well gutted would be an understatement…
im gonna pull the arch away from the wheel tomorrow and drive it home, that will give me an idea of if anything mechanical has got damaged…
i think its safe to say…. i wasnt in the wrong here… so i think ill get SOME money back… no one claimed fault and the police were called so they filed a report.
might i add, the copper that interviewed me… she was a vw owner.

is your p/s door frame bent m8 as the top looks outwards
i would agree with jelly if its not bent your be fine, but to be fair just looking at the pic i seen worse and yet no leg damage not to give you false hope, but i'd say you got lucky
as long as that door is bent and not the roof lifted etc due to the inpact

i didnt notice that since…
that looks like a lift, the windscreen cracked on impact too..
im getting it in about an hour and then ill be driving it home and giving it closer inspection. the rail seems ok, from what i saw when i popped the battery off. infact, even the battery was still intact.
if that has shunted the roof up would that then be a wrecked body?? if so ill need to find a new shell from somewhere lol.. i cant see it being that bad tho.. itll just look odd…
might just beat some of the panels out and rat it… lol..

but wen we crashed his rs turbo into a road island it cracked the windscreen and lifted the roof/ misshaped it above the door and when we got it to his uncles house out in the stigs i.e the so called bodyshop owner he casted his eye at the roof said it was a right off becuase it would need jiging and straight away costs more than the cars worth

it'll be his fault as he shouldn't have been hitching round a corner without someone posted on the corner warning traffic.
I wouldn't worry too much. Who were you insured with? Makes a difference as to how much you'll get back. may not be a lot!

What kind of insurance do you have, agreed value or not? If not, you'll be wanting to get a proper (decent) valuation on the car, etc and the club MIGHT be able to help you out.

I think i'm right in saying if this guy was blocking the carridgeway for no or dodgy reasons or coming out to the carridgeway its their fault. I hit a bird coming out of a petrol station and her defence was that I was speeding, my solicitor stated that I 'could've been competing for a new land speed record, it's still her fault'
GOOD LUCK with this mate, hope it works out as well as it can!
