I remember seeing this when you first posted, and the pics then didnt quite give the impression it was that big a shunt, that does look heavy.......

 

Would have like to see an under the bonnet pic to see just where the engine is positioned.....but hope you stay and find another.......:cool:

 

Any plans ?

Sad indeed.

 

When it happened to me though, I didn't let it go from my driveway until I'd reached an agreed settlement with the insurance company. They wouldn't give me what I wanted for it (not even close to market value at the time) and the calls went back and forth for about 2 months until I had made so much of a nuisance of myself that when I agreed to accept their original (very poor) offer on the condition that I could keep the salvage for free, I think they agreed just so they could get rid of me!

 

Worked out well though. I'd been fighting for an extra £1500 on the settlement figure, but instead I ended up with salvage that paid me over £5000 as I stripped every last nut and bolt off the shell.

 

I had to take the shell to be destroyed, and I remember going to collect the certificate of destruction. On my way out of the place, I saw the shell of my car sitting on the side of a pile of scrap metal on its' nose. It had been picked up by its' roof which was all crumpled and the screen was smashed. Brought a tear to my eye to see it like that.

 

I know what you're feeling just by remembering that day. Things will get better mate, believe me. You'll be back in something nice sooner than you think.
