Basically yesterday an estate agent (who my boss knows really well) bashed my car whilst showing some clients a house on the little estate where our office is

apprently because he the clients in his car he didnt say anything at the time but then rang my boss later after I had gone home

Its not a huge bash but its left a pretty bad scrape and scuff marks on my rear bumper (its impossible to sent my car as its made of plastic!)

I have always used Helphire in the past for any accidents that are not my fault as I have always found them excellent and they take the stress out of it without me even having to inform my insurance company etc

When I told everyone at work this morning this is what I want to do they all got in a piss saying "this wasnt fair" on the guy that hit my car and that it will cost him loads of money and really hit his insurance and they are all saying I should have it done as cheaply as poss and get cash off him etc etc

My opinion is WHY SHOULD I!! he hit MY car so I should choose how and when I get it repaired - but everyone is making me feel bad

I just want some opinions of non biased gays please  :nod:

Can I suggest you put out a contract on him....start by leaving a horses head in his bed. :suicide:

Right everyone is having a massive go at me now and I feel like Im going to cry - Im being steamrollered into him "giving me a bit of cash to sort it out"

If it is a £50 banger then they have a point. If not then tough shit on the other guy. Go through insurance and get a proper job done (and a courtesy vehicle while they have your car).

What the hell is Helphire though? Is this the bit they are objecting to?  Not got an opinion if it is, though why use them anyway? To be honest, going through my insurance (direct line) was a piece of piss - one claim my fault, one claim someone elses. Clear blame in both cases so they were quite simple, as is yours.

You ring them up. Tell them what happened. They sort it out. One or two phone calls max. No stress.

Like you say JFW don't use your insurance company, use a claims company, Helpline, or Accident Express.

Unlucky to the bloke who hit your car but he was at fault, therefore you want your car back to how it was before the scrape.  I'd be having a go that he didn't notify you straight away.  Also ask for the names of his clients as he could turn around at a later date and deny that it was him.

Tell your colleagues to rack off, it's not their car so it's not their decision.  Like Batch says though I probably wouldn't kick up as much of a stink if my car was an old banger, but if you really like your car stick to your guns and get his details.

Can somebody explain what the advantage is in using Helpline or Accident Express over making a claim off the other guys insurance directly?

I'm not having a go, I've never heard of these type of companies.

Has the bloke left contact details for you to get in touch or tried to phone you/speak to you in person?

If he has, it would probably be courteous to talk things through. If he's willing to pay it's not going to be any more or less hassle for you.

Fuck the other bloke i say.

It was his incompetence in the first place in hitting your car, pursue the claim!

He has left his details but I dont wanrt to ring him from here with everyone sticking there oar in - I would imagine he has a company car as he is an estate agent?? To be honest Im dreading speaking to him if he is some smarmy estate agent


By the way my car is a Peugeot 107 less than 2 years old - I dont really love it or keep it immaculate or anything but as its not my fault I would like it sorted properly


Helphire basically sort everything out with the person at faults imsurance company on your behalf - so you dont even need to let your insurance company know (In past expereince my own insurance company hold these things on your record anyway and penalise you wether its your fault or not) they also collect your car from wherever you chose and leave you a like for like courtesy car - my friend had a BMW M3 and was given a Porsche as a courtesy car!!

I hadn't heard of these companies either until some women hit my car (from behind) on the M4.  I took it into Alfa and they told me about Accident Express.  Basically you ring them up give them the details of the other driver.  They then speak to that insurance company and pursue the claim for you, you get the same type of car as yours (or next model up) for the entire time your car is getting fixed.  You don't have to complete any claim forms, diagram drawings not needed nothing.

I called them up at 11 on a Monday morning and by 12 they had arranged for my car to get booked in, the hire car to be delivered and my car to be picked up.  2 weeks later, with me having to pay for nothing, my car was returned to me.  I even gave their car back to them on fumes (due to the petrol strike) and wasn't billed for it.  FANTASTIC!

Do what your doing now....try not to worry about the people at work,if they were half decent they would be supporting you not making you feel guilty,if it was them they would be doing exactly as your doing.

As my mother always says, its not a no blame bonus, its a no claim bonus. I think your insurance company will still try and screw more money out of you if you do it through them even if its not your fault.

If your car's less than 2 years old I'd want it sorted out properly, take it to a Peugeot garage get a quote, give the guy a call tonight (or get your fella to if you don't want to) tell him how much Peugeot said it  will cost.  if he wants to pay it fair enough, if not go through the claims company.

