R3OBC MK1 - - remember????

[R3OBC]

some of the older members amoungst you may remember this..........May 2004, uninsured s***s hit me and done a runner.....

well this morning, the whole claim was SETTLED!!!! got my cheque from the MIB for my excess, losses and whiplash!!! Also states that my solicitor has informed my insurer / broker to ensure preservation of my No claims bonus???? YEEE Fookin HAAA! i wasnt expecting that. so, hopefully, i will get my 2yrs no claims! (took out elephant policy on the black clio with zero no claims, so im not using the no claims on that obviously lol lol).

So, £2350, 2yrs no claims hopefully..........just need to sort out the black pile o s**t, clear my loan with the payout from smellyphant, moving out and into my own place.........get settled.........then maybe treat myself to a 106 rallye next year??? Mint! Today......today is gonna be a good day! lol

To update you all, R3OBC currently has taken a different approach........white van man, company van, all paid for, including diesel......often found sideways on roundabouts - loving it!

Wheels will be black soon! some of you know our other works van...

Glad things are looking up for you bud!!

You seemed to have about as much luck as me when it comes to motors!!

 

[182 sport]

anybody notice the vts wheels on the van

 

[R3OBC]

aye mate, ive given up and taking some time out! the best laughs have always been when i had a works van - life is so much easier lol! instead of life consistin of polishin a black metal object and worrying about it 24/7, its now a case of hmmm, go out, have a few drinks, talk to some nice girls, no stress, and a different form of pleasure lol......granted, the clio was probably better for 'dates', but.....girls often ask me whats 'stored in the back of the van'.....lol, so it has its advantages..... only disadvantage is, due to the lack of polishing / washing, my right arm aint as good as it used to be, will have to find alternate means of exercise lol!!

Rob.

*182 = ebay bargain of the year!! wheels are mint - 1 kerb mar on one wheel, 4 good michelin Pilots, all bolts, including locking nuts.....£104!! Jammin lol!

 

[Ali]
