    Bloody unlucky Spesh - glad you're ok though!

    Did other person stop?, and is claim going through?
    Maybe you could look into cost of DIY repair and write-off value and see what you can do?

    Good luck!

    Fun in the twisties!

    Sorry to hear about that Spesh, glad your ok.

    Be carefull..... some insurance companys aren't allowing salvage rights on write offs anymore.If you tell the insurance and they say the car's a write off...thats it, end of story, you have no way of getting said car back and doing it yourself. Its aways worth getting it assesed privately first before bothering your insurance, I've seen stuff being written off after fairly minor accidents due mainly to the cost of labour.

    Oh, I nearly had a smash myself today when some stupid cow decided to pull out without looking first. God there are some reall scary people out there on the road......

    The car was only at the side of the road 10 mins, mate of mine towed it for me, now it is at a secret location, where no one can take it, as for insurance, cant claim off him, not insured, so will get it done myself, shouldnt cost to much, time to start calling some favors from some friends!!
