As for yours, how far do you want to go? I have those rear lights here and steering wheel is yours once you cross my palm.

Id chose some smart alloys to finish it off, its looking good.

Sorry mate, big fan of your car and hope it will be back to normal including yourself.

you have every right in the world jord, anyone on here who claims they wouldnt do the same in that situation is fibbing :rasp:
I never have and I've been in 3 very bad ones. I have my moral reasons for not doing so though :)

Jordan is genuinely injured tho, are you saying you wouldnt claim for an injury knowing that you'd be entitled to a few thousand as it wasnt your fault?

Loss of earnings, the hassle of it all, losing the car, injury, sleepless nights, whatever, thats why the insurance is there.

Yes people fake injuries and claim, thus bumping premiums up maybe, but insurance is there for a reason.
 
well, once again more problems......... recovery guy just came and went.... but couldnt take the car because its too low to get onto the wagon :(

DOH =(

People at the tyre place i use have to lift the car by it's archs to get it on the ramp.

could you not just drive it where ever it's gotta go?
 
yeah gona try that now..... just trying to find someone to follow me there though as i wont be able to get home!
 
they are sending out a specialist recovery company to get it.....so it saves me the trip... i have to waste a day though until they show now though :(

I think the point is that if it weren't for all the ambulance chaser adverts over the past 5 to 10 years then nobody would be bothered or even know how to make a personal injury claims.

We are not Americans (thank god!) so why do we adopt their twisted views on things, especially when it comes to getting something for (almost) nothing.

I agree if its a life changing injury like losing a limb or vision then yes -claim, but if not dust your self off and get on with life. Cry wolf once too often and people stop listening or caring.

The only reason I'm saying this is because I personally know of someone who has made 5 fraudulent (and has admitted it) personal injury claims in the last 10 years from car "accidents" and is now claiming disability benefit:nono: , gets a mobility car and a carer, and all that is wrong with her is shes too so**ing lazy to get off her fat ar*e to earn an honest living like the rest of us. We all have to pay for people like that through our ever increasing insurance premiums.

Rant over.:dead:

Well I had whiplash in all 3 cases, but just got on with my life regardless. I even cracked a vertibrae in one. 2 of those accidents were classed as horiffic and all were the fault of another driver.

It's just I stongly disagree with the "American Litigation Culture" that's becoming more and more prominent over here. All the adverts dont serve to help in any cause. Personally I think it's petty and only serves to bump up everone's premiums, especially with the way people are encouraging others to make an allegedly "genuine" claim, eg. by listing symptoms.

You're right, insurance is there for a reason... but it's there to protect people and not there to be abused ;)
 
car has been picked up.... managed to get it on the truck after 30 mins of messing around.....

didnt have time to get the xenons or the wheels off, so will just have to see what happens now :(
 
agree with most of the above comments that people have made.

IMHO if someone is making a fraudulant claim, that is down right disgusting, as it takes money away from those that really need it.

however, if you have been involved in an accident then i think you are wll within your rights to claim. like russ has stated, accidents go way beyond just personal and obvious injury.

i hate the whole american "sue me sue you" regime that is coming in, with the no win no fee etc etc, having a father that owns factories i constantly hear about fraudulant claims and i think its morally wrong, and obv abuses the system put in place to protect others.
 
jords should have said mate, i have jacks etc and could have had stuff off easy for you, and could have followed you there and given you lift back :)

Thinking about it though, they will value the mods at the new cost from the supplier (i.e. Renault for the xenons) so Jordan should make a tidy little profit?
