And we'll leave your comments to the humourless dullards.... to clarify, 4 'comics' read magazines.........jesus.

indeed..........we're all vdub/karmann fans on here i hope- leave the anti-rocco comments to the ill-informed 'comics'.

Hi Roger, hoping you can help? Do you have copy/contact re the article to do with status quo ante, the insurance article/letter u refer to here? I am hoping to use this in my discussion re recent RTA. If you are able to contact me with info my mobile = 07973 571515. Kind Regards Sean Fleetwood

Hi there, have recently been the victim of a wayward 40 tonner on the M1 that has in all likelihood written off my Autotech/BRM 152 spec Scirocco GTX. the Scirocco club boys sent this story from your website as a link.........any further data/info re this story would be gratefully recieved. If i lose the 'beast' i will be in the market for a clean Corrado VR6 i think. ideally i would like to keep them both having owned the GTX for 15 years........... Regards Sean Fleetwood According to a report of a recent test case, it seems that, if your car is damaged by a third party in an accident and it is in danger of being written off by either party's insurer, against your wishes, you can sue the third party for the full cost of restoration to the pre-accident condition? This is irrespective of the cost of the repair or the market value of the car; you apparently have an absolute right to choose to have full restoration to the status quo ante (that is yer actual Latin for "what existed before") if you can prove liability. In other words, we don't have to accept high-handed treatment from insurers who are simply interested in closing their files with as little effort as possible. It is well worth getting legal assistance with your insurance - it costs next to nothing comparatively speaking. Then you can employ a solicitor to take this up for you if the circumstances unfortunately arise. I hope this will save a lot of us from losing our "pride and joy", in relatively minor accidents. I will try to get more details and will pass them on. Best wishes RB
