Heading off to the garden centre with the young fella today. Trying to merge onto the nearby dual carriageway (which has roadworks and requires traffic to stop), I stopped and the car behind me didn't!
 One of my recently refurbed rims visible also!  I opened the boot after I took the pics. It won't close - duck tape holding it down currently. I feel gutted. I just want to cry!  |

My neck is actually sore but it was a bit sore before then as it usually is when I don't sleep right. I'm not sure if it is more sore now or not.

Bad luck, KB. On the bright side, at least they didn't damage the splitter! What hit you? And when are you going to get silver indicator bulbs? |

They are silver bulbs - the hazards were on.
It was a 96 Pug 306. I ended having to push it off the road afterwards as it wouldn't start. |

Blimey K, that's bad luck - hope the pug driver was insured.
Had similar happen to me a while ago - some little chav in his mums shopping trolley - foot down - brake hard - foot down - brake hard - showing off to his mates in the car.. didn't brake hard enough. Luckily no damage. When I read the topic title I thought Simon had paid you a visit  Seriously though I hope you get it sorted and you are all OK. |

Sorry to see this K Perhaps a landrover discovery or even one of the old personnel carriers are a safer vehicle down your way these days. Tears rolling down my face at Rhys comments

KB, really sorry to hear about this. Your car has always been kept so well, it must have been a bit gut wrenching to see it like that. Things could have been worse though so I guess that should be some grounds for thanks in the circumstances. |

Buckin fastard for hittin you, are you sure your neck isn't sore, perhaps a bit of extra money could be used to build you rear nudge bars! Hope the other guys car is written off (it's french so it probably is!) and hope yours is sorted soon. I pulled up in a car park at work today and cracked my front bumper and foglight on a high kerb that jumped out at me, suffice to say it wasn't insured but my neck is ok. Just another blemish on my car Mike |

LOL. My neck is still sore and I have been taking panadol but I don't want to be one of those who claim for whiplash for the sake of it!
Still I was chatting to the poor lad for a while and I get the impression that his missus left him recently. Still, not my fault! |

Incidentally, the impact must have been fairly heavy. I'm just back from the garda (police) station to record it and discussing it with the chap behind the desk my car moved a good 10 yards because of it.
The boot floor mat is about 1" too short for the boot now. The bootlid, bumper and back chassis are all damaged! Lets hope the missus puts out tonight to make me feel better! |

Killian,
Sorry to hear about this, but do not feel guilty about claiming for whiplash. I stopped at a traffic light over 10 years ago, the bloke behind didnt. Wrote off the cavalier I had at the time, the driver seat collapsed backwards. I went to hospital to get the once over and went home. It didn't feel too bad but the insurer got me about 2500 for whiplash. Months later I started getting headaches and more neck pain and have hadregular chiropractic on my neck since as one of the discs was compressed. Believe me 2500 was cheap compared to the cost of aftercare so far. Overall I hope you are ok. Cars can be fixed. Kevin |

Thats crap Killian. I know the junction where it happened. Bloody
roadworks. I'd advise you to get a checkup again on your neck and also get junior checked as well. That would have been a fairly bad shunt to do that damage. My dad has suffered with back and neck pain for 13 years now after a similar but slightly worse accident. Hope you get a good amount for the damage. |

Gutted for you. Go get your neck checked out K you dont want to take the chance. Hope the wee fella is ok as well. Im supprised that it hasn't happened to me as the fut witts travel so close that if you have to brake hard you will be driving there car at the end. Is that the skid mark at the back of your car.

Hey K, Sorry to hear your bad news, sounds like an expensive repair, if the floor pan is bent / buckled it'll probably need to go on a JIG (not the dance) to straighten it. Lets hope thats not the case and you get it sorted soon. Get you and your son checked, and I don't mean for financial reward, better safe than sorry eh ?? |