Oh and Batch the claims company make their money by charging the "hire" of your replacement car to the insurance company, which is why you always get the same kind of standard of car as yours, if not better.  Instead of the Corsa that some insurance company would give you.

Basically JFW, your work colleagues are all cunts :D

If it was me I'd give him a ring. Simply book into a garage that will give you a courtesy car. It's not going to take long to repair anyway.

My opinion is that whilst it was his fault, if he is willing to sort things out there is no need to hurt his no claims. Although if he's got a company car then he'd claim on the company's insurance anyway wouldn't he? Doesn't the whole argument become a bit irrelevant?

Not if you go through a claims company, and not your insurance company.  I thought the same thing as your mum Will, but it's really not the case if you don't technically go through insurance.

I think you're missing the point Si, the bloke is an estate agent!!!!!!!!! 

Am I missing something?

Is their any other option JFW asides from having it sorted from your own pocket? If not then tell your colleagues to shove their bitching where the sun don't shine.

Or even better, if they really are so concerned about this bloke then why not suggest that they chip in and cover it themselves.

Im not sure if its a company car -  Im assuming

Thanks for your help guys I feel a bit better

I have the day off tomorrow so going to sort it out from home away from all these drama queens - at the end of the day I dont know this guy from Adam so I have no loyalty to him

i hit a company car when i was younger, i spoke to the driver and even rang up the owner of the business offering to pay for the damage (it was about £600 for both cars, fuck all really) but he was adamant that it should go through the insurance. he even said that his son had done the same thing, and he'd paid for it, not the son. what a bastard. still went through my insurance and i lost my NCB.

JFW, fuck 'em. i guarantee if it had been the other way round they'd be riding you for all you had, so screw those bastards over. dont let your colleagues bully you into something you dont want to do, you're not the one at fault here. he shouldnt have left the scene anyways!

Not true, because in a no blame claim  it is not you policy you are claiming from. It is the other guys.

The  only risk is if they contest it (so not admit liability) - then you may have to claim on your insurance to get the repair done and this will be removed when blame is established (asked DV). However this is not the case here given the bash happened when JFW was not in the car! Unless she was illegally parked.

Given the convenience I can see why you'd use the third party company though. Noted for future reference.

And JFW, it's your call. Personally I agree with Jan. If you are confident the bloke will go to a reputable repair centre (dealer or pro-shop approved by Peugot) and will hire you a car for the duration then it's up to you.

You need a proper job done either way so resale value is not affected. Make sure wherever you go (insurance or otherwise) that the repair will not invalidate your Peugot body work warranty.

If the bloke wants to sort it through insurance then I think it's fair enough if you want to use the Helphire etc.

If he wants to pay it personally (still not through insurance) then I think it's fair enough. He probably doesn't want to go through insurance for the same reason as JFW.

I'd speak to the guy first. Ok he didn't stay at the scene, but he didi call later. How many times do people knock a parked car & just clear off.
See what he has to say, & remember he is the "guilty" party so no need to feel intimidated.  It may not be a Co car, he could just be paid a mileage allowance.
Key thing as has been said, is to ensure that it is restored to it's former glory by a peugeot dealership. Way I'd approach it is to let him do all the hassle & arrngements (like Helphire). If he is willing to do this Ok. Get his Insurance details though what ever you do.

come on, open your eyes, do you guys honestly think if she'd hit him he'd be as nice as that? he wouldn't give 2 shits about running it through his insurance.

That's the sort of logic that people use to justify being a cunt in the first place.

There's no reason not to ring him and see what he says. If he's being difficult or you feel as if he's preassuring you to get it sorted on the cheap or something then just tell him to stuff it and do what you were going to anyway with these thingy people who sort if for you.

He's an estate agent, therefore I say you take him for all he's worth. It's what he does to Joe Public every day.

I love you guys

 :blowkiss:

Now if someone could just sort out my bottom wisdom teeth hurting (and tell me why it feels like my top ones are growing back!!) and why the postman hasnt delivered my singstar game this morning I will be truely happy

a tipple of brandy will sort out the wisdom teeth.

how much is a tipple??

Blame Ralphy... or Leggett.

Stolen it for ebay :) Singstar is great. I can't sing for toffee, it makes it even funnier.

I cant sing neither - but Its so much fun isnt it!

I dont even have a console to play it on!!!! we play it at my friends and we have done all the songs to death! found the R&B one on sale so it would be rude not to

as much as it takes to stop your teeth hurting.

