Oh blooming eck Marco

It's things like Joes offer that makes me proud to be part of this forum.

Just when you were near getting it all completed. Thats gutting mate. Hope it gets sorted for you.

Also anything I can do too help just ask mate.

Thank you guys!!

Marco if you need a mechanic mate, give me a shout, I wont charge, just try to keep you mobile.

Are you ok??(not Marco, the Coupe!)

Hope you get it sorted dude!

You really have had bad luck following you around recently. Finger's crossed you can rebuild the back end without cost to you, and have your fortunes change in time for Spring and Coupe weather.

sorry to hear this mate.

must have been hard not to get out and kill the other driver!

yep. very true, nice to see.

are you still in bedford marco? not too far from me, shout if you need a hand with anything.

matt

Marco, sorry to hear this dude You haven't seem to have had much luck with the sprinty, but hopefully it's fixable. Fingers crossed for you mate.

i'd love to be able to disagree


kidding mate - like the others have said, just shout if there's anything you want/need for the coupe

V. sorry to hear about your car Marco ...however I feel it is my duty to correct this thread for the purple jumper-meister

Lmfao!!

Not had too much luck but it's got to be over now.

Well, small update.

Just spoken to the guy...

He cannot afford the repair job to pay cash.

Looks like it's going to be an insurance job.

Does any one know if admiral let you buy the car back??

I haven't put the boot pan pics up yet.

Weird how similar to barnacle Crash...

Keep possession of your car, do not give them any original documents unless or until you have reached a satisfactory agreement with them. By all means let them have copies.

It remains your property until then.

Think of the problems Porkypaul went through when his car was damaged and the insurers took it away.

Ultimately your claim is against the insurers of the other vehicle, you should be put in the position you were pre accident, including re-imbursement of any excess you have had to pay your insurers.

It will be a fight, but it can be won.

I did when some clown allowed a large fence to collapse on my immaculate old BXGTi

Good luck Marco.

Piece of cake marco ring me and you wont have any problems getting that sorted.. A curtesy car and some compo.. And i will get your excess waived before they even touch it.

I am expecting serious hassle from insurance over cost of the car.
I will win it no matter what, I'm sure the forum holds all the info I need on price comparrison!

Bit I want to buy it back, it deserves to live on... Not get scrapped or torn apart.

How do you buy the car back?

Just ask?

Call you tomorrow!

Easy to buy it back and i will go through buy back valuation etc etc it may be a repair...
Getting value up isnt hard either.
I hope the 3rd party is not with an aukward company as some are slow but i will be able to tell you what there like straight away and will slash the process times im dealing with a few cases like this right now.

Nice well dude, speak in the morning! 10am call!

you do have a legal right to salvage retention so just stand your ground mate

gutted for you mate

Sorry to see this Marco - You'll be fine mate, pick yourself up, do what needs doing, it'll all be fine.

All the best with it

damage doesnt look terminal but I guess its what lies underneath. Shame lad couldnt pay you in cash, sure his premium next yr will increase by £1000 anyway. Would be worth him borrowing it would work out cheaper for him in the long run.

Gutted for you also Marco. Stand firm, take advice from those here who can help or have suffered the same. All the best hope she'll be running again, as you say, she's too good to scrap

Gutted for you mate, But the picture you painted in the first post would seem it was badly damaged,

Luckily as we can all see its not, and can be fixed with ease... Just the fight you would have in keeping it from write off is a different story..

Part of having nice looking cars, quick cars, albeit with almost no value to an insurance company.

Fix it locally and be happy its not alot worse Marco,

Chrissy

Marco, there must be someone on here with some rear-end Sprinty bits (come to the midlands meet with some spanners - Theresa will be staying overnight ).

Doesn't look terminal - no insurance expert, but surely you can insist that as these are specialist cars they need specialist repairs, not the insurance company's local cheapo (but expensive) muppets. FFS it would save the insurance company money if they could be more flexible....

Good luck mate...

PS A tractor reversed into my van last year - one rear door for a Toyota Hiace....... insurance job through the NFU cost £1300 and the paint didn't match (a WHITE VAN ). I checked with Toyota afterwards and a new ready painted-door was under £300. Half an hour to fit....

Joe (leicester, good lad he is) has offered him some parts, maybe if by the time we meet marco has a list joe could bring them to the hotel?
