Tricky-Ricky Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 You can guess whats coming next, got back from shopping about half two, parked the Supra on the end of the row outside my house, sitting on the laptop with my CCTV on waiting for car in my usual spot to bugger off, and what do i hear, my alarm going off, so go out and look at the car and sure enough some t###er has hit rear near side quarter! leaving scuffs, cracks and a small lump of fibreglass, but also a fairly obvious pair of colours of our local bus company, checked the video and sure enough, although the camera was not pointed at the car, you can see the bus go by closely followed by a crunch and my alarm going off. Reported it to the law, and been in touch with the bus claims company, very helpful and my ins company, now have to sit back and Wait to see if the bus company deny it. The biggest piss off is that i have managed to keep it pretty immaculate for a whole year, and now this happens:( washed it and polished the wheels yesterday as well.

Pete Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) I had a bus do similar to me once (to a Nova). They called me up and just agreed to pay for the repairs - no hassle.

Tricky-Ricky Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 I had a bus do similar to me once. They called me up and just agreed to pay for the repairs - no hassle. Hope my local one is like that, thanks for all the sympathy guys, its not that bad but there is a crack at the join of where the JDL bumper fits to the std one that will be a pain, probably just a afternoons work for me to fix, but its the principal of it, the bus driver may or may not have noticed he did it, but I'm dam sure he would have heard my alarm.
