Robert Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 well they came out to look and they said they will let me know next week what is happening. I have recieved a nice new vauxhall astra to drive around until this has all been sorted. If she is written off, i've found the perfect supra to replace her with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snooze Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Yeah - heard about the Astra (was at Phoenix with Mark when you called) - sounded like you were planning to thrash the b*ll*cks off of it! We had a brief discussion about the feasibility of dropping your engine into a Supra...... Hope that neck's okay, mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seb Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Hey mate, as a fellow Aristo owner I'm devastated to see this happen to your car but at least you're ok, bar the neck. Hope it all works out ok for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooze Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 lol - nice pic! Was just up with Mark for the afternoon for him to give my new MkII a once-over. He seemed pretty happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 Update: They said it's a write off blah blah blah, so i called up asking to talk to managment, to cut it short they offered me £3.5k to settle it now, i keep my car and its not written off. Bring on JAE i say also it will only cost £2k to fix so im told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooze Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Not a bad result, Robert. Would that be a Cat D? What about medical fees? Any real chance of claiming for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 it's not being registered as a CAT anything as they are paying to get it fixed myself. They said it would cost them between £3.5- £4k to fix, so the guy said to save the hassle they would give me £3.5k to get it sorted myself. My personal injury claim is being handled by my solicitor but they will take a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 is that the insurance company saying they will give you £3.5k to fix it yourself? Never heard of an insurance company doing that before. THey usually expect to see that the work is actually done. Wonder why this is different? JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 Yeah thats right, not sure why they said it but when i heard the car was being written off, i asked to speak to someone highier up. The top guy in the write off department contacted me and first of all he offered £2.5k but after sending him reciepts for what i've spent and then he agreed to pay the £3.5k i asked for.
