They've changed their tune since I let them deal with the claim on my R32 after it was whacked just over 24 hours after I got it. My claim manager was inferring that I should not concern myself about costs since they were all getting reclaimed. Mind you, there was no personal injury involved in my claim.

Is it wrong that I find that bruise cool?!

Does look sore though - hope you get better soon.

I bet Humphrey is sighing relief at the thought that it could have been him!

Every time I look at my car I feel a surge of releif it wasn't mine, and we both feel the same about Humph, not least because it would have ended our season's racing.

Got a week off work, but having to work today from home because things simply need doing!

Think I'm having slight nervous issues with driving but it could just be the pain I'm experiencing. Having to concentrate a lot more, if I zone out I think of the crash. I'm being a lot more hesitant and a bit nervy on the brakes at junctions. Hopefully this will wear off!

It will. I was the same after my bike crash. Took me a while to get back into it, but I'm back to my hooligan ways again! The injuries no doubt don't help either.

It will wear off, don't worry. All perfectly normal *hugs* The best thing you can do is get back in a car as soon as possible, so well done on that

vix · 26-05-2009, 12:03

Yeah we've both driven and passenged, so no scary mary's hopefully. Weather wasn't great today either so hopefully I'll be ok in a bit.

Wah :/

You know when you are about to fall alseep and you get that falling thing, and you kind of bump on to the bed? Just been trying to nod off, feel really tired, but just before I doze off, I see the side of that Fiesta, hear the crash and jolt awake. Done it three times now. Feel pretty sick.

In other news, Phil's courtesy car has arrived, and the claim company have just rang about my personal injury claim.

I have had that falling thing before. As far I was concerned I was in free fall then suddenly thought I was falling out of bed. I then proceeded to throw myself out of bed in the hotel

Having seen what Phil's temp car is.... be prepared for him to park the motor, check his hair in the mirror, and then after about 10mins come mincing into the house

Hun that is horrible

Hope it improves soon.

What is the temp car then? I am intrigued

Here it is: His name is Max. You'll see it at the weekend anyway, as well as our skidmarks on the A11 if you know where to look!