Treat others how you would like to be treated is my advice - or at least give the guy a call to hear what he has to offer

Singstar rules. I look forward to getting rock star or whatever its called!

ha ha my time to shine

1. Helphire are cunts, yes they sort out your claim quick but what they do is give you a creidt hire car at 3x times the price of a normal hier car and then recover the money from insurance companies thus costing us all more due to increased claims therefore increased preiums. The repiar will also be a creidt repair again with an inflated cost.

2. If you want I can handle your claim? i'll ring at lunch? I will also give you any advice you want.

3. What I suggest you do is take your car to the most expinsve repairer in swindon and ask for  pro forma estimate. This will give you the excat cost of the repair. Ring the guy and tell him you have got the damage cost and it will cost x and invite him to pay. When he gives you the cash take your car to the cheapest place possible and pocket the difference. If he doesn't pay you in 7 days ring me. I search the MID and findout his insursers and they can pay for it.

We are all assuming of course that he IS insured. Thats why I would get his Insurance details anyway.
As for the teeth, I'm quite good with the molegrip's (pliers)

When someone went into the back of me, it was a friend so slightly different anyway.

First thing I did was get 2 estimates from different garage about how the much the repair would cost, how long it would take and what parts were needed. Both garage said pretty much the same thing and estimated the cost would be around £750.

I went to him and said, right the repair will cost £750 obviously its easier for both of us if you just give me the cash. Saves going through insurance and possibly saves us both money in the long run. If its too much money then we'll have to go through the insurance company.

He didnt have the money so I raised it with my insurance company and 4 months later it got bloody sorted.

Car Insurance can be bloody expensive. Personally if I was at fault for an accident and I could afford to pay the bill myself I'd rather do that than lose my NCB.

As already suggested. I'd get a few quotes ring this estate agent and say it will cost x amount to fix my car. You can either pay me the cash within 7 days or I'll go through my insurance company.

about 3 litres  :soapy tit wank:

right - Ive rang the guy - he wants me to get a quote and if its "less than a few hundered quid" he wants to pay himself!!

he was slightly patronising and asked if I had tried to "Rub the scratches out"

Im not some stupid little clueless girl - I worked in a the bodyshop office of a main Ford dealer for 2 years

I will be going to a Peugeot dealer for a quote and the quote will include the hire of a courtesy car for me too - I dont mind if he wants to pay but I dont wish to be inconvienanced to save him a few quid - I dont want to be completetly unreasonable but I know if the shoe was on the other foot he would be having all he could out of it

The joke of it is my boss was in the exact same situation a few months ago a 18 year old boy went into the back of him and his mother rang and pleaded to pay herself so as not to effect his insurance - my boss went to a "friend in the trade" who doctored a quote so he made a couple of hundered pound out of it - I dont think he is in a position to tell me what to do

It's never going to be less than a few hundred quid, especially if you go direct to Peugeot. I reckon you're looking at at least £450 if you go to them, possibly more if they want to replace the panel (as it's plastic they probably will because it's lost it's rigidity and it wouldn't do it's job properly if you had a serious prang in future).

I think the same Sam - and if thats what needs doing that thats what will have to be done - my car is less then 2 years old so I need it to be up to warranty standards etc

My boss is trying to go and get me to see "his friend" he can bore off - Ive told him polietly I dont wish to disscuss it with him any further

Give him a ring and get him to sort it all out for you if he wants to do it the non insurance route.Explain that you need a replacement car and play it up a bit girly and pathetic.Its down to him then.

Im good at girlie and pathetic!   :nod: :D

Bet you're not as good as me.

if he was a good enough driver in the first place none of this would be happening. it's his fault so tough shit.
go through insurance cos then at least your covered and he can't screw you over

Just ring me. I'll do it for free. The claim that is not the repair. All you have to do is get a pro forma estimate

... the bonnet?

badum tish

GFM I cant imagine you being serious and doing proper work

I hit someone a few years ago; went into the back of them. I sort of new the person, so said get a quote, get it repaired and i'll pay the garage. She was really cool about it and did just that, so i paid her garage once repaired and neither of our insurance companies needed to get involved and everything was thooper (super).

Boo, I got both singstars for the PS3. But I usually download tracks of singstar.
I find rap/r&b songs very hard to get points.

To be honest the R&B one has more old stuff on it like the four tops and Diana Ross and the supremes
But also Amy Winehouse back to Black and Pussycat dolls Buttonz with Im deeply excited about

I would love you to sing buttons to me.

