Well as some of you know my Nova got wrote off last thursday after building my c20let and i did 4 miles before some bird pulled out on me and KO'D it!
So this left me with no Nova and me and the MRS in serious whiplash pain bruising etc etc. So we both made a claim for the personal injury and went to the doctors etc. Then tuesday morning i had a letter from the girls insurance telling me she HAD admitted liability and i was buzzing as i thought this would go on for ages! So i rang them up and they offered me a PI claim over the phone of £1500 + £250 work lost so in total £1750! and they offered the Mrs the same apart from were off to a wedding on sunday thats she bought a dress for and now cant use it so she has had £1800! Both cheques arrived this morning and are being banked.
As for the car it was insured as a LET mot'd and taxed but as the tax didnt run out till tommorow and the car wasnt on the road (no excuse i know) it was only booked as a 1.0 so the insurance would only pay for a 1.0 total value of £305! and they classed it as a class A so it had to be destoyed.
So i decided not to claim for the car and keep the engine and weigh it in, So today i received a phone call from Napalm at about 4pm saying he wanted the engine so we agreed a price and he came up helpd me get it out and was on his way home before 8pm!! People on here slag him off but ive not met such a nice honest chap in ages really proves you cant judge a book by its cover!
So know i have money and need a new nova so im off upto bonny scotland next weekend on a aeroplane (as its cheaper than driving and takes 3 hours less to collect L1uxxx's 2.5 v6!!
So im happy but still gutted for my nova! Thanks for all the support though!! :thumb::thumb::thumb:
