Aye - you're right of course.

I doubt she's got any money though.
Not sure about that. She can dance on one leg and then the other and between the two can earn a good living biggrin

This is a fantastic example of why it costs youngsters an arm and a leg to insure a st box of a car because when you crash it, you might hit something that costs more to fill with fuel than your car is actually worth!

I live not far from here and saw the aftermath of the accident
I understand from a local Facebook car group the the young lady driver of the car exited the garage and went around the roundabout to go back past the garage up to kings hill.
The story (I believe from the driver of the pink car who's a member of the group and was defending herself) is that she hit the curb on the exit of the roundabout and rather than hitting the brake, missed and stomped on the accelerater and headed across the road, up another sizeable curb, and than smack bang into the side if the gent filling his Aston
She, again I believe only from what I've read, is a fairly new driver

The guy with the Aston was very ok about it, although a little upset
Personally, I'd be in tears and hoping she's declared the wheels and paint on her policy as her insurance is going to try every move possible to wriggle out of a £100k written off DBS and whatever the garage pump damage, loss of business etc is

Also, although you can't see it in the disguised pics, the DBS was a candidate for the 'rubbish number plates' thread as it had some shocking spacing and numbers to letters contraventions to make the word Ian

Aston driver will be paid out whether Corsa driver has declared everything or not. If she has not, the insurer reserves the right to come after her house for their money back.

Glad you a said that as I thought the car belonged to someone I know but their plate is just 1 plus their initials (correctly spaced).

Sorry, plate looks like it's trying to say 'lane', maybe ?
Rubbish pic (almost) showing plate stolen from t'internet



Anyway, good news is that apparently no one was hurt

I try to judge each person individually, but in the case of pink cars, you do tend to find they're driven by similar people wink

She pretty much typifies Swindonians, their ability to drive and the level of education around that area.

She probably heard the DBS owner saying he needed some corsas to fit to his car...
Maybe she was just trying to help...
(In her stupid chavvy "princess on board" pink nail polished POS...)


Is it right to assume a write-off means that the owner will only get a payout of current market value despite the possibility he's financing a new one? Meaning he won't actually be able to buy another same age/spec with payout money, but still owe original finance amount?

Possibly. Get a look at the Glasses guide value of your car......

Flippin heck, the lengths a chavvy tart will go to to get a guys number with a flash car nowadays!

I'm suprised the Aston is a write off though. What would you be looking at to repair it?..a door, sill, chassis alignment and a rear quarter panel and maybe a front wing..

No, I didn't. I "borrowed" those pics directly from Twitter and created my blog post Tuesday evening (March 12).

The Daily Mail, and the rest of the internet, only picked this up the other morning, on Wednesday.

OK - My point was to another poster who implied you had first hand info (not that the daily fail did either by the looks of it wink )

According to the Mail, the car is a "right off" and "The luxury vehicle has now been taken to the scrapyard." Yeah right, taken to a scrapyard laugh
