Guys, I've spoke to the lad and he's a sound fella. If the poilice call him to court he said he wouldn't go because he knows how I'm feeling and doesn't want to cause me any grief. It was a pure accident and all he wants is his car repairing anyway. Hope we can pay for his car to be repaired...
I have no idea acctually :-/. Going to college in Bristol for these next 2 weeks so my parents will have to do most the sorting out. Feel sooo gutted :(
I guess just too arrogant meggers. I'm confident in my driving and took the chance hoping I'd never crash. But everyone takes there eyes of the road from time to time and this time my luck struck bad...
I think everything inside the engine would be okay, but they'll notice everything else. Nah it's in my name. Paying just £634 with elephant TPFT with 2 years no claims and my parents on as additional drivers. Could see that going up to like £1500+ maybe if it goes through them? If it's...
Thanks bubbles. Yeah my pride and joy may go down the drain :-/. I now know better about declaring mods, I would of done anyway but it was completely my parents decision that I'd be 'okay' with not declaring them. If it's a write off I'd see if I could sell the bits on here and ebay?
The other guy is quite genuine. Said he hasn't admitted to me not paying attention as he doesn't want any trouble, just wants his car fixing of course. He doesn't care if it goes through insurance or not, but thinks the cost of damage may be more than the value of the car (about £1000)...
I'm hoping the coppers might leave it but I'm not sure tbh... Wasn't driving fast, just slowly turning the corner n came onto his side of the road so completely my fault. Don't know if he was speeding, all happened too fast. Think I paid too much attention to a Beamer coming out the road on the...
I'm thinking that. The Mo'Fo rang me about 11 this morning when I waas still in bed asking for my insurance policy number. I didn't give it him. If it costs a tad more would rather still go without insurance cos' I might be better off on the long run?
Only non cosmetic damage is the drivers side wheel has moved back. Could be a big money repair? will have to get it professionally looked at. Yes Darth, I deffo wish I took your advice. You never think it'll happen to yourself but I've proved it does :-/.
Yeah. It'll just be. 18, 2 years no claims down the drain, 3 points for careless driving? Insurance wouldn't touch me on another? Still, I gotta learn to move on. If they don't write off my car then I'd try repair it, if not make money by selling parts?
No, nothing like that. just coming down a road, slowing down to turn the corner started to turn as I didn't see his car till last second. Dunno how it happened? Could have happened in any car.
Cheers pal. Been upset sinec, almost in tears :(. Still, I've bene told to try and not dell on it so went and got absolutely shitfaced last night! Like I say, my fault... But you can't help the unevitable.
Yehh. I hope we can do it without insurance but very unlikely. If my cars a write off then I'd never get a valver again because I wouldn't be able to insure it :(. Bah, my pride and joy. Plus I may have to pay out for his car as I have undeclared mods :-/. PLus court fees etc? All money I...
Ha a smash in my car last night, think its a write off :(. Afterwards a policeman drove by and stopped. Interviewed me and breathalised me... al that s**t. He wa a coomplete nob, gonna report me for careless driving so I'll get prosecuted. And as for my car and the other guys, dunno what I'ma do...
Okay cheers Gav. Went through both fuse boxes last weekend and couldn't find anything wrong. Could probably do with just spraying a bit of electrical cleaner in the contacts though incase there a bit rusted.
Yeah. Gav don't deny what you ain't seen :P. Was 185 when it was rolling roaded... but been thrashed a bit since then so porbably lost a bit anyway I would have thought?

Spent 1450 on mine. Can tell its been ragged around and a few things need tidying up on it but the 185 brake just drew me in haha... If I were you save up a little more mate and keep your eye out on Ebay an autotrader...
A load of my electrics aren't working in my 93' ph1 valver. The oil temp gauge doesn't (didn't when I bought it), last week the electric mirrors stopped working, and now the fuel gauge seems to be staying on empty most the time and only now and then creeping up!? Plenty of fuel in... Are any of...
