As long as you are all ok, that's the main thing.....
Shame about the car though, what a bummer?

That is extraordinary bad luck Glen.
Remember if it is written off, dependent on what category it is you could still buy and get it fixed yourself if its worth it.

Bloody hell mate !

Blimey Glen thats serious! Glad your ok, and glad it was the company car not your D you were driving (if you still had it)
Those mondeos can be bought so cheap now its probably not worth mending it. If it goes for scrap can I nick the remote key fob as the one for mine is playing up :wink:
Re: flying renault clio - Glen & Sam - 16 Dec 2008

Re: flying renault clio - Birksie - 16 Dec 2008

Re: flying renault clio - Guinney1971 - 17 Dec 2008
sh1t Glen, well as long as you and the other driver are ok, thats the main thing.
I take it Plod will be taking the lorry driver to task over this?
I reckon your Mondy will be a write off - one of the car supermarkets is selling 08 plate Vectras for less then £6000, so with the mileage on your car, it wont be worth fixing.
Seeya Sunday,
(and no we havent seen RichH!! lol )

Look at it this way, metal is easier to fix and replace than flesh and bones.
Glad you are OK.
A car you can replace, a life you can't.

Re: flying Renault Clio - zippy - 17 Dec 2008
Its your lucky day i would have parts in stock to fix both cars but not in the same colour .
Re: flying renault clio - Glen & Sam - 18 Dec 2008

Re: flying renault clio - Chris Williams - 18 Dec 2008
Sorry to here that Glen, I know it's no help but your not the only one at the moment. I have a swollen face where a builders Transit van decided to plough into the side of my parked bright yellow vehicle
As everyone has mentioned your OK and thats the main thing, the more vehicles that get wrote off the more it might sell some new ones and kick start the economy!Chris
