Not again!!!!!

Postby miss-enzo » Sun May 03, 2009 10:19 pm

:cry: was down helping my friend paint her kitchen today, about 2 hrs in I hear my car alarm going off, I go out to see a local solicitor looking at the passenger wing of my parked car, and he said "Im really sorry but I crashed into your car"

Not a happy camper..... it the opposite to the one the priest hit not too long ago! so gutted, the car was spotless and now, well look for yourselves.

I know it could be worse and all that but 2 hits in less than a year is a bit much to think "ah sure its not too bad"

in fairness to the guy now he was genuinely very apologetic (Sp?) and his hands were shaking as he wrote down his details. He did also say he doesnt care how much it costs or where i go to get the car 100% perfect again.

so i rang my panel beater and he said if its any worse than the damage the priest done (which it is) ill need a new panel..... some dose cause it'll take ages, not sure about gettin a 2nd hand one might just get a new one. just as well i havent had my wheels sprayed yet cause he ripped a load of paint off the front wheel too....

i know ya..... to care would either of them look where they're going!! i mean a red car is pretty easy to see especially when its bright and not raining!! which it was both days these happened!

the priest apparently shouldnt even be on the road!!! he has 65yrs ncb!!! and has recently had both hips replaced!! :? its a disgrace really that he can still drive.....

the solicitor just wasnt lookin, despite the fact the he had to walk past/towards my car to get to his own car..... :x

ouch... sorry to hear that. :( good positive points by d_dan though, will be easy to match the paint colour, and hopefully just a wing. Hope you get it sorted easily and quickly.

Thats sucks balls.
Look at it this way though, the 2 times its happened, the 2 other parties have come up and admited it, would have been a lot worse if you'd come back and seen it that way with no idea who done it.
