Andy,

I am so very sorry to hear about this - that is terrible news, but I assume no one was hurt? I hope not and I know it's probably not much consolation, but at the end of a day it is only a car.

I hope you get a good insurance settlement and can find something else to help take your mind off things - the black car at Paragon perhaps?

Again, I am really sorry.

Kind regards,

Tim.

That's really a sad news. I know how it feels to hurt your baby but have it totaled must be even worse...

On the other hand if you love the car and you have the money you can may be fight for her life "repair would be financially un-economic and, as such, she has been classed a ‘total loss’ " . Take the insurance money blow it all on repair and fund yourself what's needed on top of it. No clue how they do it in the UK but I know it's possible in some other european countries.

That is so sad. I looked at the photos and they didn't look that bad until I saw the left hand side and front up close.

I feel your pain and wish it weren't so. The good news is your OK to live on and hopefully buy another someday soon.

Best Luck and deepest condolences.

I'm sorry to hear about what occured. When terrible things like this occur I usually take a step back and look at the big picture - you have your health! Life is good, enjoy it while you're here. Again, I'm sorry to read about your car - it's never easy...

Sincerely,

Lance

You have to repair it. Even though I haven't seen the car in real life, it feels like I have lost a close family member too becuase I have seen the Tiff Needle video 17.000 times.
