Wendy Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 She has been in the wars. There I was minding my own business, sat in traffic when the car infront of me became too impatient and decided to turn around- in the pitch black the oncoming car did not see this and drove straight into her forcing her across the road into me. So my drivers Rear quarter panel is crushed in damaging both adjoining panels. It is driveable but as soon as you hit small bumps the bodywork is rubbing the tyre. I will take photo's in the morning. I feel a little sore, but think this is as I braced myself as I saw it going to happen. Will see how I feel in the morning. I was actually dreading Wasso driving by on his way home and seeing my poor girl. Lets hope the Insurance transition all runs smoothly. Quote

davedutch Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Wendy, What can I say ?? I hope you are okay and don't feel too sore in the morning, as said, metal can be mended - that's what insurance is for! Looks like the V W will become your Daily driver for a while !

Wasso Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Glad you're ok Wendy, where was this, and was it this evening? I worked from home today so any embarrassment is saved. From one car being in the body shop to the other, not having a great deal of enjoyment of your motors of late. As above metal can be fixed, rear quarters aren't cheap for the Zed but it's the inconvenience of insurance and without your blue girl. 1 Quote
Mopedmark Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Glad your ok though the old blue girl will soon get fixed 1 Quote
Wendy Posted February 24, 2016 Author Posted February 24, 2016 Ian (Wasso) yes this evening around 6.10pm on the A43 just as you approach the Motorway bridge going into Banbury. I have my Corrado back - she is nicely tucked up in the garage looking very pretty. I got her back early January and would prefer to be leaving her in the garage so hopefully I will get a hire car.
