TBH It happened so quickly.
I was waiting on a straight road to turn right and a car was coming the other way and I moved and CRUNCH! The other car was a Vectra and did not do not do so well, front bumper falling off, bloke needed loads of gaffer tape to get home. I've contacted the insurance company and Joe Macari are going to fix it(just aswell I'm not paying). My policy doesn't include an alternative car but JM are going to lend us something FOC, a Fiat though. I thought this was generous of them but i guess that they are going to charge my insurance company big bucks!

Oops sorry to hear that Brendan glad all are okay Its only a hunk of metal at the end of the day but a bloooody pretty hunk ,hope im wrong but i reckon border line right off there, Bumper £2K with the trimes and grill , headlight washer pump and cap £150 , headlight and side light £1000 (main dealler paint and labour approx £3K add on the assessor etc ...............getting near the mark ,and if the oil tank is damaged or cross member /airbag pretty sure it will total loss it
hope it goes your way , if they do total it buy it back cheap then get it done privately , we can always locate some excellent used parts , in theory that could be done for around £2500

Car was trailered away, driver couldn't get it to reverse(I rememer that). Joe Macari have given me a little runaround...
Its red
Scuderia shields
Ferrari written everywhere
Red, white and green stripe down the middle
Thats right its a FIAT 500. Anyway as its FOC I can't complain.
Must admit have not thought about it being written off. But OEM parts, paint, trailer transport all adds up.
