dam and blast (amongst other more colourful words)

Post by a57737 »

Crash!!!

Got to the end of my road today, someone stopped to let me out. Checked the other way, all clear. Pulled forward, hear a loud revving noise, followed by a screech of brakes and a car was in the side of mine!

"Oh my golly gosh!" I exclaimed.

Bell said it's a write off without even looking, here are the pics (mine's the Rocco obviously):

Thing's buggered. The engine sounds terrible, gearbox shagged and clutch burning whenever I try it.

Considering not claiming so I can just keep it rather than buying it back...

Also, bought a new car today:

the wouldn't need to look. the cost of having it collected and taken to the bodyshop would be more than the cost of the car
