Phil 87 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Glad to hear the car is not a write off, hopefully the corsa is :D I would think the Corsa probably is - it looked like it wouldn't be worth the parts and labour needed to fix it :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 I couldnt agree more, thanks again guys! 1 and yeah, hes got a light, front bumper needs repair and front wing is gone.

Hyrule Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Damn unlucky mate. And typical corsa driver. I am praying to all the deities in the heavens, to not let anyone car hit, me let alone a corsa. After all the love and care that has been put into my Focus, I think i would get done for assault, if some inconsiderate person hit me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 I was tempted I must say, but having sat there and letting it run across my mind it was my wife that meant I didn't. His behaviour was aggressive if nothing else towards my wife, I had to be professional if nothing else. Goes to show no matter what you do, you risk losing everything because some meat head over estimates his ability... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 This kind of thing would be so bad for most of you guys who have spent so much time and money modifying your car and it gets written off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Agree entirely, but at least you have positivity in knowing what happened was done To your car in its best state 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Well, in the grand scheme of things, its all going well! I decided I wasnt going to be out of pocket in the slightest for this, so Adrian Flux's compandre company are AI Claims, I spoke with them initially 4 hours ago. Gave them details of the events, told them what happened, they saw fairly quickly that things are not my fault. I spoke to them and they are starting the ball rolling for repairs - they were going to arrange a hire car when mine goes in for repairs. I told them I was not confident or comfortable driving my children in Mindel in the poor wounded state she is in, they immediately marked Mindel as "un-roadworthy" on their systems, meaning everything still goes ahead but a rental is going to be with me within a couple of hours! So, its not my fault, and its all going well - granted I wish Mindel never found herself in this situation in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Any idea what they are sending you? Hopefully nothing too impractical... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Sadly not but it's similar size and engine size. Last time I got a Toyota this time who knows. Could be interesting and it's exciting waiting lol. If they give me a 2014 mondeo they might have to prize the keys out of my bones lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 As long as it's not an Astra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyrule Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 As long as it's not an Astra Haha if it is any kind of vauxhall I think jeebs will keel over and pack it in, due to stress. :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Jeebs would report them to his local Force for cruel and unusual treatment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Haha, if they do send me a vauxhall I will actually cry. Hell, if there's no excess there might be an accident with a solid object. I never even thought I might get a vauxhall but now you guys have me sat on the edge of my seat praying right now.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never even thought I might get a vauxhall but now you guys have me sat on the edge of my seat praying right now.... dont worry jeebs if they do its just a temporary solution and if they do don't let yourself become a vauxhall driver don't let the crappy car pull you in so that you might actually want one. Maybe you could ring your insurance company and request that they don't send a Vauxhall out to you and say in the nicest way possible if they do that it might meet mr.Sledgehammer. just watched the video and your right there wasnt a car coming behind him at speed unless hes on about them cyclists cant imagine them being fast enough though. There is one interesting thing did the driver of the mondeo that was turning stop he would have seen the corsa coming aswell?? could have possibly witnessed the accident also 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Yeah the mondeo owner works at the hotel and is to contact me in due course but there testimony is likely unnecessary but I want to get it never the less. If they send me one, if I don't hang myself first I will certainly not be sucked into its wannabe charm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexp999 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Lol, might as well labour the engine, forget to change up gears and bump it up a few curbs while you have it then.
