# Car has been written off. Arse.
smellygit said It didn't look too bad in the picture - what was wrong with it?
[added 3rd Aug 2005] This and this and this and this and this, plus sundry other dents, bashes and scratches. Three and half thousand against a book value of 2,300. [added 3rd Aug 2005]
JohnH [e] said Just found out about the storm (perils of being an expat). Glad to hear you, Nat and the kids are OK.

No such luck. We get the Glass's Guide value, which is going to be somewhat shy of the cost of replacing it. We also lose our no-claims bonus because it was, in their terms anyway, a fault claim. I said arse and I meant it :) [added 4th Aug 2005]
smellygit said Bet you could get a good bike for that
[added 4th Aug 2005] I have on already :) I think we've pretty much decided to take the money, sit on it and see if we really need to get another car or not. Hopefully we won't. [added 4th Aug 2005]