Swooooooooooooooon

whats got into you today you bloody weirdo?

Would you encourage dancing as well?

My life is not all about being silly, drunken behaviour and singing in hotel bars! I also happened to be highly regarded consummate claims professinal.

Im not sure Id like serious Dill

I like crazy singing Dill

Me too but he is only allowed out at the weekends when not in the company of moany boring g/f! I understand he is out on the 16th at cheltenham away wooooooooooooooo gonna get coked off my face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is if Bushey comes to collect my season ticket for you to get a ticket for 'Nam!  He hasn't done any negotiating yet!!

Dill will not be doing drugs at all. Ronie I am grabbing ticket tomoz arent i?

Update: Ok I have not had time to go to a main Peugeot dealer so I went to a little local garage to get a quote - they quoted me £188 + VAT to repair and paint the bumper but this little garage dont have any courtesy cars and would need my car for 2 days so I cant really have it dont there- anyway I thought it would be good as a ballpark figure and he would be able to decide whether he wanted to pay by cash or go through insurance - so rang the ming yesterday he said he "needed time to think about what he wanted to do" and said he would call me back

hes hasnt yet - How long do I give him???

Not very long if I were you, you need your car repaired and if he has to think about £188 which isn't really that much for a car repair then will prob end up insurance anyway!

Ring him again and say sorry fella I need my car fixed (and a hire car), you're dragging your feet a little here so I'm going to go through a claims company.  What does he need time to think about, he was in the wrong he should pay.

Go through the proper channels, otherwise you could end up out of pocket here.

I know - I think I will put a deadline of like 2pm then thats a whole 24 hours he has had to think about it - I have already had to go out of my way to get a quote so thats it now

why are people such arses??

On a lighter note I just had to ring my other work and Johnno is on reception today and we had a delightful chat

Go through your insurance and let them sort it out, that is what you pay them to do.  If you are making a no fault claim then it should not affect your NCB for next year.  You will then be able to get a loan car for the duration of the repair and a guarantee for the work carried out.  

From my own personal experience, arrangements made that do not involve the insurance company seldom work out satisfactorily.

Excellent use of the word "seldom" there EB.

Seldom is, ironically, seldom used.

Good word though.

eb1 is spot on.you gave matey a price and he's dithering so fuck him(not literally)
always go via your insurance company if you need to again.people generally cannot be trusted

  There is a hint of elm...in seldom, which might explain its woody sound.

   Interesting trees elms...shame we lost so many in teh 70's to Dutch elm disease.

JFW's gonna use a claims company I think, so no problems there.  This bloke is living up to his estate agency tag.  He should have been more than ready to get on with paying you, he's dealying you for no good reason.

I give myself very good advice,
But I very seldom follow it,
That explains the trouble that I'm always in...

My boss gave me his Email address and Ive sent him an Email so he even has a cowards way out where he doesnt even have to speak to me in person but nothing - yet

I might start a personal hate vendetta agaisnt him - that will be fun

Just phone him up, tell him you can't be bothered to mess around any longer as the car needs fixing asap, so you're going to go through insurance (he doesn't need to know it'll be a claims company).

Start a personal hate viennetta against him! I don't know how it would work yet but it would be ace. Maybe fill the box with frozen poo. He'd think he was getting a delicious treat, but then... boom! The disappointment would be crushing

A vengeful viennetta vendetta!

So what do your workmates say about this now.  Do they still think going the "nice" way was a great idea?

where would I get frozen poo from??

Im going to sign him up for some Tena for men

 Birdy's freezer?

Nice edit!

Equally a hint of elder.  berry interesting..

They are just being big gay queens like normal really

Frankly Charlotte I'd get a move on. With the state of the housing market at the moment, said Estate Agent may be out of a job pretty soon.....

Seriously though, you mentioned earlier that the car was only two years old. IMO that warrants a full and proper repair job so as to not jeapordise its potential resale value if and when you come to sell it. If that means going through insurance, so be it. You've given the bloke ample opportunity to sort it and he hasn't. Take him to the cleaners......

Why the big fuss over £188 worth of scratches? It's hardly life or death is it? I'm sure he'll call you back in a few days, after all he was good enough to ring up and tell you what he'd done in the first place. And I'm sure it can be done in a day and no need for a loan car. Chill!

I think that's the point Digglie, it's only 188 quid, so what's the need for thinking time, you either accept the quote and pay up or say no.  I'd be annoyed if he hit my car asked me not to go through insurance and then needed thinking time.

I wish I worked with the Gays.

