Unhappy she's died

im not a happy chappy at the moment...
anyone know where i can get an r reg black or imola cinq sporting?

i went to view my prospective new house on monday woke up felling happy dropped the mrs off at her 1st day of work the sun was out the birds were singing and there was a crispness in the air!! me and her dad went to the house armed with a torch (to look in the loft) anyways... we pulled up at the address and i placed my pocket rocket on the kerb with about a foot or 2 in the road... loadsa space to get round i thought. me and her dad hopped out the car for a ciggie just after i rolled one and lit it up a heard the whining of a reverse gear ... as i looked round there was a silver ford focus estate travelling pretty fast backwards towards my beloved car i shouted he slammed on the anchors but the **** behind the wheel was travelling too fast to stop i rekon shes a write off !! bumper, bonnet, h/light, rad, the frame just infront of the rad, wing, possibly the door post aswell, im lookin for another one im seriously pissed off as it was obvious that the bloke wasnt even looking in ANY of his rear views and its an accident that EASILY could have been avoided
anyone have any idea how long insurance usually takes for this sort of thing?



One hell of an annoyed

Re: she's died

Sorry to hear it At least it's obviously him at fault! Insurance response times ranges greatly between companies. Churchill for instance had my car on a tow truck and gone within an hour of calling them! Few days later I got the news it was a write off, and cheque comes through once you send off relevant docs. Have you rung them yet?

Re: she's died

Dunno if it's a myth but your supposed to get no £ if you hit the other party.

Sorry Richy, hope you a quick result, I had insurance money in 4 weeks after my accident.
