I bet the torque is quite scary for a 200 owner ?

It genuinely goes alright. Good on fuel too which is a bonus

Can’t complain about the courtesy car I’ve been given. It’s brand new. Only got 100 odd miles on it and it drives nice.

It’s gay. Have a word with yourself.

Some spacers and a cup spoiler then you're onto a winner

Evening Dave! Gutted to see the car in that condition!

All is not lost! Do me a favour. DM me your email address please. Reg, mileage and what insurance company is dealing with it please.

Hopefully I can help!

lol I ain’t saying I’d buy one. But as a loan car to drive backwards and forwards to work it’s really not that bad. And it’s free.

What spec is the Mini? I had a Cooper has a hire car a few months ago and it was alright to be honest. Not quick, but still good laugh. Seemed to have mountains of grip.

It’s a Cooper mate. Yeah it certainly grips well. The Cooper S must be a riot.

Cooper S goes well and JCW’s go very well. Pop and bang on lift off in sport mode. Lol!

Any progress with it @Sunglasses_Ron?

No mate. Still waiting to be contacted by the other parties insurance assessor.

Contact them yourself otherwise you'll be waiting ages, ring them every other day if you aren't hearing from them first.

Will that sucks.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Had a call from accident exchange earlier saying that the other parties insurance have accepted full liability.

Just got to wait for an assessor now and see what they say.

 

[Clio_fool]

Took their bloody time!

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Got a company coming to inspect the damage on Wednesday.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

The insurance assessor came today.

He said that the car is in very good condition and thinks it’s very possible that repairs will be authorised.

Just got to wait for him to do his report and the he said that I may have to get a couple of quotes to get it repaired.

Great news mate!

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Great news mate!

Fingers crossed.

I’m not too bothered if it gets written off because I just get it repaired anyway. But if they authorise repairs it means I can keep the mini until it’s back on the road. Where as if it’s a write off I’ll be without a car for weeks until it’s fixed.

 

[Ricardos]

Good news mate, at least it won't be catergorised?

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Won’t get a marker on it if they repair it so that will be a small bonus. Just want it sorted now.

 

[Clio_fool]

Sounds like it's heading towards a happy ending then. I hope it moves along a bit quicker now though mate. How long has it been now?

It’s been about 5 and half weeks ?

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Amazing how long it takes. Been almost a month since my Mondeo got hit. Mine was a definite write-off, so that was sorted pretty quickly, but I dread to think how long the liability business will take. Got a letter from her 'solicitor' claiming all sorts of nonsense, so I can see mine lasting ages.

Hope you get it all sorted quickly mate

Cheers bud. She's claiming trauma and my negligence and all sorts. Madness.

Hopefully yours will be back to its best soon.

Any updates

It’s not looking great. Hope to know more early part of next week. Got a plan if it gets written off.

That’s not good mate - stick a turbo in it [emoji106]

??He hasn't even got the balls to put a spoiler on it.

What's changed Ronald? I thought it was looking promising?

The quote for repairs I got back from an estimate I arranged. Huge amount of work.

? So it's looking like a write off then? Will it still be viable to buy back and repair yourself?

Don’t know yet mate. Need to wait until I hear from the insurance company.

 

[Gally]

Why has it taken so long Dave? That's crazy!

Also weird that you got an estimate after the assessor looked at it.

Idea is the estimate let's the assessor compare costs with the value of the vehicle. I written off cars within 24 hours of accident for years now! Weird.

Initially took ages because the insurance company were apparently carrying out indemnity checks.

I got the estimate because that’s what accident exchange told me to do mate.

I’m fully expecting it to be declared a total loss tomorrow. Just want it sorted either way now tbh.

Al the drug dealers in E14 got smart, and moved into car insurance.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Car is a write off as expected.

The offer they’ve made is pretty derisory so I’m waiting to see if they are willing to increase it. I’ve sent screen shots of quite a few of similar or lower spec cars being sold privately for quite a bit more than they’ve offered so we will see what happens.

Looks like I’ve found a replacement car and if all goes to plan I’ll be picking it up on Friday.

 

[FatRS]

Shame to hear that. Now the insurance wrangling occurs.
What car and colour is the replacement? Bet it’s one I’ve been looking at lol.
Fancy a Meg 250?

It’s another Clio. I won’t go into details as I don’t want to jinx it.

I did consider a Meg but a 250 is the only one I’d consider and they’re just out of my price range.

 

[FatRS]

100% got to buy it back from salvage. RECAROS alone will be worth it. Ask insurers the value as soon as possible so they don’t dispose it in the meantime.
