ScottSummerhayes Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Im so Fcuking gutted, just came home from my first ever crash. here is how the story goes: Late for the ladys house but not rushing because it was stand still traffic on a dual carriage way leading into you normal average big dual carriage way styled round about. 4 possible exits. I come up very slowly and having to stop to wait for a gap in the traffic.I was in the right hand lane (perfectly legal to use to go straight on or take the 3rd exit) waiting to go straight on. Pulled away pretty quick because it was super busy and wasnt a massive gap changed into 2nd gear and was just turning off into the exit when i get a MASSIVE shunt to the rear offside (left hand side) of my car and the rear end went all light and i was totally sideway but controlled it and then veered off into the left hand lane on the exit and mounted the kerb. got out checked eveyone was ok, it was a mini that went into the side of me. She was pulling out of the first exit and thought i was GOING INTO THE FIRST EXIT EVEN THO I WAS IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE!!! she was also arguing with her little boy. They were all fine but the mini was a mess, writen off is a understatment. It crumpled like paper up to my 5 door escort. She is fully insured/taxed/mot and is taking full responsibility for it. Police came along with the RAC to pick hers up, she admited to not concentrating. Im well gutted for my car, it was in perfect condision and now its going to need: 2x alloy wheels (super bady curbed but not buckled)New offside sillnew offside rear doormaybe new front wing and back wing. even know this will be all professionally fixed on her insurance they will have to blend it back into the orginal worn paint and its always going to look like its been in a crash. I feel sorry for my car, just got some new bulbs and GTI Grill today to Pictures tomorrow in the light Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottSummerhayes Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 Really, a write off. Darn. Im gutted, i love my car. If it is a write off would i be able to take my stuff off before it gets sent away? i just got some new bits and would like to put them on (car is still drive-able just) but i would hate to not be able to put it back to stock. Or should i stick it to stock before they see it? and keep all the bit for my new car (3door mk6 me thinks, dont need 5 doors also might see if i can get a 1. fcuk safe..

TommyT Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Take as much off it mate especially if you aint declared it on the insurance or they will just fcuk you over. Otherwise when they send the inspector round from the insurance company they could turn around and give you fcuk all. Pics????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottSummerhayes Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 Yeah, i called the insurance just now.
