spursmaddave Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Dave looks like that all the time If that was me I would look like this for weeks: I hope it gets sorted quickly, it's always a sad day to see nice cars off the road. As far as prosecution, it wouldn't happen it would be based on one persons story against another's, did you get any independent witnesses? The day CPS would authorise that going to court...

Peter10 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Keep us posted on this one & I hope they sort it out quickly. What courtesy car did you get? 1.0 Micra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Keep us posted on this one & I hope they sort it out quickly. What courtesy car did you get? 1.0 Micra? Started off with a 1.4 Corsa Ecomotive Loads of toys and well kitted out but I swear the accelerator pedal was so sprung loaded, and even when you did force it down it made bugger all difference to how you were moving It also had a little green 'change up gear' light which made me chuckle, if you paid attention to it you were in 5th gear before you were doing 30mph Anyway it went back first thing Monday morning as it was all they had friday afternoon, and we now have a 2l Insignia TDCI which I have to say I am quite impressed with. It's quiet, reasonably quick, pretty frugal and quite nice to drive.... SHould be able to get to Cornwall and back on one tank of the black stuff, would have been almost 2 tanks in the Zed... but a lot more enjoyable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 hope it all gets sorted soon and in your favour . Nothing worse than the other driver trying to wangle out of it when they know its there fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tez162003 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 i too quite like the Insignia, mate of mine had a diesel one as his courtesy car. I was impressed tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 i too quite like the Insignia, mate of mine had a diesel one as his courtesy car. I was impressed tbh The Insignia is plagued at work, that's all they are allowed. Bored of them now. Nice but boring. Although the elite I think it is has waggling headlamps and flashes at you when you press the "open door" button! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 Heard from the repairers just body work damage, which is what I thought and will be ready in 7-10 days So looks like my Zed will see 100k after all Just hope they make a good job of blending in the new panels, if they don't I will just refuse to pay until they do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitstew Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Has he accepted fault ? I hope he has, otherwise you`ll have a nightmare. I had an accident a few years back where some old dear pulled straight out in front of me and knocked me off my motorbike. She admitted liability straight away. But after she spoke to her insurance company she then claimed it was my fault. My insurance company took 8 months to sort it out and in the end they decided it was 50/50 liability so I lost some of my NCB. What a bumper tho, id have gone apesh!t if that was my car. Now you have all the hassle of repair companies trying to fix it and making a pigs ear of it. I had to send my girlfriends car back to the repair garage 4 times after her accident last year and the car was never the same. Being a biker you soon learn to watch other cars, as in my experience you are more likely to have some idiot run into you, rather than crash yourself.

spursmaddave Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 Picked it up this afternoon Very good job done IMO they have sprayed the whole drivers side of the car and blended it into both bumpers, looks superb, actually shows up the old paintwork a little They have refurbed the curbed Ray but when they went to balance it they found it was slightly buckled, ok to drive but they have ordered me a brand new Ray which will be here in about 10 days.... I have been wondering if I should get new Bridgstones all round or Falcons, well I have had my mind made up as they have fitted a brand new front trye too, RE050A to match what came off So nice to have my baby back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 Thanks everyone.... This may have given me the push to get the rest of the exterior tip top as the new paint looks so good in the sun, really sparkles... I will have to get the rest of the car done and wheels refurbed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 Been working away so sorry for the delay, but if anyone is interested this is the finished result, not a great pic but you can see compared to the pic from the Grasshopper meet a while back they did the whole side as the petrol cap is no longer a different shade of blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RisingPower Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Looks as new fella Must have been so long, don't even remember the petrol cap being a different colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Grahams was different too until he had a respray Im well pleased with it, just got to hope I get my excess back now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
