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

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

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.

Have you considered swapping Mindel for a Matilda, Jeeb?

Heel fast, Bud. Hopefully the car is put back together in short order as well.

I reckon Jeebs should buy a Mastiff (vehicle not dog :p)

Would like to see the result of a vauxhall crashing into either of those

Yes please!

Hope Top Gear are listening :p

Haha. I'm sure Jeremy Clarkson would oblige. Lol

Find me one that's Road legal for under 3k and I might just do that lol mastiff or matilda... Choices choices...

Any of you guys on Facebook and don't mind doing me a favour? Could you drop me a pm?

Who isn't on Facebook these days? Lol

Tis true lol just need a willing victim :-D

Ok...I'll bite lol

Who isn't on Facebook these days? Lol

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!

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!

Who isn't on Facebook these days? Lol

I'm not.

Can't stand it.

Same here :P

And here :P. Well I use Facebook messenger if that counts, just cos it's better than texting.

Not on facebook here either

Didn't realise they were getting rid of the lifetime warranty?

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 ;)

Haha I would have thought that I just didn't know if it's genuine they are getting shot of it?

Yes they are, from January 2015 all cars will go back to a 3 year 60,000 miles warranty. #fail

Hahaha... Owned...

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?
