I crashed my car last week and there is too much damage to fix her. The garage are estimating the cost now but I know its going to be stupid amounts after what they have told me the damage is.
Ok so what shall I do?
-Buy another corsa sport (1.6 this time) and put all the bits on it
-Buy something different
If you think i should buy something different what do u recommend. Maybe something with bigger boot space? Still sporty though. I still want a slightly modded car, sort of how mine was, would u recommend buying one like that or doing it myself? Not sure on money maybe a couple of grand most.
Thanks guys, can't beleive how sad i feel though

Well basically i missed a turning on a roundabout and attempted to take it and mounted the curb, not sure how fast but no more than 30mph. Dont ask why i tried to take the turning it was just a quick reaction and the wrong one  Car didnt look bad just bend the wheel in, no body damage but the whole passenger side had dropped so i was kinda expecting it to be bad. Basically my fella rang the garage and they said:
Chassis cracked or snapped
Wing damage
Valance damage
Gearbox plate damaged
Wheel cracked the floor
Drive shaft damage.
Must have been the way i hit the curb to cause all that damage. Whoops!

What car you driving with a 3.5 V8? Ford Capri? Landrover disco? Jag XJ8? Rover...? 
What about a saxo/pug 106 for your next car?

My corsa was wrote off recently and i didnt no wot to go for next either. Was a very hard decision - whether to go for small and sporty or big and practical.
Last Thursday i bought an Audi A4 full RS4 lookalike and havent looked back since. So much more comfortable and spacious, but not much speed. Cost £2500 so just goes to show wot you can get for the price of a corsa

Oh i haven't got a clue what to get it depends on the money and whether i can get insured. My fella wants to go look at some Honda Civic Type R's at the weekend not the brand new shape the one before that. He said we could have it between us and sell his other car. Do u reckon i would get insured on my own cus with the V8 its thru his insurance?

You will be 
I wouldn't want to car share tbh as if he has the car you won't have the freedom to go where you want when you want.
