My car got hit last wednesday, Basically i was tapped up the ass whilst driving (i was doing 30 in a 30 limit ), so got out and said oi, whats this all about, but didnt shut the door properly, and he drove off, catching my door and doing this in the process: On a positive note, i got his details, and a witness', so it could be worse.... Now is the race to get her fixed up for lemans. In the meanwhile I'm driving my olds' astra convertible, really makes me miss my golf!! in the cab there's no engine noise, no steering feel, the brakes are way too responsive!

Argh! Bad luck mate. What is it with all the RR Golfs getting pranged recently?! Has it done any damage to the A pillar or is it just the crease in the door? Hope you nail the tw@t that drove into you

They're stripping it now, and have told me there is more damage to the a-pillar than they expected. Leaving the other fella in the hands of the police, althou it woulda been a lot more satisfying if i gave him a noogie/wedgie/chinese burn/nipple cripple combo.
Just praying she doesnt get written off....

Harsh man, i swear that all this hot weather is turning peoples brains to mush. I really really hope the police get off their fat asses and srot this one out, people like that need to be taken off the road. How on earth do they get their licences?

I won't be there when you cross the road, so always use the Green Cross Code.

When I was in a similar position I was politely informed that the police were rather too busy with real crime to investigate. Obvioulsy the reason for the runner was no insurance, which means just like you the runner was committing several crimes, driving without insurance, failure to stop at the scene of an accident and (probably) no car tax too, but sadly the follow up will indeed mean them getting of their arses.

No, apparently he is insured (according to my insurance people)! I'm not expecting to hear much from it tbh, but I'm hoping that they will prove me wrong! I have noticed since i've had the golf that i get a lot more people tailgaiting me/cutting me up and stuff, really annoys me.....guess its cos I'm young and got better car taste than them ;D

Well at least he was insured - you have that to work on anyway. Just beware that they don't give you the run-around like they're doing to fellow RR'er Prophet

Hoping they don't mess me about any more than they have done! I've been made aware of all the laws and everything involved in this incident, which is pretty handy, we're basically trying to throw the book at this fella, so he gets what he deserves. In a way I'm glad it was me, and not my mum/sister (as it was in my village) and he managed to get the rusty door (gotta look at the bright side). The garage have started work on it, so I'm guessing there has been some correspondance between the insurance companies.

Just beware that they don't give you the run-around like they're doing to fellow RR'er Prophet and myself. mine is still going on. happened march 05!!!!!! i could be wrong but, isnt it an offence to leave the scene of an accident like that? kinda like hit and run, but vehicular. bad luck, hope your motor gets sorted ok.

That sucks mate. Hope that barstard pays for it
This weather seems to be bringing the morons out. I overtook a van today on the A12 so he decided to sit right on my bumper at 80 mph. I'm pretty sure he nudged me a couple of times, f**king stupid thing to do at and speed, let alone 80. And all he because he couldn't handle being overtaken by a mini 1000

Yeah hit and run and leaving the scene of a crime, and dangerous driving and criminal damage hopefully, cos no matter what his cirumstances are its just plain wrong, and if he can get himself in such a paddy he shouldnt really be driving! My car is in the bodyshop, managed to source a v expensive, but immaculate door which there putting on now, just need some trim bits to have her finished when i get her back! will keep you all posted...
