Yes thanks all for concern but got out completely OK not a scratch (strong car)

I think I will buy him a bus pass

Insurace is stripping car to asses if repairable

It is all the extra time and money you put into the cars you dont get back

NEW wheels and Tyres, all chrome interior trim, clear rear lights, new side lights and idicators, £60 woryh of new front bulbs

never mind we live and learn

Ouch! My One D met a similar end, after hitting water, spinning 360 and then rolling over! Luckily I suffered a minor cut and nothing else, but the car met an untimely end. Like you, I'd just spent £300 on new discs, the front had been resprayed after a paint fault, and had all the rattles sorted. Was v upset!

Have to say that the car was fantastic, not only did all the air bags go off (as expected) but the engine cut out, hazards came on, and the car did a brilliant job of protecting me.

So, without hesitation, I replaced it with a '57 Pepper White Cooper D, and I love it!

Yes he is very gutted Walking everywhere

No hes not grounded, I dont think he meant to do it

Garage is going to repair this £4000 bill

Never mind at least he will get the rest of the year out of this insurance policy

He is doing his PASS PLUS in 2 weeks so that will help next year with insurance

ummm, is'nt that why you are told not to drive the same day you pass. backs up my theorey that new drivers should all be restricted by CC and power.

Give em all a 1.1 fiesta for the first year.
