Default UPDATE!!!

After a week of chasing I have finally spoken to the police officer dealing with the incident of a women hitting my car and driving off. The report of events that the women has given to the police says that she was unaware of hitting anything but she did see a few people looking at her car as she drove off and that was the reason she stopped, got out and had a look the back of her car before driving off!!

As far as the police are concerned they can not see any crime that has been committed and will not be taking any further action!! He did confirm to me the women’s insurance details and said it will be up to the insurance companies to deal with it from now on!!

Default Another update!!

After loads of phone calls to my insurance company I was told today that she has admitted liability at last so I can now get the car repaired!!

Now it’s just trying to get hold of the dealer to book the car in!!

Default Wheel update!!

I have had a call from the garage that will be repairing my car when it goes in on Saturday and the insurance company have agreed to pay for a new wheel

BUT......... Only a gold one!! As the wheels only come in gold, they will only replace it in gold!! He said to me I can pay them to do it black for me but I said no as they can only paint it not powder coat it!!

I am happy still as I am getting the new wheel
