Verdicts in on my ph1 172

[Middo]

having had a bit of an incident couple of weeks ago, and most people held the opinion that it was a cat D, but the insurance company have now agreed to fix it completely.

was a bit of a disagreement as they claim the passenger side window regulator has broke, but not in the crash (which it must have done) so they have now agreed to fix this as well.

got no idea how long it'll take to get it back. they've said 2 weeks to repair, but they still have work to do before they start mine.

but now that ive got a corsa sxi 1.2 im not really bothered how long it takes as long as they do a proper job.

thought this would be easier than answering the five PM's i usually get daily lol

 

[Fred@BTM]

bonus!

 

[Big Iain]

so it will be registered then? least it will be back on the road

 

[christurbo]

Nice one bud

 

[Beef-Mc]

Good outcome there for u! Least now u know that there definetly going to pay out for you.

 

[Rhino172]

good stuff! glad it's worked out for ya!

 

[Middo]

Not registered as its not a write off, so even more of a bonus. Also been classed as non fault so wont put insurance up THAT much

 

[Ad]

Nice one...

 

[Jonaldinho]

Good to hear things are on the way up!

 

[Middo]

aye, just gotta find the 550 quid excess now :banghead:

 

[JD]

great news bud, really good to hear!!! apart from the excess you jus put up

 

[Middo]

i'm chuffed to be honest, cheers everyone for the pms etc as well

 

[davebem]

Thats good news Middo, things could be a lot worse off. Good to see you'll get her back and good to see a yellow 172 being saved.

Things are looking good for Admiral, Ive just had a £60 refund as they said they charged me too much!

 

[Ads_172]

Great to hear mate, have to admit I'm quite surprised they've decided to repair.

Make sure you get a decent body shop doing it and the Sunflower looks flawless.

 

[Middo]

Trust me i'm a perfectionist, if anything is up with it i'll be sticking it back on the low loader and telling the driver to tow it back to the bodyshop 40 miles away

 

[Christopher]

good news mark!

could have been a lot worse!

 

[Rich]

Nice one, glad it's being sorted. Have you choose the bodyshop of your choice?

 

[Middo]

^ nah i havent, purely because i NEED a coutsesy car because i work nights so cant catch a bus etc. Saying that, last time i chose my bodyshop to do insurance repairs they did a shite job anyway, dont think theres any good bodysops in stoke lol

 

[Rich]

Argh right - finding a decent bodyshop anywhere is a mission.

 

[Middo]

tell me about it. I'm considering travelling to has's bodyshop in coventry next time i need any work done lol

 

[Rich]

We are considering opening our own!

 

[Middo]

Now that would be a perfectionists heaven

 

[Rich]

You know it Mark

We did a Yamaha R1 at the weekend and it is looking good. Though I am not allowed to do anything apart from prep and polish ( the hard and important bits lol), despite wanting to play with the gun!

 

[Middo]

get some pics up when done! If my car was gonna be written off i was gonna buy a compressor and spray it myself.... prob a good job its getting repaired lol

 

[Rich]

I will do, was to busy on Sat when flatting and polishing to take any. You would have been fine, all about taking your time and prep as you know. I am going to paint my Phase 1 172 myself when I find a suitable example.

 

[Middo]

oooooo didnt know you were getting a ph-quik rich. I assume its gonna be a track beast?

 

[Rich]

On the look out for one, needs to be cheap and tatty as it will be getting a facelift and a colour change.

 

[Middo]

fantastic, white then lol. theres plenty out there at the mo

 

[GinandGasoline]

yey, good news then, i missed this thread somehow but was wondering whether there'd been any news.

the sunflower lives on

 

[trailerparktrev]

glad the car is going to be back on the road - how did u prove the accident was non fault? I thought no witnesses and the cctv was crap?

 

[Ads_172]

I think the CCTV showed no fault, but wasn't good enough to identify the taxi driver.

 

[Nigel]

It's good to hear it's being repaired and not recorded!

 

[tommyboy]

Great news Mark Long live the sunflower

 

[trailerparktrev]

I think the CCTV showed no fault, but wasn't good enough to identify the taxi driver.

Ah... I see.

 

[DebV6]

That's good news, glad to hear this

 

[Middo]

I think the CCTV showed no fault, but wasn't good enough to identify the taxi driver.

Ah... I see.

thats the one. The CCTV could tell that he pulled out on me, leaving me know way of getting out of the situation without ging straight into the post, but he had shite italic numberplates so they couldnt pick it up

thanks for the comments anyway, got my courtesy car now and expecting her back in january . However i was a bit pissed off as the garage rung me up yesterday to tell me a driver had scratched the door so they've gotta blow that in as well now

 

[Russ.]

glad your getting your car repaired matey. im still waiting for my hot lap when u get her back lol

 

[Middo]

lmao, trust me itll be a slow hot lap for a while

 

[CJ]

When my ph1 172 went in I had a 1.4 corsa sxi:rasp: lol

 

[Middo]

i've got a 1.2 corsa SXi, which has pissed me off cos my girlfriends got a 1.4 SXi lol
