Are you sure you didn't break your neck from whiplash? It can take a while to show

[beko1987]

Tow bar FTW

 

How's yer neck?

 

In all seriousness, fair play to you for just shrugging it off

 

Also - that radio surround would pop off in normal operation

He hit to the side of that, which was lucky for him! The curved side of his front bumper made contact, probably what caused the other side to come away, but we didn't see that bit.

 

My neck was a bit sore for about 5 minutes, I was looking at the rear view mirror thinking "blimey, he's getting a bit clBANG" but it's fine, and tbh I'd consider myself an utter penis if I went to the doctors etc over it, I've got more of a sore neck ogling girls arses at a funny angle

Hmmm, what were we talking about again?

[Kiltox]

Hopefully he will learn to stop fucking around whilst driving even without an insurance raping

[Ghosty]

My mum had a similar issue once where her old Polo's ABS went 'lol nah' and she cracked the rear bumper of a new Jazz (pushed it back and it cracked where it wrapped around the end of the metal bar inside it).

 

She had a cracked number plate, they claimed on insurance for whiplash.

[Kiltox]

Arseholes.

 

Some walloper drove into the side of my Laguna a few years ago (it was 3 years old) because she was in the wrong lane at a roundabout. £2k worth of damage, wrote her Rover 25 off, whiplash claim for two cars coming together side by side at 15mph and she won the claim, fucking my insurance so hard at 18 I had to sell the car!!

I hate all that shit. I'll keep the niggling feeling that he might phone his insurers in the back of my mind, but he would be quite silly to since he went into the back of me...

 

Tbh the only crash I want* to be in is a total write off, since the car is worth far more on paper (top spec initiale, low miles, mint condition*) than its actually worth... I'd claim on the insurance then, bank the phat cheque and buy something for half that...

[Kiltox]

If he does make a claim he ran into the back of you and you have whiplash. Simple.

 

It CAPs at about £200 so don't plan on a total loss to make you rich!

[Roverageous]

Nope. It was top spec on the estates, usually metallic green with seven seats as standard.

Ours was that wonderful brown. Velour seats, electric front windows, electric sunroof, 7 seats...

 

Fantastic.

Ah damn! Still, £200 on here would buy a mighty fine* car. Or lots of blue gaffa tape

[Kiltox]

Probably buy another Zafira from Billy

Whiplash is about £1,500 as far as I know. You could have a fleet of goonas!

Infinite fleet at £0 each!!!

[Kiltox]

That car is fucking ace. Survived 4000 miles with low/no water and now a crash too

[Guest Hooli]

Goonas are like immortals, there can be only one! Which is why as soon as you get two within sight of each other one exploderates.

[dollywobbler]

Fantastic.

Ah yes. That colour too. My dad's five seat Montego estate was Lynx Bronze, another lovely colour. Rare too.

[Mally]

Or half a new Dyson.

Knowing my luck they'd use my case as an example of someone trying to fleece the system and send me to prison and fine me a million quid...

Would the 75 get in? Might try and do that if ut could.

[stripped fred]

Not bad for a big old diesel auto... 50mph speed limit on the M1 for 100 miles helped.

[RobT]

100 miles at 50? Flippin heck that must have been fun*.

[sierraman]

Re the Insurance, I'd be tempted to tell them but make it clear you don't want to claim. Could cause you some aggro down the line if they come back wanting £1500 worth of work and you haven't told them.

[ruffgeezer]

Hmm I seem to have agreed to view a laguna diesel as a winter hack, oops.

 

Also I still need to go and see the Nova Oh and collect the Mazda 3 I have agreed to buy.

 

Anyone want a bland Jap with a Ford diesel mill?

possibly, the details are published on the Tyneside branch of the Northeastern Club for Pre War Austin's (NECPWA) who arranged the show, currently the entry was open to all vehicles registered before 1st September 2000.

 

so next year, if the Rover 75 is either a 2001 or older, then yes, it will be able to be entered.

No, it was quite tedious.

That's the thing isn't it, tell them and risk the price going up next year even if you don't claim. Don't tell them and if it comes out they will dry rince you.

I hope you didn't mean Beko - there's no reason whatsoever he should contact his insurance

[vulgalour]

Had this inflicted on my eyes today so it seems only fair to inflict it on all of yours too.

 

 

You're welcome.
