What a massive pisser.

[HillmanImp]

That is rubbish luck. Doubt if it could be too bad if it was hit either side rather than the back. GLWTS

[Cavcraft]

I've pm'd you by the way.

[scruff]

There's no excuse for that - what a arsehole!! 

[hairnet]

if you signed for the whatever on a scanner they can/ will be traceable

 

they also technically left the scene of an accident......[/feds]

[Guest Breadvan72]

Incorrect.  The collision did not occur on a road or in a public place, so the failure to stop/report offence was not engaged.  Nothing was signed for.   There were three separate van visits.    Please leave all the super sleuthing out, people.  Stuff happens.    Buddha says: fuck it, whatevs.  Good karma for one of you if you want an OK car for one ton of basic issue spong.

[Lankytim]

Order something from Ocado and when they turn up take the driver hostage at gunpoint until they pay for the damage, then shoot him anyway. Only then will they learn.

[Guest Breadvan72]

Plan.

[beko1987]

That's fucking gutting! Wish I had the funds to borrow it off you before!

[Guest Breadvan72]

Trouble is a bag of courgettes from Ocado cost more than a Peugeot 205.    We tried Tescovan once but their drivers are tattooed rage monsters with tats on their tats and BNP-breath, and are even more shite at crashing into yer bins, cars, children etc.  With Ocado, at least you get a middle class fuckwit vandriver. 

[Skizzer]

Jeez, that sucks. I'd have been effing livid.

 

Sainsbury's is the way forward for deliveries. Lovely people and good drivers, unlike Tesco who seem to hire only those deemed too psychotic even for pizza moped jobs. One of the Sainsbury's blokes even found me a buyer for my Street Triple at a fair price, in an ironic reversal of your experience.

 

We aren't blessed* with Ocado down here in Wales, but their vans were like bloody wasps when I lived in London and nearly as murderous as the Tesco mob.

 

I'm not helping shift the poor Puglet much, am I? Sorry.

[derskine]

Doesn't look too hard to sort, wish I was closer!

[holbeck]

Forgive me Mr. Bready, for hijacking your thread of pain....

 

Hypothetical situation:

 

The car is available for £100 pounds.

 

Previously the car was available for a very reasonable £400.

 

So does anyone who has half a clue know what a bodyshop would charge to put it right?

 

Would £300 come even close?

 

If it would, then the car might have future.

 

Be a shame to see a nice little motor getting broken up.

[beko1987]

Would just hammering it back so it covered the wheels again obtain it an MOT in oct? Shame as it was bloody straight before!

[Ratdat]

£300 would come nowhere near repairing that in a bodyshop. Not even one side.

[eddyramrod]

Derskine and Beko: my thoughts exactly!  What a damned shame.

[messerschmitt owner]

That's two doors to Chaseracer, take it to the scrappy and pull the wheels off and weigh it in, that is.

[trigger]

That would need major work and money spent on it to get it road legal IMHO, spares only now I'm afraid.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Don't think there's any legality issue is there?? Just a case of how much effort anyone would wanna expend to get it looking right again. Presumably if you wanted to you could just hammer the dents out and carry on? It would look rubbish obvs but there would be no problem if the new owner didn't mind that.

[castros_bro]

Monsieur,  

I may have ein interest in owning une voiture terribles avec dentments but need to eveluate it's quality as a petite road haulage vehicle. Will send a PM after lunch.

 

À bientôt, j'espère

[Guest Breadvan72]

Vive le sport. Je suis sur le train plein des happy shoppers de Bicester village des Bargains*. J' attend le call après le dejeuner traditionnel "trois Pernods et deux bieres" des conducteurs des voitures skankys avec le baited breath.

[trigger]

I was looking at the sharp split in the metal above the wheel, I'd thought a jobsworth copper might pick up on that saying that if you caught a pedestrian you could badly hurt them with it, damage like that wouldn't pass a mot.

 

I could be wrong though.

[beko1987]

Red gaffer tape/silicone?

 

When the drivers rear arch on the puma split my mot tester at the time filled and smoothed it with silicone then sprayed it so it wasnt sharp. Not even an advisory for it

[Guest Breadvan72]

You would have to make the jaggedy bits safe but could do so with some Bodgepower .

 

It's only a cheap French car, not a thing with a soul, but I feel a bit sad that it survived all these years unblemished and tidy only to get fooked up on my watch. 

[chaseracer]

If you do break it, can I have first dibs on the seats/interior bits/bonnet please? I will happily travel to yours with a spanner.

And beers.

PM dispached.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[chaseracer]

Absolutely.

[hairnet]

cover the torn metal with gaffa but i think cos the wheels arent covered youd get a no from the tester for that

 

cue panels inside boot off and

[coalnotdole]

I could be wrong though.

The crossflow rebel just passed its test ok with quite a bit of tape over the pointy bits.

 

With some hammering / dodgery I don't see why it can't pass one or more future mot's if I needed a budget motor I'd be lining up for this!

[derskine]

Source new quarter panel
Cut old quarter panel off
Weld new quarter panel on
Optionally paint correctly

 

Easy!
