The car belonged to a member of the Maserati forum, apparently a member of Ross Packards staff had been returning it from Meridian when it was crashed. Ross Packard has allready given the owner a generous cheque to cover the cost of the car.
There was one just like that rear ended on the Keynsham bypass in the middle of last week. Didn't see the car close up but the Astra that shunted it was a right mess, bonnet right up.
BUT I did note the car had a P then single digit numberplate. A strange coincidence.
Oh dear - gutted for you. at least the garage is dealing with it in the correct manner. Was this member of staff enjoying the journey a little too much then? Never seen one of those airbags before.
Gutted for the loss of your car, but nice to see a garage own up (not that it could be anyone elses fault ) and immediately put the owner right! Going to be replaced or are you looking at something new now?
Another vote of confidence in Ross, carried out some work for me not so long ago & was one of those surprisingly efficient & courteous companies with exceptional standards of work.
A GranSport would be good, a bit over budget at the moment but if I wait a month or two there may be some winter bargains around. As an interim measure I was toying with the idea of an RX-8
. Damn clever, these Italians.
