Well it won't T-Cut out if that's what you mean.....

Anyone know a good detailer? I have some 'minor' scratches :/

Polish Lorry + M6 = Forced straight into the central reservation.

F**k! You OK? Did the truck driver stop?

[George H]

Looks like Paddy has just detailed it actually (from what I hear)

On a more serious note, painful to see an Aston in that state, hope it gets sorted out quickly and hassle free

[yeti]

Glad no-one was hurt (I assume), guess anything could have happened!

very sorry to see your PAJ in that condition ....but sounds like nobody was hurt and its nothing a bit of filler cant sort out !

[woodsypedia]

I'm all good thanks. Was painful to see the result but the experience was more like Alton Towers with a bit more noise

Car has been terminated. Decided that with £47,000 worth of damage it was safer to write it off. Also had the long term value to worry about. Got a good pay out from their insurance company so it's all good. Getting married in August but then off hunting for the next one. Think it's going to have to be a DBS next time

Holy crap, sorry to see that but glad you are unhurt. It sounds like their insurance paid out, which is good news also. Gutted for you, but hey ho it is a piece of metal at the end of the day and it is insured and can be replaced. Good luck with the wedding and the hunt for a DBS.

Glad to hear you are OK
Not to surprised that is a write off

No doubt we'll see it for sale on PH in a couple of months.

Would you recommend the Insurer Woodsy ?? Who was it ??

Agreed valuation from Locktons or one of those lesser species?

+1 that also went through my head & probably with no mention of a write off

I'm with Admiral and they were fantastic but it was the other party that paid out. I was expecting a nightmare given it's a foreign vehicle but it went super smooth. Admiral aren't the cheapest but I was very pleased with the service and process. Well worth the extra money.

No mate. Police had to track him down using the motorway cameras. Once I got details it was over to the insurance company. Smooth sailing from there.

Really? Many on here seem to find that they are the cheapest by a long way

Most people go with Admiral because they are the cheapest Woodsy so interesting to see your take on it

Fair play to the car too. That's the reason you spend 100k. To be able to open the door and get out without so much as a scratch is an absolute credit to the engineering that goes into these amazing machines. Not just beautiful but incredibly safe and sturdy too.

could have done with a picture of the reg plate for future id.

[BingoBob]

Good idea. Or, better, the text so it comes up on a search*.

• Not a PH search, obviously.

[woodsypedia]

I transfered the reg to my other car to retain it until the new Aston comes along so not much use. Old reg was GN06 USU.
