i stopped at a roundabout today and a van hit the back of my car. my 13000 mile car!.
luckily hes admitted responsibilty and i should be able to get it fixed.
the rear valence is bent, the bumper is bent, the panel where the boot hinges mount is bent so the boot doesnt sit flush or shut properly, the boot lid has hit the fuel tank and moved it (luckily not much and there no leaks) and the boot floor has a nice crease in it
the subframe appears ok and the car still drives straight.
pics will follow

Thats too bad. I had a half wit hit the back of my mini but luckily I had a tow bar so no damage was done. Something to think about. Slow impacts with a tow bar result in no damage. Well did on mine.

Oh no! Thats bad luck, hope you get it sorted ok.
And more importantly, you're ok?

i'm ok but me back is aching like a bitch. i would go to hospital but i have essay due in on monday and i need to get it finished, if i go to hospital i'll be there for hours

It might be worth it, Alex hurt his neck in an accident, and it's still gets him sometimes now. What's your essay for, uni or college?

uni, so i wont be able to get any leeway

there will if you've been to hospital and have proof!

Heartbreaking. Hope you get it all sorted mate.

oh ass! mine was bent up the ass when i got it, theres some pics on my link

so fear not it can be repaired! it may even pull out pretty straight

id get your neck checked out though and remember-where theres a blame theres a claim!!

yeah, i am now disabled, i have to wear a neck brace all the time and ride around on a mobility scooter.
no win no fee

That's the attitude!
