My car’s mashed

This makes tough reading, I’m very sorry this has happened to you. Hopefully the damage won’t be to extensive and sliding over the gravel helped to absorb some of the impact and thereby reduce the potential damage

You just never know when something bad is going to happen.
If you liked the car and it had no problems I hope its fixable.
If you didn't and it had a few niggles then hopefully it isn't.
Maybe time for an upgrade.
Was this at your new house or have you not moved yet?

Hi, I haven’t moved yet & that makes the problem worse as I’m not to keen on traveling a 400mile round trip to pick it up after the repairs. Especially if I’m not happy with it for any reason!
Waiting to hear if they can get it to Somerset for the repair work to be carried out.
I’m supposed to be moving in 8 days time.

Sorry to see this Rob, what a scumbag :x As others have said, looks like the gravel allowed it to slide and take some of the energy out of it. Not what you need at anytime but a nightmare with an impending move. Hope all get's sorted soon & smoothly
 
Do you have an idea of the extent of the damage yet Rob? just wondered if its drivable, and you can stall the repairs till you move,, Just mentioned it to Josh (my son you met at Beaulieu), and he is gutted for you,
I am really hoping you are not going to say this car has done 18000k, as that does seem to be your bogey mileage

s**t man. I'd be livid.

Should be straight to execution for the toerag

Hope insurance sorts u out...
 
I drove it off the railway sleeper today and it’s not as bad as I feared, I don’t know how but the front bumper seems to be virtually unscathed :o
Needs a rear bumper & boot lid repair, new rear light and some small bits&bobs, after speaking to my insurance co they’ve kindly agreed to waver my excess charge.

I would have been incandescent if my prize false acacia had been damaged, luckily it’s still in rude health :P

Just read this Rob, sorry to see your P&J damaged like that. hope it's sorted soon and your happy with it.
 
Sorry to see this Rob. You wouldn't think in a million years that could happen with your car so far from the road. Hope you get it all sorted and shiny again soon :thumbsup:

Ta, I live at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and have a pretty sizeable driveway-I still can’t believe the low life vermin hit my car. Smartbear towers feels sullied somehow :x

This is what the oxygen thief navigated in order to smash my motor up, looking up from the end you can barely see the road!

He did well to get between the Micra and that little silver thing.

Wazzocks :cry: Were they being persued and turned into Smart Bear Towers, thinking it was a lane? :?

Exactly this ^^ police were chasing the scumbag who jumped from the car & legged it leaving his car careering down my drive & into the zed, it’s pushed it around 10ft into and over a railway sleeper at the end :o
Rob

No shortage of witnesses then. :roll: Was the handbrake off? Hopefully the damage is just the bumper and tracking.

On the bright side moving house will at least mean you can put this one behind you too Rob. :(

Handbrake on, leaving long trails in the gravel-at least it didn’t hit anything solid in front :cry:
