Going to give them a call again in a minute Rob. I want it verbally and in writing that I can buy it back is the exact condition that I crashed it in.

Car's come back as a Cat C, so some good news at least. I'll be speaking to Admiral later on how to go about buying it back. Settled it too. Pretty disappointed with the settled amount but as Chip says, the fact that I can buy it back at a reasonable price makes up for it.

:D Have good memories of driving off the top of the mountain and parachuting out the door.

Yep, 180 odd k on a 55 plate Trophy. Still going strong! Fletcher's PH2 172 is also pretty high too.

Saffron Yellow, according to Feirny.

Very very jealous. Some lovely shots too, just a pity that photobucket seems to have sapped some of the quality! Welcome along mate :D

They're just basing it on Glasses guide + a bit extra, I'm afraid. It's fair enough really, it's their job and I can't moan at them for it; they're not 'car people' I'm dealing with. I've got as high up as I can with Admiral now, pushing for £4000. The car is worth that all day long, but I...

Well impressed Chris, it looks amazing mate. Can't help but think that the front plastics needs bringing back to life now though, they really stand out in the second pic. Satin black paint? How's the de-cat? ;)

Serious lack of poetry in here :dapprove: Nice pics Sophy, the B&W ones are far too processed for me though.

They won't entertain it unfortunately Steve. They're only understandably looking at cars on similar miles to mine.

I'm really, really glad it's not just me. They're so much fun to drive completely standard.

He never emailed back btw. I must've interrogated him a bit too hard :o

Awful.

Love that!

I loved the handling on GTAIV. They had it spot on imo. I might pick this up at some point.

It's a very good shout mate!

There's none on 90k about mate. One on 99k is going for £3995, but because it's from a dealer, they won't match it. Anyway, regardless, I've decided for the sake of £250 or whatever I'm probably going to just accept it. Was my fault I crashed, anyway. I just want a guarentee before anything...

Bicycles! <3

They've confirmed to me that I can depending on CAT status, which I'm currently pestering them for. They have given me cheques so far based on figures that have taken away scrap value, though. So if it's CAT D or C, I can. They even mentioned the other day about getting the car back to me.

Good going that Sam. Thing is, to them it's a 55 plate red clio with 90k. I'm just going to push for 4k and if not, meh. I tried. I'm just hoping that the salvage yard hasn't taken anything from the car.

Lol! Plan. That not up for sale yet?

True Dan. Can 100% see where they're coming from, but working in insurance myself (not claims, may I add, lol) I hate feeling as though they're currently mugging me off. I pay a premium for them to put me back in the same financial situation that I was prior to an accident, why should they be...

Turns out that one of the vehicles (the 77k one) is a proper shed. TomSX went and viewed it yesterday, thread in the AT/PH section. Looking at the Trophy forum, it also appeared to have more miles when it was up for sale in March... I'm still disappointed with the valuation, so will be...

Welcome along mate. I hope you got that cheap!

Re: AndyRG - Opps ive done it again! Looks fantastic Andy. The badges/bullets looked better silver though :)

Cheers. Looking on the Trophy forum, it was also for sale in March with 79k on the clock, 2k more than now. Priced then at £4995, too. Shed.

I will mate. They've told me that their final offer is £3750 based on that vehicle and a 99k one that's up for £3995 on AT too. I'm still pretty disappointed with that tbf, mine was immaculate. I'm almost tempted to HPI it myself.

Email sent. We'll see whether I get a response. I'm going to ring Admiral and tell them I can see it's a shed through the pics.

Good idea mate, I'll fire them across an email now. What's going on with the rear badge? Lol!

Interesting. This is one of the two cars that my insurance company are using to value mine at £3750. Not sure how I can prove to them that it's a dog.
