: Oh F*****g No!!!!
steve@wests 01-09-2008, 11:23:17 sat at my desk in the showroom,heard a BANG outside.............SOME T**T in a ratty white transit has just tried to remove the rear bumper of my beloved clio.
some nasty marks on it,and it looks as if it caught the rear edge of the wheel arch.
took the drivers details(foreigner),all insurance docs stack up,so it should get sorted ok.what really p****s me off is that i really look after my company cars,so they are always top notch,and for this to happen winds me up to the same extent as it would if it was privately owned.
indeed,i am not a happy bunny at all.
sorry for the rant.:madfawk:
steve.
BEWARE WHITE VAN T***S!!!!!
MeganeChick 01-09-2008, 11:25:08 oh my god!!!! gutted for you :(
glad you managed to get the info you needed - hope it gets sorted soon!
richandgem 01-09-2008, 11:38:17 gutted for you, its horrible when someone hits your motor. At least he has left his details and that they are genuine. Hope you get it sorted quickly
Dooby 01-09-2008, 11:40:09 Nightmare! You poor thing i'd be absolutely hopping mad if someone did that to my car :cursing:
Here's hoping the insurance gets it sorted and your clio is back to pristine condition asap.
misterC 01-09-2008, 11:45:53 always the same Steve.....like me you look after your motors - guarantee that it will be some other twonk that fecks your car up.....I don't drive like a granny by any standards but I am 'careful' and don't drive beyond my capability.
Gutted for you mate :cursing: :cursing:

Steve, I just hope your clio wasn't black like Rich's.....17 pots of paint, 3 trips home in a loan car, phone calls to repair guys and paint manufacturers and quite a lot of stress later the colour is 97% matched...thank heavens he works in a Renault bodyshop is all I can say!!
Fingers crossed the Twingo arrives in time, be great to see one up close. :p

Dooby 03-09-2008, 11:42:38 Hey how cool is that!! :rockon:
Is it lovely? Does it look like a pocket rocket? What's the inside like? What colour did you go for?
Hopefully the little Twingomobile will put a smile back on your face after your clio being so viciously assaulted by the horrible van :yes:
steve@wests 03-09-2008, 12:44:01 pocket rocket-yes,interior-cool,colour-grey/blue metallic
