for gods sake
local didnt put his handbrake on fully on the hill.
and yes it rolled down the hill and wedged itself between mine and a fence. back bumper stuffed, few marks on the top drivers side panel. my only concern is the dent of about 10 inches long above the filler cap just on the roll of the wing . Last edited by Steve42; 26th July 2019 at 15:00.. |

Ouch! that is bad luck, first thing, make sure you've got his insurance details and start a claim against his insurance. Next, start getting quotes from local bodyshops for the dent repair. Do not allow the car to be 'taken for assessment' or any of that tosh (strongest word I think I'm allowed to use here), If his insurance want to send a qualified auto assessment engineer at your convenient time to you to take a look at the car then that's fine. Good luck!

thanks .
his daughter lives next door so all is well on that score. And we do get on. his little vw is a bit of a mess on both sides. he goes away tomorrow. its sort of funny in a way. but like you say first job get some quotes. only the dent im worried about. bumper is easy to sort out as long as one comes along at the right price . will sort out some photos in a bit. daft thing is I put a post up saying things come in 3 and I had 2 problems then . |

There is always one. I wonder sometimes if they are really fit to be behind the wheel. Makes you wonder what they are like in the rest of their life.

He has been in touch with his insurance.
Told him mine will be scrapped. I don't think so . |
