Default A sad way for it to end.

As some of you know a few weeks ago in the middle of the bad weather i had an incident with some ice on a the A5 which resulted in me (and two others) going for a spin, i hit a concrete block which the central resevation is bolted to .

The damage was minimal to the eye, i'll post pictures later.
Got a call from the insurance today and the garage have quoted £5500 plus to repair so they have wrote it off as a total loss

Its a sad day .

It's a very sad day so sorry to hear that.

I hope we can convince you to look for another one.

Sorry to hear it mate. I know you've been considering getting rid for a while anyway, not a good way to go though

Truly sorry to hear your car's a write-off. It looked immaculate in the pic you posted up recently.

I hope you're feeling a lot better and that your whiplash is not too painful.

Sad day indeed

Sorry to hear this quip, but probably better than having it repaired if it has a lot of damage. Mabye you will get another?

Thanks all, ron let me know how much the oil was so i can reimburse you .

I know i was thinking of selling but it is a shame for such a good example to end up being pulled apart in a breakers yard after i put so much into it .

Bokkie the whiplash is all cleared now thanks.

Oh well onwards

This is the worst damage that you can see.
