ANThighline 0 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 I am well and truly pissed off! Those of you who were at vwnwest will have noticed how i managed to get my purple highline in top class condition( several coats of wax, clean and immaculate interior and even had my wheels fully refurbed day b4 the show). You may know whats coming now, yes some little boy racer dikhe*d in a jreg clio decided to not even look, pull out, smash into, and then DRIVE OFF leaving me with a badly damaged nearside vr!Nice one i thought when i found the reg plate on the floor, until the cops told me the vehicle was unregistered ~Now thanks to some little pr1ck, i am left with the repair costs!Apart from scouring the streets armed heavily, any one got any advice o n what i can do!Im just so pissed off with it! !ill Link to post Share on other sites
DundeeDub 0 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 scour the streets mate, or see if any cctv cameras have picked up the car during, before or after the incident, you may be able to get a face out of it.ps sorry to hear about your misfortune Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 wasn't it still driveable? could have chased him, think he'd be easy to catch with a vr. Link to post Share on other sites
andy 0 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 Go back to the same area it happened (if it's local), similar time of day etc, watch and wait, put a few wanted ads up for 'Crashed repairables' ie specialising in Clios etc! Try and catch the little f**cker and teach him some manners! I've never known the police to be of any help in a situation like this. Link to post Share on other sites
fatboy-slim 0 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 I have not seen your car m8 but i feel for you and i would look for him and give him a right good slap ~ Link to post Share on other sites
ANThighline 0 Posted September 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 ACF mate, it was driveable but the collision had sent me facing the kerb and blocked in by another car who didnt see the incident!!! The street from which he pulled out from was a smallish dead end street, so ive already come to the conclusion that he must have been up there for a reason! Been back up there but no luck as of yet! Mate of mine drives a recovery truck so if i do see the car, we will be taking it( not rgistered so whos he to argue) Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Rob 0 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 you could try to get police to contact the last registered keeper for any detailes of who it was sold to. But that would mean them doing some work. or give you the detailes so you can was a nice clean highline Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Steve 0 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 Nightmare situation. Keep pestering the Police as they are keen to prosecute drivers, but very slow to help when its needed.Good luck. :-( Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 ANThighline : get in contact with the MIB, basically it's a fund that you can claim out of for if ur involved in an accident with uninsured drivers, they wont pay for the damage, but u can play on injury and other bits, I claimed off a muppet who smacked in my old car and did one (he had no insurence) got just under 2 grand...
