Although I didn't post earlier, my old Sprinty (which I gave to Ms RK's little girl) was hit by a drunk driver while parked outside my house. Damage included a badly dented driver's door, front wing and a slight dent to the bonnet. Pre damage condition good but far from perfect, 68000 miles, R reg.
Quote for repairs was £1700. The repair has been authorised
, and the car is currently being done. I'd already told her to expect a right off and look to buying the salvage. As it happens Sheilas Wheels decided it was worth saving, so no trawling for second hand parts.
Car still isn't worth £1700 though.
