havent posted anything for ages. but i thought i'd let you know i was involved in a crash this morning before going into college.

[timsmini]

Oooo nasty, you ok
How much damage Is it easily fixed

[joshspragg]

insurance company will most probably write it off. i'm fine tho, but i'll deffo feel it tomorrow. the whole backend will need to be replaced. sucks especially as it wasnt my fault.

[jackdaw]

OUCH !!!

Glad you are OK at least.

Just remember that Mini bodywork can fixed quicker than broken bones.

jd

[joshspragg]

its just soo annoying all the time effort and money you put into the car, and some jerk in a brand new car isnt concentrating and it almost seems that you've wasted everything you've done. its horrible. i just want my mini back on the road. i'm not ready for another car yet but if it is written of i'd deffo get another mini and maybe spend some money and do her up like i did with this one.

[brivin]

You have my sympathies--such a neat looking mini,too!

[ljonez]

It doesn't look that bad but yes it will be written off, it might be possible to buy it back?

At the least it's new rear panel, boot and bumper. Not sure if its the shadows but it looks like the rear quarter is buckled ( just above arch) if it is you need to check out the rear subframe, boot floor. But it's all fixable. Good luck with it and don't accept the first offer from the insurance.

[joshspragg]

ahh poop it does look buckled. if its that bad i'll hopefully end up buying another mini and breaking this one. i'll let you know whats happening. the guy is being a muppet and apparently he'll give me the details tomorrow, so hopefully get a courtesy and get everything back to normal again.

[adamdavies]

Sorry to hear that, glad your okay though. It's my worst fear crashing my car. I'm sure you'll sort everything out though and you'll beback on the road in no time

[Huntyfm]

Seems Friday 13th come early today.. My mate crashed her car.. My other mate got knocked off is bike and you!

Horrible feeling isn't it.. Worse for you because it completely wasnt your fault

[joshspragg]

i just want another car. or at least this one fixed. i want to drive!!

[coedy]

Ah, deepest condolences mate.

It probably will be written off looking at it (depending how your insurance is set out). But! Take in a bundle of Mini mags (recent ones) if your asked to go to see the valuer as it will show what Minis in your condition (pre prang) go for. Also as Lawson said always reject the first offer and keep tapping the Mini mags.

If you can buy it back though definitely do, Even if it does look like a lost cause at least then you can try and save other Minis then with the spares and get money back towards the next one.

Also, dont forget, If you are feeling it tomorrow to get down the hospital and get checked out.

[joshspragg]

ye i cant twist my neck or look up properly. and cheers for the advice, i want every penny back for my car.

[gavinhendy]

shud have gone to the hospital str8 away mate

[joshspragg]

i did go to the hospital straight away. and its the 2nd night he's failed to give me his insurance details. so i will be reporting him to the police and i am soo annoyed.

[jackdaw]

He should have given you his details straight away, or within hours not days.
Time to get the Police involved definitely!

[joshspragg]

i'll let you know what happens after today

[gavinhendy]

all the best with it mate

[joshspragg]

the police officer came over to fill out an accident report form and she has found out where the guy lives, went to give him a visit and he wasnt home. she said she will try his house later and if not she'll try again tomorrow.

[joshspragg]
