Sigh that was short lived - a new forum record?
Been here less than 24 hours and...

Some plonker has failed to make a turn on the ice and T boned me.

Its half up on the pavement so it was a fair whack!

They have up and done a runner so theres no insurance to cover it. A few more things to add to the "to do" list now...

:( That is bad luck, and even worse that you don't have the numpty's details. I assume that you have let the local police know, as they would classify that as failing to stop at the scene of an accident. You never know, they might catch the sod when they try to get their vehicle repaired.

Really sorry to hear that. As Hell Razor said, hopefully they'll be caught when they try to get their vehicle repaired.. They must have quite a bit of red paint on their car.

Yeah pretty gutted. Was so looking forward to having a nice car - now it will be two toned ha ha - have found a wreck to salvage parts from but it'll never be what it was sigh. A witness called police about it and the cops left a note to call the station on the windscreen - which we did but they only gave us the bad news that they other party had done a runner. Hopefully garages have been notified but you can never be sure. Both tyres on the right hand side had to be replaced from being forced up over the gutter, and the drivers side door a write off but the good news is mechanically and hydraulically she is chipper! Not gonna give up on her yet but the road to satisfaction has definitely been extended :/
Thanks for your condolences.
