WigsVR6 0 Posted March 22, 2011 Hi guys, Well my pride and joy was written off earlier this month. I,ve been too gutted, until now to post. The car was trashed on a round a bout when some pr1ck decided he wanted to turn right whilst he was in the left hand lane, on a dual carrageway, and ended up driving into the nearside of my car forcing it into a mobile phone mast head on. More importantly my partner was driving and she sustained broken ribs and heavy bruising while the passenger had a suspected dislocated shoulder. The car is a write off and estimated repairs come to 12 000. Mechanically she was in very good shape as I've spent thousands on the engine, running gear and suspension in the time that i've owned her. Ironically I'd asked my partner if she could go to a body shop in St Helens and get quotes for me on some minor rust removal and a respray on the front bumper whilst she was doing some buisiness in the area. I was planning on spending some money this year on bringing the bodywork up to a better standard. I dont know what to do with myself at the moment I feel lost without it. Here are some pics of her in all her glory from better times Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 22, 2011 What a shame, looked like a really nice example too. I hope the twunt who caused your loss and injury to your partner got what he deserved? Have you considered getting another Corrado? There's no getting over the last one like getting a new one, as they say. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diesel Junior 0 Posted March 22, 2011 Best of luck mate and best wishes to your partner and her pal who were injured. Sounds like they will recover OK but so will you too. When i had a numpty ram me in Benidorm last year it gutted me so i understand your disappointment but chin up, accept no cr@p from the insurance people and then hit the classifieds section and get yourself AN EVEN BETTER ONE AND THEN COME ON THIS FORUM AND TELL US ALL ABOUT IT!! Tomorrow will be a better day, as said, chin up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Forinor 0 Posted March 23, 2011 Sorry for your loss mate, I know how hard it would be for me if I was in your position. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WigsVR6 0 Posted March 23, 2011 Thanks guys reading your comments as lifted my mood. There was an indipendant witness who saw the accident so if her statement matches my partners then the police say they will prosicute him. My partner as been in agony with her ribs since the accident but she's improving. As for getting another one well I'm looking casually at the moment until I get the payment. I'd love another they really are a fantastic car in so many ways! Alan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
