steble 1 Posted April 16, 2010 and guess what he's not insured, so i'm not likely to get a pay out which is why i've had to put the 205 up for sale again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RossD 43 Posted April 16, 2010 Motor Insurance Bureau - Don't they have a fund you can claim from after being hit by an uninsured driver? Words fail me regarding these idiots who drive with no insurance. hope it works out ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrG 3 Posted April 16, 2010 did you get his details, tell him he pays or you take it to a civils court for action, small claims etc. He may not pay out or give you the cash immediatley but it will give him a major headache so he'll want it discharged ASAP. Not a nice repair but a good bodyshop will sort it easily, I had the same incident and the repair was not too difficult. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steble 1 Posted April 16, 2010 you'll like this bit, oh yes it gets better he drove off quite quickley unfortunately for him it is a supercharged mini so after a quick j turn i caught him within 30 seconds and after flashing, beeping and swearing he realised he weren't getting away. luckily for me he didn't know i was low on petrol i got his details and yes police are involved, hopefully i can get the money out of him. he was quite an old bloke who hopefully won't want the aggro so will pay up easily enough, but i'm getting prepeared for the worst hence the 205 is up for sale. i like the 205 but i'm afraid the mini takes prioity. if i can i will keep the 205 but needs must because it is a mini that area of the car isn't an easy repair, it needs: a rear quater panel the rear panel fixed or replaced inner arch radius arm wheel new mudflap new chrome arch (which as far as i know only comes in sets of 4) if he's paying thats a shame aint it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24seven 104 Posted April 16, 2010 Police won't take too kindly to him drivig off quickly, I hope you told them that! Good luck with the repairs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swordfish210 20 Posted April 16, 2010 That sucks. Well done for not letting the assmuncher get away and i hope you get it sorted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrG 3 Posted April 16, 2010 radius arm damage. oh dear, ours (which was a 91 cooper S on 10's) was hit in the rear qtr, damaging the seam and the body shop who repaired it said it was a fairly easy repair, definatley no new panel required at the time. Hardest part was removing the RH tank! Good luck with it, I reckon he'll pay no prblems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notamondayfan 44 Posted April 16, 2010 what a cock! I cant believe he tried to drive off!! Fleeing the scene of a road accident is illegal too. Hope you get enough cash to fix it without selling the pug! Deano Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muddatrucker 125 Posted April 16, 2010 Fair play to you for not beating the crap out of him. Especially driving off after knowing you know, the cheek of it. I'd of beat the panel out with his head! Hopefully he'll pay, what's an old geezer doing with no insurance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully he'll pay, what's an old geezer doing with no insurance? I hope the stupid old c*** is reading this, see if he realises how much of a plank he is. If I had my way all uninsured drivers would be strung up and shot, especially older ones they should know better. Top marks for chasing him aswell mate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
