Mordey Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Got a call from the wife saying she's had an accident. Reversed into a Huge tree which was growing at 45% so missed bumper. Looks like new door, spoiler, glass and external/internal trim. She should have gone to Specsavers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mordey Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Car got picked up today by repairers, courtesy car vauxhall adam :(. Nice interior but awfull steering, no feedback.

MartynS Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Is that the car adam or just some guy who gives you piggybacks? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordey Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Rather have a piggyback than drive that thing. Even her indoors complaining it has no omph, horrible steering but she does like the dash and touchscreen radio, bout the only good point going for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordey Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Got her back, took three weeks. Done a good job, no difference in colour and they painted the bumper as well although this wasn't damaged. They did fit a chrome boot handle but got that changed. Total bill was £2600. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mordey Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 Speed i'm not sure as she kept out of my way. But at least the dog was ok. Every time she use's it now she gets reminded to watch out for trees. Need a reversing warning that once selected just constantly says mind the tree.

MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Was this a case of driving backwards whilst looking forwards do you think ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordey Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 Yep, sure was. She got distracted by a women waving to her trying to warn her of the tree. Women! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
