Pic of it from recovery place -

Roof would have been fine if they had rolled it back over, they caused the scratches to it and bent it in. Was not pleased.

 

[Dm_26]

You expected to fix that up after the last picture? That car was a goner as soon as you hit the first verge. Even if the roof looked fine, I wouldn't be very happy fixing and driving that when there could be all sorts of broken things you have overlooked. I.e. Chassis, Suspension

 

[Jamie]

Please tell me you're not saying that they (towing company) tipped the scales from repairable to write off are you? I think you managed that all by yourself.

 

[Munson]

You rolled it onto its roof. Do you think the roof would have ok if they'd tipped it back on its wheels? PMSL!

 

[AhmedRSi]

PMSL @ "could have been fixed if it wasnt for those meddeling kids..."

 

[JCC]

Roof would have been fine if they had rolled it back over, they caused the scratches to it and bent it in. Was not pleased.

Nonsense.

 

[Munson]

I'm still PMSLing at "they scratched the roof".

You rolled the f**ker over!

Anyone got any T-Cut? Oh wait. Don't scratch it!

 

[iimushroomzii]

PMSL!

 

[kerry-w]

I did cause some scratches, but not much as the roll was when the car was at a stop, ahh well, got it back now to break for spares.

Had it looked at and there's only cosmetic damage to it because the impact wasn't huge

 

[iimushroomzii]

Cosmetic damage? Have you even looked at the car?!?! flol!

 

[Munson]

Cosmetic damage? The roof is stoved in.

 

[kerry-w]

Cosmetic is the roof. The engine, suspension etc is all fine. Roll didn't even chip the sunroof.

Got my eye on another PH1 now that's local, will be able to salvage some parts from this that its needing so all should be fine will be in same insurance group too so not as much problem there.

 

[JCC]

Needing a new shell is NOT just cosmetic damage flol

 

[Snakey]

Ouch - nasty. Glad you're all in one piece though.

Is this the place? Clicky.

Hope you're soon mobile again. Drive safe.

That road can get pretty shitty... Think I'll go even slower down it now though

Wheres/who it being recovered to?

 

[kerry-w]

Wheres/who it being recovered to?

GF's dads in Nantycaws, just off the main road.

 

[Gary-Lew]

I love stupid threads, giving it the Mcrae!!!! FAIL lesson learnt

 

[Snakey]

Theres recovery garage next to us, thought it might've been thet one

Anyway, glad your ok mate... hopefully back on the road soon

 

[spuzzcake]

I still don't understand why the hell you let the recovery company take this to their compound - you should have told them to recover it to your house!

 

[dmn1989]

lol losing back end and tipping the car at 25? hmmmmm

 

[kerry-w]

Ohhh, recovery place was Penllain garage. About 25mins from St. Clears

I still don't understand why the hell you let the recovery company take this to their compound - you should have told them to recover it to your house!

I didn't. I had no choice in the matter. None of them spoke to me, just dragged car away on its roof and left me their card and a £250 bill.

lol losing back end and tipping the car at 25? hmmmmm

I did, feel free to go up the bank yourself and test it out.

 

[spuzzcake]

In case this happens to anyone else and you don't think you have a choice in the matter - you do.

You can use the recovery company that the police will use or you can use your own recovery company. If your insurance is paying for it (If you are fully comp.) they will take it for assessment. If you are paying for it - you can have it recovered to your house, a friends house, local scrap yard or a garage of your choice.

 

[TimR26]

Can't believe the recovery company damaged the roof!

 

[Jason_E]

Sorry but people saying "Tipping the car at 25mph is bullshit" You hit a steep bank at the right angle and i bet that's easily achievable.

 

[Gally]

It is easily achievable, Jason.

Just some people can't tie their shoe laces in the morning. Hence the replies.

 

[Leeshez]

Ouch .

 

[ilovewilly]

Is Kerry a woman?

 

[Magic Johnson]

No.

I'd advise the OP to get some sort of inflation device installed in the roof for when he rolls his next car.
