OMG. Was sitting at a roundabout today waiting for a space to pull out when BANG. Some stupid bloke ran into the back of me. The excuse he gave was " I was looking at your car and how good it looked  and just thought you had set off".. WHAT.  He was gutted. Admitted liability a the scene. He had  phoned his insurance within the hour and he rang me back to say sorry again. Still I dont care.
HE HIT MY 5 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh wow is me. Still, S..t Happens

That will be a whiplash compo claim then, don't be put off claiming either mate as neck n back injuries even just aches n pains to start with can end up coming back to haunt you later, so get that claim in mate. Plus cash in ya pocket is better than the extra millions profit for the shareholders.

At least parts for repairs are cheap matey! new bumper is inexpensive so long as you can find a colourmatch.

Just have a look in the boot floor for movement as its close to the bumper...


thats sh*t by the way mate

Yep  Im quite pleased. Also havin physio on my neck and back all on insurance plus all out of pocket expenses and extra hire car excess paid for as well. Only trouble is that it takes me 15 mins to set all things including the bluetooth phone connection before I set off.  Having said that I still prefer my 5!!!!!

Oh the things I have to suffer.

Im with Lv but the T..t who hit me is with Zurich. I am dealing direct with them and not through my insurance at all.  They are arranging all this for me. Its much quicker that way cos there is no third party making any money out of it.  


Oh how I suffer.
