sad day :(

S7000EY · 06-11-10, 02:54 PM

today i got a call from my girlfriend telling me she has just crashed my car, she was in a line of traffic and was just staying with the flow when the car in front started to turn right then left than slammed on the brakes and my girlfriend hit the back of there car with the front left of my car so we now have a broken front bumper, scratched headlight, creesed and scratched wing and scratched door aswel as a fair bit of damage to the front wheel

going to have to pay up for the car infront aswell so gonna lose my no claim's so more than likely wont be able to insure my car again next year

no way mate,thats the thing,with the weather changing,darker nights earlier etc,theres always crashes at this time of year,hope its not as bad as it looks,and can be sorted

S7000EY · 06-11-10, 03:26 PM

yea it can be sorted no problem its just cosmetic damage really but my problem is i may not be able 2 insure it next year so may have to sell and buy something boring

Sorry to hear that.... that would be my worst nightmare having to recieve a call like that.

In fairness it wont ever happen as the GF is not allowed (by insurance people) to drive my car - she is also too scared of breaking it

Is your insurance high because of the mods or your age?
The 2.0 derv isnt exactly the highest insurance group, and if it was because of the mods then there might be an insurance company that will cover you with them for cheaper, like adrian flux or somewhere
