So I had a lovely spirited drive out Friday, roof down enjoying the winter sun covering about 75 glorious miles.

Then a bit later on when my wife got back from work I suggested a short drive out along the local seafront as the sun was still out, well 5mins from home and some Tw@ decided to ruin my day by pulling across in front of me :headbang:

To say I am gutted is an understatement, also heard today that it’s a”Total Loss”
As they estimate repairs at over 13k :tumbleweed:

So I await the call as to how much they are going to try and palm me off with.

Somehow don’t think it would be so bad if I’d wrapped it round a tree as at least it would of been my fault.

13k to repair 😱
Looks like a small front end shunt, bonnet bumper etc can’t see where the cost is from.

Shame though as it looks a lovely car.

I was thinking that as well. Did the airbags go off?
 
Utter disaster :cry: you don't need me to tell you what a great car that was Stuart , really feel for you mate as i know you cared for it a lot :(
Will take some replacing like for like & can only hope you get a decent payout to go hunting with .
Won't be quite the same on this years France trip without it :|
 
That’s crap, sorry to see this :cry: I’m guessing there’s more serious structural damage underneath that we can’t see.
 
Ive been there with another car several years ago - Just think, as I did, you can write from the comfort of your home and not from a hospital bed!
 
That's devastating man!! I can't believe it, I don't need to tell you that was a one of a kind car - can't imagine how crap you and your wife must feel right now, totally gutted for you mate :(
 
Damn it, could you maybe buy it off the insurance co & accept a lesser payment?
Might be worth getting it repaired yourself, maybe getting better prices?
