Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral R.I.P. the audi..is it the end?

Well folks..it happened yesterday...some idiot jumped a red light and t-boned my audi..with me in it! (not the best thing to do a traffic cop!)
Needless to say he stopped..and is insured etc..except ive just got it back from have the ding in the door fixed.
it looks like now it will be written off..all the airbags inside went off..and the entire offside is fkd!
Just mad as it was finally sorted!
I got strapped down and carted off to A n E in an ambo..a very humilating experience to say the least..nothing broken. Except my car!!!
Does anyone know a half decent solicitor for my claim??

Ouch man, doesnt sound good whatsoever.

Good to hear your ok though mate

Was he young or old??

late 30's..it was the junction of prenton hall rd/woodchurch rd..he "misread" the filter left green sign as ok to go straight on to Holmlands drive..idiot!

Gutted for you!! Don't think just because you feel alright now that you will still feel the same in a few days. Physical damage doesn't always appear immediately

As for your claim - see PM

sorry to hear this mate

as long as you are ok


do they realise you are a traffic officer ?
i would love to see thier face when/if you tell them

Perhaps it was revenge bud, did the guy look familiar, perhaps some one you busted not so long ago

Gutted

At least yoyur ok matey.

Pity, as its just as you got the car to somewhere you where happy with it again.

If a good deal of the airbags have gone off, chances are its gonna be a write off - time for a new 'un like the courtesy car you had a month or so ago

Sorry to hear that mate, at least your ok, THATS all that matters im afraid! Car i can sympathyse with but can be replaced/repaired, YOU, thats a different matter!!
I know Pagan has PM`d you, but a good solicitors ive always used (since my first bout with the law at 16!!) is Roberts moore Nicholas Jones, Hamilton Square. JERRY PASCHER is the man to see, John Weate is a good friend of mine if you want to drop names!!
Keep smiling and you can buy me a pint with your clam money!!Ha Ha.

lol..thanks everyone..feeling v sore n stiff right about now..
I didnt recognise him..and his face was priceless when i actually told him i was a traffic cop...the colour just seemed to drain out of it for some strange reason.

the problem is if they write off the car they will give me book price which is about 6500....not enought to actually replace what ive got there....hence why i would almost rather they fixed it!
If they do write if off...im gona have to find something similar..and pay several k extra to get something half decent...GRR!!

oh and i looked at new one...like i had last month..audi are falling over themselves to sell me one...except i havent got 600 quid per month for one like that!!!
