woody-cdas Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 Hi all, I have been offline for a while now due to a move from Sussex to Kent. Had problems since October trying to get moved in. Finally moved in to our new house in Orpington a couple of weeks ago and everything was great until some old boy (bless him - my dad's old too!) slipped off the clutch (in traffic) and hit the guy in front of him who then hit me. Didn't look or feel to bad to start with but I still had the raging @rse when I got out to inpect the damage. It has creased the back valance and possibly the floor, the boot is a little bent and the bumper is out of shape - amazing seeing as it never broke a single lense on my car. Anyway - I'm now completely gutted - this was my pride and joy and now I cannot even bring myself to drive it - It doesn't look as nice as it did. I'm worried that the insurance company are going to think it's beyond economical repair and write it off - but I don't want it repaired by someone that I cannot choose either as I had a BMW a few years ago which Harwoods in Carshalton bu55ered right up and it had to be redone twice before I coud have it done at garage of my choice - and when it was eventually done I didn't want it anymore as it was not the same car. I know that sounds stupid. Sorry for babbling on guys - I'm just a little frustrated. Anyway - I have now moved to Kent so just wanted to say Hi to all at Kent Scoobies and to say if I get my car repaired then I would like to come along to a meet at some point. Cheers, Woody ( I shall go back to my crying now!!!!!)[:'(]
