**** end to a Shitty week....

[Langy]

After a crap week at work, too many hours, not enough sleep and a few family related issues, i drove back to work after thirteen hours on the road to find that some dickhead of a truck driver had reversed his truck into my Siggy,

he's totally destroyed the front spoiler/ bumper, trashed the front grille, and possibly snapped a headlight mounting off,...not to mention he's left a bit of his truck behind for me to cherish..


Apparently after he'd done it and was confronted by one of the guys at work, he said ''well ! i can't really see down that side of my truck when i'm reversing..''
to which the fella at work replied, ''so, if you can't see down there then why the 'fu&k where you reversing before waiting for one of us to watch you back ?'',

''well i'm running late mate'',

i've got to give 'Sean..(the fella at work) his dues though.. 'apparently he then told the truck driver that '' you want to be thankful 'Chris' isn't here mate, as he'd have knocked you clean out for damaging his car....

so it looks like my Siggy is off to Vauxhall for some repairs...

#pissed off at this isn't even close to how i feel right now..



i'll post a couple of pics in the morning...

That really is a shitty way to end a bad week.
Sorry to hear the cars been damaged and I hope the Lordy driver or his insurance is paying for it?

I'd have killed the *******

Band news pal, but on the plus side at least it wasnt a hit and run, should hopefully end up with a nice new looking front end too

**** end to a Shitty week....

Thanks for the replies folks,

Gotta see what is gonna happen with this on Monday,
(Good news I suppose is that one of the supervisors at work has said, “don’t worry mate, it’ll get repaired by the company if need be”

The bad thing is, ‘
this happening has made me feel like I’ve lost a bit of love for the car..’

To me, it’ll never be the same car I bought...

Is that weird ?

At least it will get sorted one way or another. When it is looking good again, you might like it even more. It is the way it looks now that is putting you off a little.

I know what you mean but it could have been a lot worse insurance will make it well again [emoji846]

At least no more stone chips bud

[Red Stoat]

I know how you feel mate, a woman reversed into me recently (in spite of me sounding my horn). The badge pinged off, a small scratch to the grille, and there was a slight scuff to the bumper. I felt gutted, BUT, I got the best respray I have ever had, they did the entire bumper, both wings, plus the bonnet! I have ZERO stone chips now, plus there was other marks on the bonnet and the wings, which all look brand new. I have a lovely shiny grill and badge, and they power polished the whole car too. I am well chuffed now it's over, but I do know what it feels like at the time. I never thought I would actually gain from it, but I did this time?

That's a bummer!..And what a total sh!t of a bloke that lorry driver is. The fker shouldn't be driving vehicles of that size if he'd rather guess than make safe maneuvers.

On the up side it looks like your work colleagues had your back. I bet the c't would have driven off if it were not for them. Its slow impact bumper damage so hopefully hasn't entered the engine bay or bent anything structural. I know how you feel re falling out of love with the car (had my front bumper damaged twice on my last insignia while it was parked) but bumper, grill etc are just bolted on bits of plastic so once replaced, car will look and feel as good as new so just look forward to a week or so when you're admiring the lovely paint finish on your new front end.

Hope it gets repaired quick,be as good as new

[Graeme1975]

I would have been sacked for pulling him out his cab and showing him the damage and using his face to impose another few bonnet dents if I had been there when he did that to my car. What a **** 'I am running late' and a swift boot in the balls for that comment. What a dick. As said will be like new when sorted hopefully you will find the love again for it.

I had a similar thing happen a couple of years ago. No issues, fully repaired and back on the road in a couple of weeks. Fast forward to insurance renewal time and the ba****ds wanted to load my premium by £130 'because I had been in an accident' My car was parked and locked like yours so I was 100% innocent. The insurance company wouldn't listen so I changed insurance companies and got my cover cheaper elsewhere. So be ready for the bad news!!
