Need a bit of a vent - was on holiday all last week in Cumbria. Beautiful place, absolutely stunning scenery and some lovely roads. All was going very well in fact...till some complete chimp decided to have a brain f@rt moment and drove in to the back of me
Basically I'd stopped as the guy in front of me had stopped to turn in to a car park but the idiot in the estate car behind just ploughed straight in to the back of me and pushed me on to the car in front :evil: Police at the scene are going to prosecute the guy for driving without due care and attention but that doesn't really help me much.
Now I imagine there are at least a few of you on here who know just how well I look after my car so you'll understand that I'm absolutely fuming that I now face the very likely probability of my car being written off :cry: Really not sure what to do now to be honest. I'll fight them to try and get it repaired but if I have to settle then I really don't know what to do. I don't want another C43 that I then have to bring up to the standard that mine was, the C32 doesn't interest me really and I can't quite stretch to a C55 yet. That was going to be my next car as and when I'd squirrelled a bit more money away
Just annoys me that I'm coming off worse out of this despite it not being my fault! The other two cars only have one end's worth of damage to deal with, mine has front and back stoved in...bl00dy typical :evil:
Off to await the engineer's report now and expect the worst
Cheers,
Mark
