Owch!!! Cool colour though

Jesus Christ Vix, that looks nasty

You poor poor thing. Where abouts is that???

I'd echo what APOL has said. Keep all of your receipts and make sure you claim back for the lot. You shouldn't be out of pocket for this. I'm confused as to why the insurance aren't sorting storage fees out on your behalf though. Most odd!

I thought so. I'd like a dress that colour. Some of it is cut too :/ It really hurts!

Kate, it's from the lap belt so it's right across my tummy. Its cropped because just under it is my crotch to give you an idea of where it is. Think I came up and out of the seat a bit as it's not usually where the lap belt sits.

We wont be out of pocket. Already kept the taxi receipt from getting home from hospital last night. It looks like I'm going to have to get taxis to work, which is a fair way, so I'll be keeping those receipts too. Mileage to and from Chiropractor, pay for the times I can't work (doubt I'll be able to do my normal 8 hour day), fees for retreiving the car, anything else I can think of

Big bar of chocolate to get over the trauma?

Couple of bottles of vodka.

My insurer isn't involved, so far i've contacted Helphire to ensure I get a nice courtesy car. They'll be delivering something to work tomorrow although what it'll be exactly will be a surprise. One of the things Helphire have said is that I have an obligation to minimise the charges I incur and they stressed that getting the car out of storage was a priority. I'll still get back any costs so it's not a problem and to be honest I'm happy to do it as i'd rather the car was here where I can look it over myself and keep an eye on it anyway.

As for salvage as far as I'm concerned once I give them the option of either giving me salvage for a token amount or the retail value of all the aftermarket parts fitted on top of the value of a suitable base car then I'm sure they'll let me keep the car.
