but there was only a slight bow in the tailgate which i just replaced. :') the corsa was uninsured, untaxed and undrivable, the driver got a right bollock from the police.
keep the tow bar on it now, stops it grounding the skib out when i launch it and its like an anti cunt device, they can run into me if they like, but they will take the brunt of it.
best of luck with the insurance and the car mate

Gutted fella Good your alright thou, but that car looks properly mullered in the last lot of pictures. Any idea what your going to do because that has to be a write off yes?
How did you report it to the cops?
We had a van drive into my Mrs car a couple of months back. We basically are now footing the bill because the insurance will go up so much if we claim its just not worth it for a car we are already paying 50% of its value a year in insurance.
When we reported out problem to the police, they didn't give a fuck mate, really really unhelpful. Yet, when it comes to normal average jo, yep we get screwed all the time.

Having a bit of a scout about today on my travels.. and Found the van that hit the car, sat on a driveway. so I've let Fudgee know where the guy (appears) to live.
also having a closer look at the car with Fudge today.. I dont know if the shell is saveable, it looks like its possibly twisted it, the door on the passengers side deffo aint sat right in its frame anymore, and a couple of other little bits make it look like the shell might well be a goner. but im sure Fudge will say what the insurance assesor says later.

would be a shame if you gave up now with all the work you have done on it, from a guess of what i can see all you would need to do is replace the boot floor area? cut out the panel holding the lights and number plate and weld a new one in, and pull out the rear quarter? and new tailgate, bumper and lights? shame to see another good car ruined by scum
