Was driving through Birmingham city centre this afternoon at about 4:30pm. Basically someone ****ing idiont thought he would try to get into the lane i was in, whilst i was still in it!!
Basically he hit me at the rear and to the side. Damage looks mainly superficial eg paint. There doesn't seem to be any dents to the bumper although the offside wing is scraped, a massive chunk of alloy is missing but on the whole not that bad.
I pulled over and flew out of my car effing and blinding but the 25 yr old bloke was nearly in tears already
Took all his details and drove off. On the way home I started to stress that first of all he may not have any insurance then the usual hellish @*!# you have to go through with Insurance companies etc. I started thinking that I only wanted Lambo authorised people dealing with my car and not some random cowboys who would just bodge it. I stopped by the Lambo dealership which is conveniently on my way home. I told Dom, the guy woho sold me my car, he immediately phones a guy called Zee. Apparently Zee's company is the only approved company within 100 miles or so and his work is supposed to be second to none. he starts telling me that although there is no visible damage other than the paint there may have been a twisting of the chasis, the carbon fibre strengthenings inside the bumper do not flex and may have broken etc. He assurred me that my car will probably come back in better condition than it was in before the incident. I mention to him that I'm worried about what shitty replacement car I would be getting at which point he says that he will give my details to a company called accident exchange who will sort everything.
At 17:15 Accident Exchange called and said they will deal with everything on my behalf and all would be paid for by the other guys insurance as he had admitted liability. I started to feel a bit more relaxed now as it was all being taken out of my hands. Accident exchange called the guys insurance company to confirm he was insured, which he was, and called me back to confirm all was present and correct.
Now to the best bit. The guys at accident exchange said to me:
AE: What car would you like as a replacement?
Me getting defensive said:
Me: Nothing less than a Lambo
AE: Well we don't have any Lambo's at the moment...
Me getting annoyed said:
Me: Well what do you have and I ain't driving a ford or anything like it!!!
AE: What about one of these?
OOOOOOOH YEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS PLEEASEEEE!!!!!!!
So tomorrow morning a 56 plate red Ferrari F430 is being delivered to me to thrash for the time that they have my Lambo. I can't believe that I am actually happy someobody drove into me!!! My car is gonna come back with two new wheels and will be pristine and I'm getting a 430 to hoon around in in the meantime
