Mr Lucky......

NitroNI · 14-08-2007, 21:58

So, hello again. Erm.... where do I start? Well let me first of all direct you to this post, where I describe my brand new (49 miles on the clock) Fabia vRS Special Edition gettin wrtitten off:

http://www.briskoda.net/forums/fabia...edition/85656/

Then may I direct you to this thread, there my mate describes writing off his Octy, 2 weeks later:

http://www.briskoda.net/forums/octav...ten-off/86834/

Then may I show you pictures of my new Fabia vRS Special Edition the day after my mate writes off his Octy (someone drove into the back of me whilst sitting at a roundabout):

Anyone think I should stay off the road?
Ps: Its hilarious - What car does the Accident repair garage supply as a courtesy car??? Yes, you guessed right..... A Skoda Fabia.

***ncarring*** · 14-08-2007, 22:06

Er - when your first Fabia was written off, you mentioned it wasn't you that was driving. It wasn't .............. your mate, was it?

VRSpirit · 14-08-2007, 22:08

Phil_Peck · 14-08-2007, 22:09

Please tell me it's in Flamenco Red... I so need some spares from a write off...

NitroNI · 14-08-2007, 22:17

Nope. Its a crappy grey/silver colour. With big accident repair centre stickers on the doors.

Gyp · 14-08-2007, 22:24

I don't need doors...

***ncarring*** · 14-08-2007, 22:25

Accident repairs are going to the dogs - they just use stickers now

Have your mates had driving lessons ?

Have you for that matter ?

I think you must have pi**ed on someone 'up there' 's chips or something for the luck you're having

devonutopia · 14-08-2007, 22:30

I recommend restricting your mate to just driving one of these in future....

NitroNI · 14-08-2007, 22:31

I think its every else over here that need driving lessons. Or even just to learn to use indicators, that would be nice!

Wardy · 14-08-2007, 22:39

Your mate certainly made certain the first one was written off

But, by the look of the above pics, I think you need to try a bit harder with this one

Anyway, hope you get it all sorted

aerodynamic18 · 15-08-2007, 00:11

Bad luck with the accident, bet your friend feel bad too. Glad to see you were both ok though.
A friend of mine had a very similar accident as you but he was on a bike so did not get off so lightly unfortunately (though he is still alive). He was overtaking a tractor with trailor that turned right as he was overtaking. The lights on the trailer were also not working. He is now claiming off the tractor insurance for the bike damage and damage to himself. Due to the lights not working it was considered to be wholey the fault of tractor driver. Also as far as I am aware the police were looking to prosecute the tractor driver for undue care and attention and also for not having the correct lights working etc.
So there may be a glimmer of hope there for you.

sharkrider · 15-08-2007, 15:22

you seem to have some serious bad luck.... I just renewed my insurance, and realised I have 11 years no claims bonus!!

hope you're insurance don't hit you too hard with the renewal premiums....