I dunno, I'd still cut the guy a bit of slack, after all I'm sure many people wouldn't have owned up to it in the first place.

If it were my car it would be in the dealership getting a proper job done through insurance.

Harsh? Well that's tough luck for messing JFW around. At the end of the day he drove into a parked car. I wonder if he'd have owned up if there weren't two independent witnesses in the car?

But not in Malaysia it seems where Anwar faces prosecution for just that!

OK Ill scratch your car to pieces and see how you like it bitch!!!

jfw.do what batch said he would do.i'd do exactly the same.

post his email address on here, the fun we could all have would be worth the scratches.

been trying him all day but his mobile is switched off apprently he is now on holiday!! - So Ive rang his office and spoke to his boss whos now dealing with it - I hope he gets sacked!

Well it is a company vehicle so I'd imagine the company must take some responsibility, good shout getting the boss involved!!

JFW do you know this chaps vehicle reg? If so tell me what it is and I can tell you who his insurance company is.

I told you to ring me but no...............

Firstly, why has he left his boss to 'deal with it'? This is his problem, his fault, his responsibility.

Secondly, I can only echo the comments from Batch, WTRRA and arriba above. The time for messing around has to stop. You should not fear approaching your insurance company on this matter. You are the innocent party and have evidence through two independent witnesses that Mr Estate Agent is at fault. Play this one by the book.

FWIW, I think the quote of £188 you have been given is way too low for a professional repair job, which IMO is what you should be looking at on a two year old car to maintain or maximise its resale value. If you do decide to proceed down this route, get at least three quotes before committing to anything, and I'd suggest one should be from the dealer or their approved repair specialist.

Or just call GFM.....

Insurers have approved repairers, as the work has to be guaranteed. If "boss" hasn't come back to you by tomorrow a.m. call him and say you are putting it in the hands of your insurance co. ... and make them your next call.

twice I've agreed to go outside insirance and twice I've been stitched up - leave it to the professionals (that includes GFM by the way) - you're risking your money and your insurance record and that's not a good idea

he didn't get back to you and has fucked off on holiday.the right advice as already been given.let those who take your insurance premiums earn their money.

Even approved repairers can be cowboys, as I found out. Subsequently my old insurer has cancelled their contract with them.

JFW, I'd just try and sort it out now, I wouldn't wait for the boss to get back to you. You've told his boss and if he/she gets their knickers in a twist it's the blokes fault for not telling his company.

To be fair if I took my car to a garage and they were cowboys, I just wouldn't have left my car with them.  Cowboys aren't exactly hard to spot.  Where did you leave you car Sam parked next to the Saloon?

If it's a hairdressers car you should park it next to the salon instead.

Salons seldom have spare saloon parking space.

I bet Vidal Sassoon seldom runs out of parking space at his salon for his saloon.

I've heard being the big Chevy Chase and hearts fan that he is, when he gets chauffeured around Vidal Sassoon, watches National Lampoon's in his marroon saloon on his way to his errr, salon

They looked professional enough when they did the estimate and when I dropped the car off. They're a national company as well. It was just the amount of time it took them to do it (quoted 48hrs but took over two weeks) and when I picked it up no two panels were the same shade of red - basically a really shit spray job.

I was only kidding Sam, was implying that when you drove your car in it was like a scene from a wild west film, i.e. the mechanics were dressed as cowboys and their horses were tied up outside the saloon etc.

Ignore me fella.

Im hoping to have mine repaired at the Fish Brothers Puegeot repair place in Elgin - I hope its not there that was bad??

I brought my car from there and it has to be serviced there (its due a service) so I thought it might be easier just to get it all done in one foul swoop whilst I have a courtesy car

I don't think cowboys had cars though janaage, how would they know how to fix them?

That was my point Ben, why I wouldn't leave my car with them to try and fix it.

Pirates could probably work it out.

i had mine done there a couple of years ago.i was well pleased with the job.if you go via the insurance its guaranteed anyway.not happy,then back in it goes.your job aint one that would get fucked up anyway i reckon.

Probably but you'd have to time it so they're definitely on shore at the time and not busy on the high seas.  Wouldn't want Capt Hook changing my oil filters, changing a tyre or finishing off a paint job on my car though.

Pirates (or lack there of) is a direct cause of global warming. Fact.

As arriba said ... I'm happy to recommend Fish Bros too. I used Fish Bros when I had a Peugeot before I went undercover fighting SMERSH.

(PS. Think your swoop should be fell, not foul.)

