Fish Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I don’t think they’ve added blast the cobwebs away for your mental well-being to the list of essential activities, you might want to add in-meet up with one other person outside, orpicking up essential goods, ortravelling to exercise to your sentence Ride done and a lot more relaxed than yesturday. I did notice a number of non-essential shops open and doing business, also so many people out and about makes this lockdown more of a joke sadly.

Ian Frog Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 So following the disappointment of having my car damaged I took it to a bodyshop to find out roughly what we are looking at in money and time.Car damage 4.jpgThat little lot comes to well over a grand plus a car is going to be needed for at least a week !!!!! All presuming there is no hidden damage which I am unsure of.So feeling depressed we decided to visit the graffiti wall that @Mawsley has posted in the past.Graffiti wall 1.jpgGraffiti wall 2.jpgLovely afternoon trundle and feel a bit less stressed now.Got home and the insurance company for the other party is doing the lot and hiring an equivalent car which could be a Merc, Beemer or Range Rover.I am looking forward to this lol.CheersIan Over a Grand £300 at the most... thats insurance companies for you. No I am afraid thats a local body shop quote and takes in to account that the new rear light is £198 and thats from Germ and Swede rather than Merc.Still not my prob and if there is damage to the air suspension I suspect it will be a write off. However I reserve the right to rag the t*ts off any hire car they give me.CheersIan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
