Yep. The blue one is nice but to be fair you have made them all your coupes nice! I think you machine polished mine once when it was at Joes years ago. Yeah probably, I polished loads at Joes. I think I dod a few panels on yours just before you came to pick her up on one occasion. Sorry to hear - really bad luck. Hopefully can be saved. Sorry to hear this Phil, hope the insurance coughs up so you can save her! Cheers guys, we'll see what occurs

Keep physical possession of the car until you have agreed a deal with the insurers.
Unless you have salvage rights agreed as part of your policy you may find the insurers reluctant to allow you to get access to your own car if they, or a repairer, have custody of it.
Parts can also mysteriously go missing at the same time.

We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

I do hope you will be able to save it. What goes around comes around When mine was rear ended it was put on Cat D. I had no intention of letting them have the car, they let me keep at no charge. Turns out they charge £120 to take the car away. Also got £1200 for the car being written off. Did a load of mechanical work and bought a plus interior with the money. Needs a boot lid, rear bumper and in dire need of a respray. Anyway it's tucked away in my garage for now, comes out to blow the cobwebs away from time to time. Well done Richard. Sounds like you came off for the better there!

Yeah, I lived there for about 9 years. Was a lecturer at Mysercough College for 5, lived in Bilsborrow and then Thornton Cleveleys. We have recently moved back to Thornton Cleveleys I like it up there! Originally from Londinium

The Mrs and me moved up there for work when we first got "proper" jobs. She worked in Burnley, then Blackburn. I eventually got a job in Preston for the Environment Agency working in pollution control on the rivers. Loved it. My patch was the River Wyre and Lune. So from Blackpool all the way up to Tebay on the M6 and into the Yorkshire Dales national park !
Thornton Cleveleys was in my patch, and I used to visit the old Hillhouse ICI plant and the big landfill site.
Good times. Back in Wales now. Good times, but different.
I must say, I've always liked the people in Lancashire. They're a friendly bunch.

So, to conclude this matter...
Offered £900 or £450 if we keep the car. (James had 300 excess). He had a discussion with them about this offer after I sent him a message telling him what to say; but they would no budge - apart from saying £500 if we keep the car.
Interestingly, in his insurance, it is written that the insurer must keep the car.
James (being the young man his is) has now decided that he wants to start a little business and wants to put the £900.00 into that. He has other transport. And he wants to sell his rare racing FZR motorbike also.
I am not prepared to lose out as I would saving the car,it's more effective to look in the sale threads and wait for a decent 20V to appear. So the £900.00 will be taken, James will take the 20VT wheels off the car and put back the 15" 20V wheels and I will have the 20VT wheels.
Another one, bites the dust.
Not what I had hoped, but this is how it is.