I'm sure that some cowboys must have had a Colt or a Mustang.

I wonder if cowboys had insurance.

They'd be more likely to be after a Cherokee surely ?

If the repairers are cowboys does that mean they just put Apache on it?

Say what you like about cowboys, damned nice chaps.

And if they do a bad job, then maybe one could sioux them.

I'll get my coat.

Their workmanship on compact cars is laughable ... you should see that mini, ha ha!

This should keep us busy until kick-off:

http://www.native-languages.org/languages.htm#alpha

I know it's pre season, but 9 pages about a few scratches on a car?

Fucking hell, things are getting desperate...............

 That's nothing to crow over....not sure what huron about.

You're right ... we need to raise the bar a bit. If we find something intellectually higher, what a topic that would be.

 :hiya: ... what a smiley!

Has Malpas got an opinion ?   We could ask Mo-hi can get it sorted.

Good Skills people !

Surely if it's just a scratch a tee-pee cut will do the job?

How?

If it's only scratches, surely we can buff a lo ad of them out ?

 :clap: Superb Nev!

There's a bloke works near the Oasis might know ... Tom at Hawks worth I think he's called. Although he is more of an expert on choppers. Or was, until a tragic accident when he knocked an old lady down in the north of England. In Hull he copped her.

Im proud people cared enough to write 9 pages of opnions (crap)

I feel warm and fuzzy inside

and Helphire have today been called! whoop!!

See JFW, it would have been so much better if you'd added  "despite my reservations" to that

I find the chaps insurance company for you and you call helphire!!!! I'm going to wee on when I see you next you have been warned!!!!!!!!!!!

batch had this all cleared up on page 1.

If only all claims could be settled in one or two calls my working day would be bless. Your view of motor claims is naive

The saga is still rumbling on - Im too stressed to go into any more detail

Oh come on - you can't put that and then not tell us what has happened - we are sat watching in suspenders... Oh sorry I mean suspense !!

Next week we'll get 9 pages about the botched repair job :o

This is what happens when you don't use me!

Go on, let it out. It'll amuse us until quitting time make you feel better.

I did use you yesterday!! your info came in very handy!

well basically made up a (teensy little) lie and told him I had been to peugeot and I needed a whole new bumper and it was going to cost approx £600 ra de ra as I thought he would then turn around and say - no probs lets go through insurance


I phoned help hire - he then phoned me back saying the estate agents are going to pay for everything no matter what the cost - I still want to go through Helphire to avoid me having to drive to other side of Swindon to get a quote then drive home then take me car back when they can book me in etc

Im my head I just want to tell him I want to do it through insurance - but when he speaks to me hes so smarmy - its like he makes me say what he wants

I got cross and told him I couldnt speak to him earlier as he was stressing me out too much - I let him see my weekness  :cry:

Rape him charlotte

Phone up, tell him to book it in at Peugeot and organise a courtesy car. If they'll pay no matter what the cost then they don't need a quote.

Just make sure the job is booked in by them.

anyway Ive started to feel like Toni now

You felt palpitations?

not yet - just by my outbursts of emotion - I might get my mum on here soon

Pah, easy, you're just rubbish. :) :) Seriously, I must have got lucky with direct line I suppose.


Oh and JFW, lies made baby Jesus cry.

Hope it gets sorted soon.

You're ok for the time being. You haven't:

a) Started using the word 'hun' in every sentence.
b) Set up a date with fB.

leave it till monday when I am back at work. I will phone the easte agent and tell him that it is going through his insusers and that any furture contact should be thorugh me. I will then report matters to his insuers who hopefully within a week will have repaired your car and given you a couresty car. I will do it all for free just because I am nice bloke. If you had phoned me last week I would have had it all sorted now.

If you have any problems today with the chap ring me I have pm my mobile number. I don't mind ringing the chap today for you but as I am not work I can't phone his insuers.

Since you work in INSURANCE, I find it quite surreal that you can't spell the word Insurer (3 times in fact)  ;)

dil you after a ride?

When the car's repaired I guess,   oh, hang on a minute.......

Bumpity Bump.

Some cunt has just twatted the drivers door on my wheels. Left a two foot long scratch plus pushed in the door and the mirror. Just as I was about to sell the car too. Pissed off like no tomorrow as I'll have to go through my insurance to get it fixed.

I suspect it was some little cunt on a pushbike or motorbike looking at the location of the actual damage.

My cars going in for repair Saturday too

told the estate agent I couldnt talk to him any more as he made me too cross!
