Someone has just smashed into the back of my much loved Ford Capri at some traffic lights and written it off:sad:

The force was enough to bend the boot floor:wacko:

And I've now probably got whiplash as well as a bad back::rolleyes:

Sorry to hear about that Roger.

Whiplash, bad back, emotional distress due to loss of a loved one.....time to call the ambulance chasers!

Just because the boot floor's bent doesn't necessarily mean it's a write off. It will pull back to place again if it's only the back panel that the bootlid closes too that's bent. It's only if there is chasssiss damage where things get complicated.

No win, no fee. Do NOT be fobbed off.

Could the driver safely bring their vehicle to a halt in the space they saw to be clear?

NO, that's why you are aching.

Take them for all you can get.

Idiots.

Yeah, I know, but the insurance company will write it off and I just don't have the time to repair it myself.

Time for that Scimitar I've been wanting.

It was a young mum with kids in the car. Thankfully, they are all OK coz it was a new one with crumple zones and airbags etc.

I feel like I've been run over by a steamroller.

Just bought myself tickets to see Julette Binoche next weekend. Hopefully she'll hear about me being poorly and come and give me a hug.
