Don't fix it - really would look like the Quantom of Solace Aston .

When you read how this happened its a little Bizarre - are we sure SMERSH didn't just narrowly miss getting our man ?
 
If anyone is wondering whether or not to tint their rear lights, then please refer to the above picture...
 
Sure it's not advertising shot. Look at the name of the shop.......

Should have gone to Specsavers.....
 
I'm perplexed. The Corsa left that same petrol stand. Entered a roundabout. Then managed to reenter the petrol stand. And yet was out of control. You would think the Corsa would have under-steered and gone off long before doing a full 360. Unless there was a petrol stand across the road and it came directly. Of course it seemed to be a poorly written article. I recall that the cost of the AM was mentioned at least 3 times. But lacked detail about the actual accident.
 
incase you havent read the sotry...

Women drivers... cant park for s**t :fuelfire:
 
...and she gave an interview with the headline comment from her being 's**t happens...'.

I bet that consoled the Aston owner.
 
Us zed owners can take another thing from this, don't just be careful picking you car parking space, be careful picking you refueling spot too :)

Doesn't look like a write-off from that one photo.

I thought that, obviously it would cost a lot to repair as an Aston, but to be written off?... I can only assume there was further unseen damage (rear left wheel must have slammed pretty hard into the pump kerb for example).

Can you imagine being the Aston owner, in the forecourt paying for your fuel...

It says in the article he was refueling the car at the time... so actually quite lucky not to get injured
 
Could be as low as 80-90 to replace like for like if it was an 08-09 Model... I use the Low as a comparative term
 
Knowing that petrol station quite well, I'm really struggling to figure how the hell she did that. It says she left the forecourt, and the exit to the petrol station is on a small roundabout. That means she would have circled the roundabout almost fully. Getting the speed up to lose control to that extent over the distance is quite frankly beyond belief.

That's of course assuming the article is accurate, and she did leave the forecourt.
