shawdreamer Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 ..said he hardly touched her well he hardly did really......the car tho he hit like senna liked walls did his van have one of those ramming points found on ancient greek triremes stuck to its front? cos that'd explain the huge shunt damage off a "low speed" hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamGTR Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Ouch, write off (in the eyes of insurance?) 15mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawdreamer Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Ouch, write off (in the eyes of insurance?) 15mph one rear qauter panel bent....... the insurance wont even bother sending anyone out, they'll write it off over the soddin phone. not many companies left that wont write a escort off for a bit of burd shite landing on the bonnet nowadays....we own dying breeds.

smithyandco Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Improved the back end greatly... Torque from a TD plus a possible fully laden 3.5Tonne van... that could have been low speed. Escort would just crumble from a slight ramming from a van like that... Still, I hope there's no injuries other than £3k worth of "whiplash" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duffa Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 I suppose your right saying not much speed needed ... Not sure if he was loaded ... Assessor coming out tomorrow to look at car but I already told them it'll be written off ... The wife is well stiff today though ...
