jeebowhite Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Perhaps I should confess that as I left the hotel I was drifting all the way down the drive way, I and I was in fact drifting at lightspeed at the time of the collision which is why it looks like I'm not moving :-D Well the pain continues today, I now have a new set of solicitors, right now I need to sign the papers so they can get on (tomorrow) and I'm praying they send me straight onto physio. Pain aside, I am impressed how Adrian flux 's third party are handling this claim on their behalf. If you should ever need them the company is called quindell, formerly a I claims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Oh and Martyn, if I knew for a second I could transfer my bad luck to this car I would do it, so if anyone knows of a way.... Perhaps if I get desperate I might excrete my luck on the drivers seat and pay for any cleanup costs blaming a dog lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Well, I am quite disappointed now, apparently my local Ford dealer "failed security checks" whatever that means (and I will never find out!) so they will not be getting the job unfortunately. So there is someone coming out on Friday and they will drive the car away to the repair centre. things are moving well I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kye Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Have you considered swapping Mindel for a Matilda, Jeeb? http://anzacsteel.hobbyvista.com/Armoured%20Vehicles/Images/Matilda02.jpg Heel fast, Bud. Hopefully the car is put back together in short order as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisroberson99 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 So sorry to hear this Jeebs! Glad you and the wife are ok though! Nice hire car! :D My dads RR got rear ended the other week, I bet you can't guess the car.... Anyway, got a Mercedes ML thing, which was nice, but glad to have the RR back now! Hopefully it will all get sorted quickly! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisroberson99 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Oh and btw, on Facebook I posted a comment on Vauxhalls page about them getting rid of the lifetime warranty getting scrapped. They obviously didn't like my comment as it was deleted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marks12 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Didn't realise they were getting rid of the lifetime warranty? its simple james the warranty is costing them too much they realized they can't make a decent reliable car so they may as well be benefiting from the repairs to the vauxhalls can't charge for a repair if the car is under warranty ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marks12 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 can i Ask you a question Jeebs? well im going to anyway. Why the sudden interest to why they are getting rid of there warranty??? unless you are secretly falling in love with the Astra they have provided with the rental car? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
