Some guy hit the VR and drove away!


Recommended Posts

Someone decided they could fit between a gap between me and a bus in Acton. He was wrong, he couldn't. He got wedged in between us and then accellerated away at high speed soon afterwards tearing down the road in his crappy Honda with some of my paint.

The damage isn't too bad, I thought it was much worse from the drivers seat. I got his plate number and filled out a form at the local station. Hopefully they'll catch him! MoFo!

I was blocking a junction and some rather unhelpful people decided to highlight this by tooting their horns! After a couple of toots I "politely" asked the backed up row of 15 cars to please be quiet and that their patientce would be much appreciated. One individual tooted a couple more times but promptly stopped when, full of rage, I started walking towards his car.

Police said nothing will get done for at least 4 weeks %-6 so until then I've got a damaged VR !sad Could have been alot worse though, I think I got off quite lightly. The Bus was smashed.

Worse bit was I was about 400 yards from where I was gonna get out the car!

Looks like he only got your bumper and didn't touch the panelwork. Could have been worse I guess.

Is your insurance fully com?

Yeah he missed all the panels. Yeah I'm fully comp, but I'm only 22 so its probably cheaper in the long run to swallow it myself, can't afford to make the claim.

I got one from VW incase the police need it for whatever reason and they want

fourmotion - nah not a dicky bird! I went out with someone that was a community support officer who had access to the police systems a couple of times but never called her again. Maybe I should put in a call and sort things out myself!

peter - yeah I reckon most of it would rub out. it'd just leave a few grazes. If i have to pay for it I'll get a couple of other bits done too. bumper, grill, and bonnet respray and a graze on one of the rear arches that was there when i got it.

Trouble is don't have the money :( Going away for a 6 month trip and then starting my own business when I get back. Might have to sell some body parts on ebay....
