    What a PIA.

    Fortunately, you have the skills...

    Are any of these any good as comparos?

    I'd state your price (reasonable!) & go legal on them.

    The cost of defending a CCJ might make them a bit more amenable to settle.

    Sorry to see and read about Sarah's trials and tribulations.

    It's bad enough to have your pride and joy damaged by a Vauxhall without the insurance companies playing silly beggars.

    Good luck with the repairs and the insurance co's....I get the distinct feeling that you are not going to be worn down to the point of giving up and good on you both for that.

    Hope the cube is soon restored to its pristine best.

    Ironically after 3 years of ignoring me, I finally received a letter late last week to say that the insurance company have appointed a solicitor to deal with my case. Then to really take the pee, I get a phone call from the solicitor today wanting to know why I haven't sent their form back yet asking me to duplicate all the information already given!!!!!

    It is a really sad state of affairs when one pays so much to insurance companies and they behave in such an unprofessional manner. I recently found out that we had been overpaying for a business policy that we did not need.

    I hope you get it to it's former glory soon.

    typical isn't it, drive all the way from Rochester to Burnley to get replacement panels in the wrong colour (900Km round trip) then purchase primer and paint to do the respray to match the colour, get the panels primed.......

    and this turns up breaking in Southend on Sea, about 40miles away, technically closer but the Thames is in the way!!!



    ........and it's the right colour!!!!!!


    typical!!!!!!

    Oh, that's Sod's Law...

    Could you buy it and stash it somewhere, in case of future misfortune?

    Or why not just buy and repair it as I'm sure it's not beyond you, then you will have matching cubes and a far more economical daily drive to boot. 👍

    if i had somewhere to hide it i would have found another already, one recently went for £950 just needing the brake calipers overhauling!!!

    ironically, when we took both cars cross country to Japfest at castle coombe, the nsx was the more economical on petrol, the cube is designed as a city car, and doesn't like motorways!

    Maybe you should leave the newspaper in the back window to warn people not to drive too close...
