My friend who unfortunately isn't with us anymore but not because of the crash had one of the worst accidents I've ever seen or heard about and walked away from
It, focus st driver over took him on a country road with banks either side, didn't have enough room as another car was coming so...
Be careful where you park, I know it can still happen, but lets say you can be bothered to walk from the back of Waitrose car park rather than having to park at the front, it's usually quieter at that end, = less likely to get dinged !
Hope you get it sorted pal, This kind of thing p*sses me right off, I'd enjoy hurting them! I had some bloke door me & basically say "Never mind" I was just about to put my foot firmly in mouth before my old man calmed the situation and escorted the man to the ATM haha.
It's a higher insurance group than my little C2 that I'm running round in at the moment & the performance is roughly the same, I've never had a st get away from me.

I'm 20 with 1 years NCB & my insurance "WILL" be around the 12-1300 mark when I get my cup Having spoken to Admiral last week. (Multi car policy) With lot's of cars on it!
My plan is, to find a minter & Improve not devalue, Go down the OEM ish route, For instance I love the Recaro sportsters, They're deffo on my wish list. But the car will just be improved rather than changed if you catch my drift. I'm a big fan of chassis & brake improvements.
