Woke up to this today :(

Was just getting ready for work this morning when my neighbour knocked at the door with bad news - some stupid 17 year old kid had taken the corner too fast at 2.50am and wiped out the fence, went straight into my neighbours car which then went straight into mine. I don't know what you all think (photos attached) but I hope it can be repaired as I have just got the car as I've wanted it. Typical I'd just replaced the tyres & brakes, and stuck a leather interior in it. Pretty sure the neighbours car is a write off. Incredible the damage a fiat punto can do to two big heavy cars. I've got better pictures of the damage to the Supra but can't upload them to Photobucket at the moment as I've just entered the wrong password and need to wait Will upload later.

Been pretty pi##ed off as I can't speak to sky insurance as they are not open on a Sunday - I phoned QBE Insurance who took a message, and at the end of a lengthy phonecall, told me they'd pass the message onto Sky in the morning!! After looking on here, I phoned Accident Exchange, but they aren't open on a Sunday either. I'm annoyed as I need to get to work each day & need a replacement car but can't get anything sorted.

Great start to my Sunday

Sorry to see that mate, hope it all works out.

Sorry bud, but of a gutter......

He must have been doing some speed to cause that much damage

feel for ya mate,hopefully you get all sorted

Oh damn mark that sucks mate, so sorry to hear that....just as you got it looking how you wanted too hopefully it can be sorted dude, fingers crossed

looks like just a new wing to me. Easy.

Shame it didnt hit the hilux. There would have been nothing left of the punto

That is really rough mate! Hope it gets sorted for you!

sorry to hearthat has it taken damaged the door and pillar to as hard to tell

Thanks for your support, I think it can be repaired as the damage seems to be just the door and front wing. There is some damage to the skirt which can be repaired and I hope the bonnet will be ok.

What do you recommend I do - go through Sky to get it sorted, or use accident exchange? It happened before to me with my last car & I ended up with a crap people carrier as replacement car - as it took a good few months to settle, I was stuck with it. Saw on another thread that someone got a lexus as a replacement through accident exchange.

Also, if it is fixed, can I claim for loss of value?

Here's better pics of the sup.

I'd be gutted if that happened to me mate, I take it you have 'punto kids' details? or did he try to scarper?

Bugger, sorry to see that mate. I've had a couple of young idiots crash at the junction next to my house, one hit my work van which then hit next dor and then two doors down car too! luckily nobody has been hurt yet. Best of luck with the insurance/repair mate.

I did hear something when it happened at 2.50am but didn't get up. Fortunately, the neighbour was woke up by a guy & girl arguing outside after coming from a party behind us (where I'm assuming the punto kids were heading). Then he heard the accident, ran down & they were trying to start the car. I would think they would have scarpered if it started, seeing the damage to two cars. The neighbour got there in time & got all the details - shame he didn't call the police as the skid marks on the corner show he must have been doing excessive speeds (it's a 30mph zone!) Just glad we got the details!!

Accident exchange are good also BRITTANIA MANAGEMNT are very good for service, drop me a PM ill send you details as i cant pm you for some reason and the guy i used very friendly straighforward helpfull people

I would be well annoyed..

That will be a new wing, new door and repair on the sideskirt, looking at probably £1000-£1500 if not more after sourcing parts, fitting and spraying, hope you got the idiot that did it and more importantly have his insurance info....

Sorry dude i hate to see this happen especialy to our beautiful cars...

Some right knobs out there arnt there.

Gutted for you mate, hope you get it resolved quickly.

Did you manage to sleep through that going on then, must have made a racket outside??

Typical just when you get it sorted, another kick in the teeth from life!

What happened to the kid driving the punto? He stick around or what?

Speaking to the insurance to get a better idea of what'll happen is your best bet really, they might fix it then claim off his, but take your excess for the time being until you get it back off his insurer... That's what usually happens.

have you checked askmid database see if punto is insured, actually you would be claiming of your neighbour wouldnt you

Sorry, hope you get it sorted mate.

Good think there is no damage to the wheels. Works Meister S1s

have you checked askmid database see if punto is insured, actually you would be claiming of your neighbour wouldnt you

Yeah, how does that work as the Neighbour hasn't physically caused the damage but someone else pushed the neighbours car into his??

my mate had a similiar accident vechile went went in to a car which ended up going in to my mates car so the claims co mpany first try for the orginal cause of accident insurance if they cant then they will go for the 2nd persons, at the end both claims will come out of person at fault insurance..

Pmd You Bud

Arg thats gutting. Hope you get it sorted quickly and looking good again

Only just seen this dude,

feel for you mate the little b'stards.

Hopefully shouldn't take too long to sort out the mess.

I believe you'd get your @$$ kicked for doing that to my car. I hope it all works out and you're compensated not only for repairs, but pain, suffering, and anguish.

Feel for you mate, hope it gets sorted soon
