Got Done Up The Arse

[tab]

Faark sorry to hear J-man. When I read the topic I thought all the rumours must have been true, but then was slightly relieved when I started reading but not for long.

Hope the wifey is all good. Give her some ing for me buddy

They all say at least everyone’s OK, but it’s still a massive inconvenience to get the bloody thing fixed even if you’re not paying for it.

At least the utes appear a bit tougher in the back from my own unfortunate experience

NOT good at all mate, as long as the better half is ok, that's the main thing.

Can't you read, he said his better half had over $4K worth of damage!.... and his wife has a sore neck!

an tab you right... we just worked out it will take the missus 4 hours to get to work and 4 hours to get home on public transport that means leaving the house at 4:50 am and getting home just after 9pm

thanks for the info guys... the wife has read the replys and and has now agreed to see a doctor to be on the safe side

Common sense to have it checked out.

Get your wife to write out a full written report, sign and date it for future reference as it may be required if there's a future dispute. Best to do it now while all the details are fresh in her mind.

I witnessed an accident about 18 months ago, where a 4 wheel drive ran across my path, but collected the Laser in front of me, and that Laser was written off. Police were called, and I would have expected the 4WD driver to be charged, and I left my name with the Laser driver in case he needed a witness. Twelve months later Metway claims dept in Qld rang me asking for help, as the 4WD driver denied responsibility, and the matter was looking to go to court. I faxed all details to Metway, including diagrams, and Metway later rang me to say that my evidence greatly assisted to win the case. Moral of the story is don't assume that you won't be given a hard time by the other party and in spite of all evidence they deny everything.

As for the damage to the car, maybe it's an opportunity to put on a bodykit for something different. I hope it all works out OK, that you don't have too much inconvenience, and your wife recovers OK.

Cant get a rental and have your insurance company hit the other driver for the cost's?

Geez dude, that sucks. So................. where do they live??

Two things;

1. Don't forget to put the Valet tune in when handing it over to the repairers,and

2. Get it painted Rapid while you're there!

Did that with my last major one, for the discounted $35.00 a day The other company paid up without fuss but it did mean I was out of pocket for quite a few months.

At least now it's only $10.00 a day - and that's about all the auto pulsars are worth! Don't know how Annie can handle it every day

not sure on that one dags.. our insurer said that we can try but they cant guarantee they will pay up... They said the other insurer will pay for public transport though

maybe ill look for a cheap thing klike tab did and try it that way... its just not possible to take madison to daycare and go to work on public transport. Will have to rent a car regardless and hope for the best.

BCL got me thinking about bodykits etc.... how does the insurer look at getting something else done isntead if I pay for the difference??
