Perfect Whilst It Lasted...

Ah well, only had her 8 weeks and some old 
drove into my griff in a pub car park.... whilst I was actually getting in the car!!!!! He then was going to drive off!!
Contancorous old git didn't even apologise!! Not major damage except to the old pride, fibreglass smashed around the headlamp and the headlamp lense pushed back... so all those asking about how Sunninghill Insurance operate I'll be able to tell you soon
You know, if I'd have pushed it too hard and gone off the road I wouldn't feel half as bad, at least I would have been enjoying myself...
Yours...
Gutted!

No he couldn't, he was about 75 so lashing out at him wasn't really on, got his details etc.. I think his foot slipped off the clutch whilst he was reversing.
But it still hurts... I just know the amount of hassle I am going to have over this...
Ah well, a sunny morning blast helped ease the pain

I had a similar thing happen to the Supra.
Someone had taken a bit of paint off the rear bumper and it needed re-spraying.I was going to have to pay for it as I didn't know who had done it.
As luck would have it, this old guy, in a Green Beetle crunches into the bumper about a month later, taking an even bigger chunk of paint off.
I chased him out of the car park banging on his window.
He didn't notice me knocking to start with, he had a hearing aid, and was totally oblivous that he had hit my car.He was making strange farting noises as he crossed the road to look at the damage also!!
I said to him there is a mark on his car and he said "that was from before."
He didn't want it to go through insurance and paid the £150 to have my bumper resprayed.He did have the cheek to say that £150 was a bit expensive though.

My sympathies. I once watched as a woman slung her door open into the side of my Griff in a Halfords car park in Warwick. The damage was quite bad for a door bang. She denied everything, called me a stuck-up rich C*** and blamed it on me for parking too close (she parked next to me, not the other way round).
You gotta take a deep breath and rise above it. People say that's what insurance is for but it never means you get away without some kind of pain. Maybe here's your opportunity to sort out stone chips?
Best of luck

Too right. I was in a motorway service station once (just the once!) and a guy in a Rover 400 backed straight into the side of my Chimaera. I saw him coming and was hooting and shouting (roof off) which made no difference whatsoever. Fortunately, it was a 1-2mph ding on the side of the car (I'd been reversing out of a space and was about to do a final back-and-forth shuffle to get out) and the GRP took it and sprang back out with (luckily) no paintwork damage.
He then looked at me with intelligence-free, bovine eyes and drove off. No apology, nada...
