Thanks all :) Thanks Steve, appreciate it mate. May well be in touch if the claim isn't settled before my courtesy car gets sent back. Indeed it did Alan, good eyes. Sir_Dave bought it from Jay and I bought it from Dave, and like to think it continued to look immaculate. I'd just got it back...

Thanks all. Courtesy car arrived, I'm having a beer and trying to just forget about today. I'm just jesting mate. I can't really hear the sharpening ;)

Yeah. Clutching at straws comes to mind I guess. Cheers mate. Yeah, crazy as we were joking about 'crashing being easier than selling' the other day! Indeed mate, one of the best left IMO. Who'd have thought that Dave's shed has outlived it?!

Yus!

Cheers Clart. You're welcome to it if I get it back mate. Yeah Rob, you have a warning that there's train tracks though, don't you? Meh, like I say, I'm not looking for an excuse, just closure for myself really. No scoob for me now, btw.

Thanks for the email Kev, will text you tonight. I've been chatting to my Dad about the incident this evening and he's raised a fairly good point. Now, I'm not one to lay blame elsewhere but the reason I hit the rear of someone else was due to a lorry reversing into a driveway; the person I...

Thanks Mark/Ali. I completely agree btw.

Cheers Danny. I've not logged on Kev, not done for a year or so now. I can hear them sharpening their pitchforks though.

The only lesson that I'd give out is that no matter how well you think you know a road, you really can't predict what's around a corner. No one can. Anyway, I'm ok, the other driver's ok and car's can be replaced. Fin.

Yeah, it was a good'un. Anyone who's ever driven/seen it could tell you that.

Thanks for the kind words/PM's people. Unfortunately, it looks like I'm not going to be able to get anything from it (depending on CAT status) but I'll PM anyone that's interested in the parts the address of the salvage yard as soon as I find out. I'm just gutted. It's weird, I was only telling...

Wrote it off this morning on the way to work. Extremely gutted and a bit sore, but ok. Especially gutted as I've spend just shy of 2 grand last month getting it immaculate so it's ready to be sold. I'm going to attempt to buy it back, as the Turnini's/Recaros/Sachs/Spoiler etc are all in...

Sorry mate, not had chance to get around to it yet. I'll fire you across something at the weekend.

Meh, 1*2's aren't luxuary cars, no matter how many auto features/much leather you throw at it. Creature comfort's should be a welcome extra on them, rather than models getting dismissed due to the lack of them.

Nope. They're essentially a 182 cup with expensive trick bits.

Great shots! I always wonder how people like this get jobs though. Mentals.

Love it. Like really, really. Much prefer it on the silver wheels too!

So it being common makes it a crap colour? Surely, if all 500 were made in white, it would be just as common? Ergo = just as crap?

LOL! I love that analogy! You've essentially just branded all those who say that the colour is wrong as racists, btw.

It's the same one that came in the cup mate. Easy enough swap though. It's thrown together, in the same sense that NBA All Star teams are thrown together.

Did you think of that all by yourself, or did your carer help? ;) Seriously though, are you just trolling, or would you like to enlighten me as to why it's so bad?

RB is a nicer colour, agreed. But capsicum is far from 's**t', as the bloke above put in such a coherent way. Didn't see you at CSS Ed! You could've had a drive out in mine mate! Then bought it...

Oh c'mon Ollie. We once had a claim where someone had managed to set fire to a Smart Car in a petrol station by putting fuel in the heater vents. Make of that what you will. But yeah, when I was in sales nothing ever made me 'laugh myself to tears' when taking details/giving quotes. Other than...

It's insurer dependent, but generally you lose them after not having a policy of your own for two years. I've heard of some being one year, though, so go careful and check with your insurance company. PNCB has nothing to do with whether you take a 'break' with insuring a car or not, it only...

I'm a spastic and forgot to bring the voucher, but must've been overcharged if you only paid the equivelent of £4.50. 9 quid for me for the same 'meal', lol! The chips were awesome though, was well happy when I saw the bird bring out a fresh batch.

Less extras? Really? Half leather rear seats and poor xenons (which I haven't fitted, FYI). I'll take the Sachs and recaros, thanks.

Cheers mate. Completely agree btw. That picture was it on 80k ish, it's on 90k now and just as fresh. Condition > Milage. It also may be up for sale...;)

Nothing wrong with the colour when it's looked after... :o

Yup. All that weight added from when I put in the much better looking half leather rear bench means that it won't **** a rear wheel now...

Ate half, sold it on later to get coilovers for a ham sandwich.
