    Default My Car Wrecked

    Had an accident yesterday afternoon .just driving round a sharp bend and some muppet women was coming the other way on my side of the road...
    smashed straight into us
    according to the police as the road was wet where it had been raining she came around the corner at speed and skidded and missed the corner ..
    straight into me !!!

    my airbags blasted open and me and the mrs are a bit stiff from whiplash

    no airbags in the car that hit me ...

    just waiting to see what the insurance company will do now ..

    hope it can be fixed

    but dont hold out any hopes

    I wouldn't expect that would be fixed, and in all honesty I don't think I'd want it to be mate. Would you feel comfortable driving round in something that had been repaired from a crash like that...? Just a thought.

    Glad you're both ok though - that's the important thing.

    Yeah that will be scrapped for sure.

    I note your comment with regards to 'whiplash'.

    Just made me think of the feature there was on the radio the other day and how claims for this kind of thing cost us all a fortune in insurance and policies are still rising all the time due to the corrupt nature of many claims made as it's so hard to prove someone does not have it.

    Gutted for you mate, that looks a real nasty one, but the main thing is you're both ok.

    That looks like a write-off to me

    Hope you and the Mrs are ok thats the main thing.

    I would not expect that car back tbh and based on the amount of damage done it would not surprise me if you both have whiplash.

    Good luck with everything and at least owning these cars you are guaranteed of one thing.....there are plenty more vectras in the sea lol.

    The car did it's job, that's what's important at the end of the day. You're both ok. There's no way they'll re-build that, especially as the airbags have fired and to be honest looking at the damage I don't think I'd want it re-built if it was mine, even though I'd be gutted, even looking past everything else, the front chassis is going to be twisted to hell.

    Glad you're both ok.
