Sorry to hear about this mate, as I spun my MkIII into a barrier coming off a roundabout once on an adverse camber, in the wet with almost slick rear tyres but still legal, on a quiet Sunday morning rushing to clock in at work 26 miles away and knowing that I would only just make it. Luckily it was minor damage and I fixed it. Tough cars them.
I'm glad you're doing the right thing though, re. the other car but see if you can settle that in cash. Legally, of course, you 'have' to 'fess up but it will be expensive for a long time vs. a one-off payment. That is if they don't claim for whiplash, of course!
At least you didn't roll through a brick wall and land in someone's living room on your roof like a guy I worked with once. He was on speed he said, chasing his mate around a corner in an Escort late one evening and he lost control, went through a wall and then literally into the house. He just got out of the upside-down car, right infront of the sofa and said of the damage, "Oh, that'll be ok" etc. and kept talking about how he was going to be a big shot in The City (as he was a stock trader back in the 80's) and the couple who were sitting watching telly just stared at him in shock.
Just incase you need a laugh, no offence guys!
I just made the names up and Nigel is the one on the right.
Lamp, Stock Supra & Two Smoking Tyres
"What was that Nigel? A wounded Zebra?"
"No, 'arry, I said Supra, you Muppet!"
"Right, get the bricks 'arry. I'm 'avin' the wheels and young Trevor can 'ave the stereo. 'e's good wiv electrics, aincha my Son? 'e's got one of those Nundildo Sexboxes."
"Now 'urry up, before those ***kin' pikeys see it. They'll 'ave it stripped bare before you can say caravan."
"I ***kin' 'ate pikeys."
"Shut up 'arry and get that jack ready."
