sh*t!!
sorry to hear that mate...when did it happen?
looks like a write off to me.
--chris
yeah its a write off the metal around the sun roof has buckled so im guessing the chassis is bent!
went round a corner too fast lost the back end so i tryed to correct it but i just couldnt catch it... by the time id got into a straight line id hit the curb which spun me a bit, then the hedge with the front left which span me again, then the rear left into the other part of the hedge which yet again spun me and put me pefectly on the wrong side of the road facing in the direction i was wanting to go!
apart from a bit of neck pain iv nothing wrong with me so least its just the car and no, nothing else was involved, not many cars on the road at 4 am!
gunna have to claim plus im only tpft... the guy whos hedge iv messed up wants a grand! lucky if he gets 250 quid from me but if he wants to fight with my insurers then let him go for it
wish i could get a loan for a new one as i love that car to bits but its just too much...was my first car and id just got my first years no claims!
if anyone wants to donante a new valver to me then feel free to pm me!!!!
a grand? give the c**t a sapling from a garden centre and tell him to get f**ked.
I really would try and avoid claiming if at all possible. Being a new driver having binned the car after just over a year youll have major grief insuring even a sh*t car for sensible money with a claim under your belt.
Unlucky mate. As Loony says, beg, steal or borrow to pay for the costs yourself rather than claiming. This means youll get hit once in the pocket rather than getting routinely spit roasted on a yearly basis by your insurance company if youre lucky to get insured.

Unlucky mate. Dont claim! The hedge will grow back!
How are those willy wheels after the accident?
are they fore sale?
i know its going to be harsh to say, but im not gutted, i hope its going to be viewed as a lesson learned the hard way
youve admitted driving enthusiastically and losing control of the car, be this driving too fast for the road or too far past you own limits, its ended in the 2nd worst possible scenario
hope it all gets sorted quickly, but you cant make a claim for the car on your insurance, TPF&T only covers the third party (in this case the hedge - personal property) fire (nope) or theft (nope)
break the car for the parts you can salvage, scrap thwe remains, buy a car with whatever money you have left over + whatever you would have had to pay as an excess. live in the knowledge, that at any other time, losing control of a car at speed can cost lives, is it worth it on the roads?
You should get the blokes hedge repaired. Just because its not something you deem valuable its still his personal property youve damaged.
Cant he just claim off your insurance company? The money you lose from your 1-yr no claims would surely not be the same as what it costs to put things right with him.
Otherwise Id imagine hed sue you for damages. I would.

Im sure everybody has driven like a tw*t at some point! I wrote my 2nd car of driving too fast around a bend. Im lucky im here! But ive learnt from it.

big red bus
He was pushing it in a corner, Thats dangerous driving!
I push my bike on the str8s when its clear! and try to lean into corners, If i stack then its my fault for driving like that, So call me names if u want, but i still think hes driving like a tw*t! Like many of you do aswell!
