Someone broke my car. :(

beezer123 · 20-11-09, 10:56 PM

As I posted in the FJ thread, I just got a phone call from my mum back home saying that someone has crashed into my car when they were out.

They hit it so hard that they smashed the front completely in, forced the CD player to pop out and land on the floor, pushed the car back so much that impaled on the neighbours car and both cars are on the pavement.

So I now have a siamese non-twin car which are both conjoined at the rear and also mine has a smashed in front.

Apparently it's going to have to be a write off.

ElectroGirl · 20-11-09, 11:07 PM

Sorry Beezer

Let's hope it doesn't...
Did the guy who smashed into it reveal himself?

beezer123 · 20-11-09, 11:10 PM

Well my mum phoned me again to say that the police phoned them back to say that the someone had got in touch with them to tell them that they smashed into my car after having a coughing fit.

He tried neighbours doors but nobody answered.

Apparently his insurance papers and stuff all check out so it will be down to his insurance.

I guess I'm lucky in that respects.

Mum's going to send me pictures in the morning when it's light.

iFreeZone · 20-11-09, 11:14 PM

Oooh! Thats bad!! Hopefully insurance from his side coughs up... they have to!! I remember this happening to a mate, He was in a bad mood for a loooong time

tronsmith · 20-11-09, 11:38 PM

Bad luck man! If it's as bad as it sounds it will be a write off. Hopefully the insurance company will be generous in their valuation.

ainsleee · 21-11-09, 12:27 AM

Holy poop. Wish you luck in the car comp

chigley · 21-11-09, 09:01 AM

Good news that he told the police

Hope you get enough dosh off insurance to pay for a new one!

the joker · 21-11-09, 10:04 AM

sorry beezer ...
hope you get it fixed fast (or get a new one

)

Amiethest · 21-11-09, 10:26 AM

So sorry mate. My other halfs parents car was wrecked like that and the person just drove off, so they ahd to take the blow, at least you have an honest one. Hope it gets sorted for you soon.

LiamGTR · 21-11-09, 10:37 AM

Respect to the person for "coughing up" and admitting to it, not many people would do that!!

Not to worry mate it's only a car it can be replaced

Luky you or your parents wrent i nthe car that the important thing

beezer123 · 21-11-09, 12:09 PM

I've received the pictures and it doesn't look as bad as my mind had conjured up.

The radiator still seems intact and it looks like it's just bodywork damage. I'll let you all judge for yourself.

moviedrome · 21-11-09, 12:11 PM

I think it's not as bad as it looks, panels are designed to crumple.

You'll need a new bumper on the front and bonnet and a new rear panel on the back.

When someone crashed into my fiesta they took out the front panel, 2 doors and the back panel and it cost £1500 to repair

delude · 21-11-09, 12:14 PM

That's decent of the person to get in contact with the police instead of just giving up!

Hope you get it sorted

LiamGTR · 21-11-09, 12:21 PM

Panels are designe to crumple yea but with such a heavy impact, and the fact it was squeezed against another car there could be structural damage to rails etc.

I would guess a right off depending onthe valu of the car what it's insured at ?

beezer123 · 21-11-09, 12:23 PM

Not too sure about the insurance details as my parents sorted all that out for me.
The car was brand new when we bought it and only had 7 miles on the clock.
Never been in an accident or had to claim anything from insurance on it.
Couldn't tell you much more about it.

LiamGTR · 21-11-09, 12:27 PM

To be honest, you don't even need to know much, all you need to know is his insurance details...and you have them! so you're laughing!

Hopefully his insurance ill give you a decent courtesy car i nthe mean time

beezer123 · 25-11-09, 06:41 PM

Update on the situation.

It's a write off.

I am now officially carless, although I have been for the past 4 months since moving to Edinburgh.

Amiethest · 25-11-09, 06:45 PM

Thought it would be but didn't want to put a downer on you.

No courtesy car?

TheDoctor · 26-11-09, 12:39 AM

At a glance i thought the Topic was
"Someone broke my cat"

Simon · 26-11-09, 09:06 AM

Oh no not another person with a ka, they crumple up so easily so that hit probably wasnt that fast. After reversing into a reversing ford ka (in a car park) mine had a tiny mark from a screw but their bumper dented and cracked, light popped out and boot floor pan crumpled. Hope they wrote it off for her sake because she said she carried kids in that tin can, imagine a transit hitting the back at any speed! Well i guess thats a 2* car for you, although yours is a bit newer. Glad knowone was in yours, cars can be replaced - people cant.
