Unlucky buddy, maybe you should invest in some flashing beacons and an "Oi!! Truck Driver!! Noooooo!!!!" Signs :evil:
-
:shock: :shock: :shock:
Give me a minute (I'm speechless!)
:roll: Have they hit the same side as before (or will you have another shiny side)?
If it's the same neighbour who took the number last time, I think you owe him a BIG drink.
Hit and run will carry a more severe penalty on his insurance the B****rd :evil:
I once got a letter from my insurers threatening to cancel my insurance as I hadn't reported an accident, it waffled on about me becoming a greater risk to them - it all came to nothing though as they had the wrong registration given to them and I had lots of witnesses to my whereabouts.
Hope everthing will be OK.

This may help :wink:

Who was driving the truck, stevie wonder?
3 vehicles
-
Is that part of the culprits truck hanging off your bumper? Den!
-
sure is mate.....i have just phoned police again....i think he could have been drinking to hit 3
-
...it was a red wagon I see!! What the hell did the driver think he/she was doing??? I mean bashing 3 vehicles in a one-er, no way they didn't know!! I hope you get the muppet responsible!!! :evil:
-
beats me why he did not stop as a truck driver myself we are told to stop and leave details at least or if the accident is reported by a member of the public first we are sacked end of story. hope you get the mindless p that did this. and claim for the phones call to police insurance etc and any expensive you have to fork out for. good luck :shock:
-
The problem is he probably did know he hit 3 vehicles and hoped no-one saw him, hence not stopping :(
-
yes true hope his boss gos to town on him when he finds out from the police
-

red post office wagon i bet :(mad):

why are things never easy ..... yesterday i waited over 6 hrs for the police to attend. they only arrived when i mentioned that because of the way the accident happended ie the driver hit 4 ( yup another one hit ) cars all within 60 meters and on different sides of the road , would they think that there could be the possibility of the driver having had an alcahol bevereage of 4 before getting in to drive. 30 mins later there wa a traffic car outside,
i wonder if it was just me that thought that then :? ........they took some details and went around to see the driver. i was told they would call me let me know what happened. while waiting i said to viks i can already garentee that he wont be in. if he had a drink or 2 then he wouldnt have hung around. probebly went out to buy some more.
well i was right. the police phoned last night. apparently they have left him a form to fill in. he has ........GET THIS....... 14 days to tell the police who was driving. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
if he had been drinking then he has got away with that.......now he can take his time in getting back to the police and make us all hurt alittle more,.
god im so angry at the moment
sorry guys n girls i needed to get that off my chest
-
Let your insurance people loose on the police to get the information to start the ball rolling for the claim, if its his vehicle then his company insurance should cover whoever is driving. If the driver is not covered then that would make the owner inthe poo as well as he has let an uninsured driver loose in his vehicle
-
Sorry to hear about your probs Bud,,,Just when you have spent a load on bits... :cry: :cry: I hope the police are better in Gosport than round here...I caught the (BLEEPS) kicking my wing mirror off my Disco then smashing 4 cars in and kicking 3 walls down in my street...Myself and a neighbour grabbed the (BLEEP BLEEP'S) ...They got banged up said they didn't remember doing it because they were [!Expletive Deleted!] :x :x This was February this year I then had to go to a ID parade in June... :twisted: :twisted: Then in September I get told by the police that because they were in nick already the crown prosecution service will drop the charges :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: justice :twisted: :twisted: Wish i got them when i wanted to but wifey said no :twisted: :twisted:

i had just had my landie resprayed about 2 years ago and id had it back about 3 weeks when some lovley portsmouth children decided to it would be a good idea to jump on my roof - still got the dents now - paints started to crack off !! but it doesnt end there i finnally saved up and bought a roof rack a couple of months ago and the first day back at work some more lovely children thought it was a climbing frame and they decided it would be agood idea to climb down the side of the vehicle - i now have some lovelly scratches from the roof to the wheel arches when the pain has now cracked off- unfortunatly fore the said youths i know them through my work, so i bidded my time till they came into my office asking for some help!! then i made my feelings strongly known and ponted out the error of their ways - havent seen them since :twisted: :lol:
-
Ahhhhh Pompey dont you just love it :? :? :twisted: :twisted:
-
like a hole in the head (gasket) :lol:
-
Nightmare.
Hope you get it all sorted soon.
I might have a spare rear bumper and NS end cap soon if you want.
:)
-
cheers for the offer mate. they have classed my disco as undrivable as the rear door is now letting water in at the top. so they seem to think it may have moved :cry: i am picking up their hire car in the morning. a mitsubishi warrior shogun what ever they look like. just hope they dont write it off. i am trying to stay positive. with any luck it will all be fine. looks like he hit it quite hard as the rear bumper is sitting along way out. sits away from rear crossmember buy about 2" on passenger side......lets hope its the brackets that are bent.
if they do write it off i will have to buy it back to get all my new fancey bits off it again
-
Den! Surely if? And i mean If? they decide to write it off?
You can remove your extra's Anyway? As they are not part of the vehicles original equiptment? :?

i really hope so mate.....just spent £1500 on extras.....

Don't Know for sure? Den!
But common sense says so? :?
-
but common sence and insurance dont always go hand in hand :?
-
Best Ask Barry Scott! What he Thinks?
-
might just do that mate........ :wink:
-
Den
It all depends on how honest you were in the first place when buying the insurance. If you disclosed all the extras and they are covered under the insurance, then the total loss figure should include them. If the vehicle is a write of due to uneconomical repair, then you could ask the insurer if you can retain the salvage.
If it is a higher category of write off, then by law they cannot let you have the salvage but, you may be able to deal with the salvage agents for bits and peices or the insurer may let you remove them.
Hope this helps (sorry, only glanced through the pages)

Dammit, who you insured with! lol i want an insurance who give a decent courtesy car cos i cant drive a corsa!
-
heres an update. i called the garage doing the estimate this afternoon. they say it is border line as to wether it will be repaired or not. more than likly a write off..... :cry: :cry: :cry:
im just hoping i can buy her back. i have put so much blood sweat and tears in to this truck and lots of skin off my knuckles...... its not fair. :cry: :cry:
-
I'm sure you will get first refusal if you want to buy it back....
But I think you should ask them first to take that pile of black c#@p away and bring you that Discovery 3 again.

When i had a vehicle 'written off' by some muppet who didnt see it, (it was bright electric blue for crying out loud!) the insurance company allowed me to buy it back off them.
2wks later i had it back on the road after repairing the damage and getting a brand new MOT to show it was road worthy. This was a few years ago now but I cant see why they wouldn't let you do that too,
Good Luck
