Hi all
I don`t know if you remember my crash 1 year and several months ago that wrote my lovely 480 TT off!
But just a quick update to refresh
Boyracer tried to overtake as i was turning into a junction on the right and wrote her off(nothing drastic)axel bent and driverside rear wheel arch naffed.
she was drivable(very)but the insurance wrote her off as (cat c)
now she resides in many 480`s around the globe and some that are not 480`s:)
Right back to the dirty bit!!
I pushed the insurance to go to court and i was given a date(mainly due to this scrote wanting £1700)
Turns out he likes to talk big but he didnt think he could act big!!
He backed out 2days before and gave no reason!!!
yippie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I win and i keep my 4yrs NC and clear my name!!!(which is what i only wanted to begin with as i didnt ask for any money at all!!
im now waiting for his insurance to cough up £300 for a fractured wrist i got during the crash(i didnt ask for it,it was assigned to me through the claim system)
i couldnt claim for damages for my two kids without taking some blame??:(whiplash etc etc,nothing serious.
Im just glad its over and i cleared my name.......
I hate boyracer tw*ts who think there are cool....
(tip)if the guy that hits you says"il say you wern`t indicating"prepare for the long haul!!!!but stick to your guns!!!!!!
now ive got a gorgeous saab900xs i swapped for my runabout 3.5 v8 disco.....
gonna sell the pug306 diesal ive got in the garage too.
god this saab is soooooo comfy to drive and being a 2l its cheaper than a v8:)lol
il still get a 480 one day,but for now its saab all the way:)

Hi
cheers mate:)
this scrote even came to visit me and tried to get me to drop the case and pay me what the insurance had paid me!!!
i said no lol
it amazes me a ford KA he bought for £500 THAT day could cost £1700!!!!!!
I kept intouch with the insurance soliciters almost every week and they even assigned a barristers to represent me in court:)
NU are good insurers but need some pushing to get the ball rolling(even though i was FC)
they will even get the cost of the curtesy car back:)lolololol
hopefully he thinks abit more whilst driving from now on(shame he didnt get to court but he knew he would risk his license in court!!!(2yr probation and all)and he had atleast 2 crashes before me and hit a child at 20mph after me!!!!
some people shouldnt drive FULL STOP!!!
this saab is the BALLS and with all the trimming as standard:)shes dark green!!!almost my favourite colour(black)and she has a spoiler:)yummy

Someone sounds in love with their new car!
Glad to hear everything's ok, and you didn't have to pay for some t!t's mistakes!
I'm sure you'll always be welcome on the forum be it in a Saab, or another 480 in the future!
