scooby doom

Sorry to hear about your prang, what a gim9. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter who owns the ST as you were driving it at the time you have certain responsibilities. Insurance would have to have been arranged prior to the test drive usually the garage’s own policy or one set up for the test, as I can’t imagine they’d be happy to let you take it out on your own policy as that would generally only provide 3rd party cover. So, assuming you have fully comp cover on their Ins and you were provided with the vans drivers Ins, there are several ways this could be dealt with although the follwing are the most likely and not an exhaustive list: Van driver agrees to accept liability and agrees to pay for damage without involving Ins Co’s. You pay no excess. Van driver’s Ins Co agrees to accept liability and authorise repairs and pays the repairer directly. You pay no excess. Your (ST owners) Ins Co immediately authorises the repair of the damage to the ST and pay for it. They then ‘try’ to claim back the value of the repair from the van drivers Ins Co. It will be up to your Ins Co to decide whether they want you to pay the excess up front or not. If they don’t want you to pay they’ll then try to recover the cost of the damage in full. If they’ll want you to pay they should try to recover the cost of the damage minus your excess, and may try to recover your excess too – just watch some Ins Co’s will make you try to recover your excess yourself from his Ins Co. You may have to pay the excess. Both Ins Co’s request details and sort it out in between them and eventually agree which driver is liable and what they will pay for. Payment and recovery of cost of damage and excess same as No 3 above. You may have to pay the excess. Sounds like 100% his fault but you can never assume that with Ins Co’s till it’s done and settled. Hope this helps.

Great find M8 []

Hey guys thanks for the warm welcome [] I'm near Fochabers and have a Bugeye WRX with STi backbox. That said just got a slightly used Forge BOV on eBay for about 2/3 retail price, so here's hoping all goes well and it comes in a few days. Ninja de-cat zorst next move, exterior, brakes, wheels, suspension later. Not sure about the 16th yet should be working til 5 but may be late finished so could be pushing it for time. Unfortunately, as I said may have to work some of the 19th too, I'll keep looking here for times and see what I can do. Should know closer to the days.

Unfortunately, like a lot of traffic law it's very black and white - the grey area comes misinterpretation and from inconsistant enforcement or Police discretion. As Stripe pointed out it is not legal to make any exhaust louder but if its reasonable and the cars driven sensibly - who cares? It's when you've Barry ShumaCorsaMacher driving in his lead boots or your MR2 T**T that they get noticed and pulled. However, even then some cops may warn and some may just slap ya with an on the spot fine. There is of course the other option of the 21 day ticket to have the offending part 'sorted' at an MOT centre. Obviously, this would imply that all exhausts that exceed the standard noise levels are illegal and that would be true but common sense means it's impractical to go after them all so you're back to discretion again. It's just a shame that there are donkeys out there spoiling it for the rest. Phew...! off the soap box now.

any more? I may be working that weekend but if not room for a SIDC nOOb?

I took the Scoob on holiday this year, unfortunately I had to take the dragon, kids and all the sh*te they could muster. Travelled from Morayshire to Suffolk and spinning about there. Did a little over 1800 miles averaging about 29mpg for entire trip. That said I normally get about 26mpg cruising about here as I drive with me baffies on.

Chavtastic! []
