  • Some clown hit my car on Sunday!

    Went to the local RSOC show @ Oxton on Sunday & had a great time!

    Half way back I decided to avoid the ring road back home. Too boring with too many outside lane hoggers doing 30mph. So thought I'd have a dash back through town instead.
    So just 1/2 mile into my de-tour, I'm pottering up a wide main road towards the city. Lots of traffic and a steady 30mph.

    Suddenly amongst the many cars travelling in the opposite direction is a blue Corsa.
    He's slightly wandering a bit over the white line.
    I'm thinking he must be txting or picking his ass or something.
    He'll wake up in a second & swerve back to his side.
    Then he's wandering well over the white line.
    Bloody Hell! The idiots coming head on right at me!!
    OMG he's either asleep or tryin to top himself!
    This's gonna hurt!!!
    Where am I gonna go?????
    Luckily there was a bus lane for me to dive into. I swerved out of his way waiting for the bang but praying that he wouldn't go down the side of me.

    BANG!!!!!!!

    I stopped in total shock & looked round expecting him to be stopped just behind me
    He's not there is he
    He's woken up and bounced straight back to his side of the road & ****ed off!

    I spun straight round and saw him 5 cars infront. He must ave seen/heard me (you'd ave thought the green had just lit at the pod)
    Knowing he had NO chance of getting away, he saw sense & pulled over 1/4mile down the road. I pulled along side and I won't bother type next few sentences. I think you'll have an idea what I said to him..

    I parked up properly and gets out the car.
    "Are you drunk or on drugs?"
    No
    "Did you fall asleep at the wheel?"
    No
    "Then what the fu*k where you doing?????"
    I had cramp in my leg and was bending down rubbing it.. Thought I was still going in a straight line...

    Result, I managed to save the car from being totalled. But I'm still lumbered with this

      Shame, but it looks like it will fix.
      Was he insured is the vital question?

        I didn't need to threaten him!
        My obvious displeasure with very angry red face & smoking nostrils did the trick. That's why he was looking so sheepish..

                I was gonna have it tidied up in the next few weeks anyway. So I may well have the rest of it painted now..
                I have to get 2 quotes for the insurance.
                Im adamant that my mate is gonna repair it. He's very good at what he does.
                They wanted to confiscate it off to an approved repairer on a recovery truck. Going by past experience, they are to be avoided at all costs!! Full of young numpties on bonuses who just lash the car together quickly.
                And in my case will prob take it in turns to rag it up the road to see how fast it is..

                  Yeah it's fixable Kev. Bloody annoying too!! I don't lose my rag often. I could ave killed the little pri*k though.
                  Might ave got the Police to show an interest then eh?!

                    Sorry to read about the accident.

                    Have a look at this one:


                    This happened to Dermot just before the Lakes Tour this year. On thread No 40 you will see what happened to mine 2 years before that. It's a rotten experience, but it catches us out with out Classic cars now and again. Driving them is part of the fun of owning one, and as with all cars there is a risk. It looks as if a decent panel beater will make an easy job of putting it right for you. You can't turn the clock back so just take care in getting someone to make a nice job of it and then you can get back on the road and enjoy your car again.

                    Good Luck with sorting it out.

                    Cheers, Tim.

                      You dont have to take it to the insurance company's approved repairer. As it wasnt your fault you are entitled to have it repaired by who you choose, but you will have to get several quotes to make sure the price charged is a fair one.

                        Tim.
                        It looks like Dermots damage was virtually identical to mine.. Bad luck with your's too.
                        Why is it that when you drive something that you dont care about or which is easily replaceable, no-one comes near you? As soon as you're out in something rare/old/special, there's idiots coming from all directions????
                        Grrrrrrr

                        Plentysideways..
                        Yep, doing that already. Also my insurers agreed straight away that I could have it repaired at a garage of my choice. I guess I'm quite lucky in that respect

                              Bad luck.....the fact he never stopped initially rubs salt in the wound

                              He probably was texting......it causes more crashes these days than anything
