aaaaaahhhhhhhh no car !!!!!back on me old pedal machine!
bugger!
gutted to say the least!!!!
its time to move on a nice 1.4 16v corsa swinging my way in the next month or so!!

:roll: unlucky mate

kinda similar as to what hapand to my first car - it had just deformed the top mount though.

in doing so it twisted sommat cos the driver door never went back in the hole properley!!!


needless to say youll never do the same thing again.


try claim on the council - money towards a new beast then

u can only try

I agree ref compensation for council - especially if there were no signs advising of new road markings/changes.

They have to advise you of any major road changes - especially speed bumps - they should be clearly marked otherwise you wont see them till the last minute.

Bit of a bastard :( . Deffinately try the council, and get a nova not a corsa :D

[?Marty?]

Take a picture of the speedbumps and etc. So you can show that there are/were no signs warning of them.

Then sue the council for compensation. There's loads of rules regarding speedbumps - their location, angle, height and etc.

RE cool.martys post

MAKE SURE you get photos, as the first thing they will ask for is PROOF

[marruss]

to clear this all up.....there were signs saying "RAMP" but it looks like some little b*****d kicked em down

now if u saw a sign sayin ramp would u slow down? normally there is a small dip in road .....but nothin major??
all hopes of compensation went the next mornin! i got up to take fotos and they had all been properly covered but still not sign posted properly....so i could still have a case but im not bettin on it!!!

im on to the council already and we'll see what they say!!!

tar alex but i want something that doesnt feel like its going to fall apart and have to worry bout rust! a P plate 1.4 16v corsa sounds pretty new for me......and without rust and pretty fast
.
cheers for all suport
