Absolutely gutted. :cry:

Just had my springs finally sorted by Mark (town325) and some t**t smashes into the side of me flying down the road as I was turning at the traffic lights.

To add insult to injury, I hurt my head on the window as he spun me 180 degrees. :(

Fairwell good friend. :( Not quite how I planned it would end.

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Car can be replaced. You can't, as long as no one is seriously hurt, then it's a bit of metal. Gutted for you in respect of the car all the same though as some good work went into it. Don't let the insurance take it till you have stripped it or you will lose some nice bit's.

was looking forward to seeing this at the Pod too :(

You can get a couple of grand from a whiplash claim if you suffer. I do hope it works out well in the end, i'am sure you will be back in another chromie Ollie, you never know you might be able to get this fixed if your determined?

Chin up, life is full of shit :(

Thank you for all the supportive comments.

The car is safe, but the damage is worse than it looks, its undrivable. Will probably be a Cat B.

Other driver is blaming me... :( But like I said he was being a ****, milking the situation. :roll:

Its obvious by the damage he hit you, all you have to say is he jumped the lights, you will have a witness who lives 'in view' 8)

I can't quite workout whats happened but like Dan says it's clear he has hit you. How was he milking the situation? Just hope the insurers don't wimp out with a 50/50 which i always hear about these days.

There is no way the insurance will fix it, a new front wing and bonnet would probably right it off from an insureres point of view.

don't give up on the old girl yet Ollie. you could try someone like this for a rear quarter (not available as a new pattern part sadly):

and i'm sure i could sort you out with a rear bumper, rear light, etc :)
