Drunk Driver did this...
Discussion
Ralph... Was parked outside my house and a drunk driver crashed into him......
He tried to drive off, i caught him mind...(he broke his front wishbone) Dragged him out through his window, arm lock on; head driven in to his bonnet... called police with free arm... apprantly he was going to "do me" for assult. I wish i had pulled his f
king arms off! Only had the car 4 weeks..... Afterwards i had a half bottle of whiskey and a long cry.....

in the nicest possible way, im glad that you were actually there to catch him - imagine if the no good scum would have driven off!!!!
hope you get a ruddy good payout which puts you in the market for another one, or maybe something else you fancy.
Loved my CTR - a belting hot hatch.
Well done with the restraint by the way - i hope he banged his head as you dragged him out the window, and the arm lock was suitably tight...

Just got a call. Its being fixed. Its the result i wanted. I have to pay my excess though, apprently i can claim it back but its money i dont have right now..... Thankyou for your kind comments. I am happy in the knowledge that the bloke has lost his licence, hopefully his job, bit of luck bankruptcy will kick in, and he might get herpies... failing that when he gets his licence back next year, the car he gets might suffer from that rare but dangerous "spontanious combustion" disease.....
Really sorry to hear that. But very good news on catching the f'wit. I bet the police can't charge him with leaving the scene of an accident or anything worthwhile though (we all know the DUI charge will mean nothing).
Hope they get it sorted properly...if it's your insurance for the moment, insist on it going to a properly good body shop, not one of their 'approved' ones (which typically are 2nd rate). They can't refuse you*. The regional forum on here should be able to come up with some ideas if you're stuck.
Best of luck with the car,

* Might not be entitled to a guaranteed courtesy car though, unless the bodyshop has one to spare, or unless fault has already been decided in your favour, in which case the bodyshop can hire you 'an equivalent' and recharge it back to the scrote's insurance co. Also may be worth having a quiet word initially with someone like AnniesDad.

7 Grand.... I am pleased though. Despite being insured up to my eye brows it was hassle having to get a new car, finish finance agreement etc etc... Not to mention i was worried that i would no longer have my no claims (i know i am a cock i did'nt protect them!) but Its being repaired by Honda, and i get a 5 year warrenty.. so pleased but i am without my car for a month.... 
Oh i do really! i do want him to lose his job... because then he might default on Mortgage or become homeless, or even better take up heroin and have to we his arse to tramps for money to by more of the good stuff. and then die of bum death...painfully. I will pay the excess, and i am likly to claim most of it back due to the recovery agents cocking about.. swings and roundabouts....

Really can't imagine how I'd feel in the same situation. Totally agree with your hopes for as much pain and suffering for this waste of space in the future though - was only through luck rather than his own 'judgement' that prevented it being a person he was leaving scrapes and dents all down the side of instead.
Hells bells :S Id have murdered the guy mate. Im also impressed at your restraint.
Drink driving really pees me off. I know this sounds bad for you, but Im glad he'd hit your car, not a child or Ginge getting out of the car or anything :S
Hope insurance pay out swiftly and he gets the punishment he deserves mate.
