Well as some of you may remember i posted a couple of weeks ago saying that my car had been hit and the culprit drove off, without leaving insurance details... but i found her etc etc..

Well i was told after a few tests that my car is repairable and a non write off, so they gave me a courtesy car (a KA!!!! what a joke of a car that is!, lol)
But last night i spoke to a freind who works for the garage and he seemed shocked so i asked him what the problem was, and it now turns out they may be writing my car off, as they have discovered more damage than anticipated under the front wing! including suspension damage. So ive just basically been waiting all weekend for monday to come, so i can find out what on earth is going on with my car.

Does anyone know where i stand if the car is going to be written off. Do i get tha parkers guide value of the car, or do i get what i originally insured the value of the vehicle as, as she hit me?!?

Anyways, i will know more tomorrow hopefully.. fingers crossed.

Hey, yup i managed to trace her down :)
And she has accepted liability so it is all going through her insurance! thank god!!! lol

Just spoken to my mate from the car garage, it is being repaired!
It is getting:
new front wing
repaired door
new alloy
new brake
and something to do with the suspension, he wasnt too sure on that.

But ive got to drive the KA for another week at least, which sucks big time. But on the positive i am working in a different town at the moment and being paid travel costs, so i am quids in there as i dont have to pay wear and tear on this courtesy car.

shit im sorry to hear that, i hope its not a write off! one of my mates was in an accident about 2 months ago now, the driver that hit him was uninsured! he only got his original car back after repairs about a week ago, but still nothing has been done about the uninsured driver!!!!
