Truck 1 Civic 0

civicsport · 10th October 2006, 18:05

While Mrs civicsport was driving to work this morning a man in a truck decided he wanted the same piece of road and has restyled the offside of my nice new car,

I AM NOT A HAPPY BUNNY, But at least he has accepted complete responsibility.

Sorry to see that but glad that the guys owned up.

Someone reversed into my car 2 weeks ago. So im going through the same old insurance drama presently.

SUPERTEACH · 10th October 2006, 18:11

Very sorry to see the pics. Spoilt the polish a bit and I don't think the side protectors would have helped. Anyway, nobody hurt and the "other" driver owned up.

"GET WELL SOON" little Honda

OMG!

glad Mrs Civicsport is ok - at least the civic can be fixed

might take a while by the look of it though

edit - from the pics, might have been 'lucky'* and get away with just 2 new doors, new alloy and plastic trim?
Looks like he just missed the main body panel behind the door - and the one underneath them too?

* for a given value of 'lucky' obviously

I hope Mrs. Civicsport is not shaken by the "bump".

I hope everything runs smoothly and the spaceship is fixed asap

Sorry to read your bad news. Hope your wife's okay and not too shaken up.

I would be an Incandescent Bunny, especially if your delivery time was/is anything like mine...

I trust Mrs. Civicsport is fully OK (bunch of flowers, a little massage, soft music, DO NOT lay into her for wrecking your car!), car can be repaired!

Sorry to hear of the bad news Civicsport; hopefully the truck driver owning up will smooth the insurance path.

Ow! Really sorry to see those pics mate

As long as she's okay that's the main thing, as said above, the car can be repaired.

Btw, it wasn't that truck drivers fault that the A19 tees flyover was so damn slow this morning was it?

IWANTACIVIC · 11th October 2006, 05:05

Sorry to hear your news ,Owwwwwwwwww that dont look good but as long as your wifes ok thats all that matters but still not nice to see one of our civic damaged

elfa7 · 11th October 2006, 13:55

Bad luck, civicsport, but no injuries, thats the main thing.

Tough, these Civics --- I expect the lorry was a right off !!!!

elfa7 · 11th October 2006, 13:56

I meant write off

Bungle · 11th October 2006, 14:34

Elfa7, you can edit your posts!

I am really sorry about your car. At least everybody is OK, albeit rather shaken up. I hope everything gets sorted swiftly.

Unfortunatly the panel behind the rear door has been pushed back, the rear door/panel gap is too tight, the rear door doesn`t shut properly and the mrs. said it didn`t feel right when driving to the garage so possibly some damage to the rear subframe/axle.

The insurance assessor is giving the car an inspection tomorrow so I will find out then. Meanwhile we have a Mondeo tdci Ghia to drive about in

civicsport · 14th October 2006, 09:13

Quick update, the rear wheel alingnment is ok, but the bearing is noisy so will be replaced. the goahead has been given by the insurance company and i should have the car back before next weekend. i will just have to check everything is a1 before accepting it back. thanks for all your comments.
