Last saturday, while i was working.
Parked my car at the street.
It was standing there by itself.

At 11am some guy walks into the garage and asks me if i've got a black Opel Corsa.
That's mine yes, is said.
I'm sorry the guy says, i've been driven upto your car.
It's got a little damage......
Walked with him outside, and saw my poor little Corsa....









The stupid arse got his drivers license by driving a camel if you ask me.
The guy came around the corner wich you can see at the pics.
And crashed with his front in my side.....

As you can see, it's been hit on the wheel, en the axle is completely damaged.

Were you parked like that or did he push it?

You're right - back axle looks well wonky!

At least he stopped - many people wouldn't.

I had it parked like the standing of the front wheels.

Yes, at least he came to me.
But with so much people outside, it's too dum to drive further.

Not a massive amount of damage considering how much it has moved.
Its only a rear axle, that can be salvaged for little money.

New quater panel if the insurance company doesnt write it off! Not really an economic repair!

At least the bloke came forward and admitted to it.

Good luck getting it repaired

It didn't write it off.
Came at 2500 euro's, don't know how much it's in pounds....

I'm going to claim an new panel, cause i'm not a lover of bad restored damages.
That's the only thing the expert found to restore, but not good enough for me.
Than rather have a new panel.

Got some cash to spend as example on skirts, so i'm looking for some rieger skirts, and a j-c design frontlip.
And who knows maybe a set rearbrakes on the rear.

Here's a little update of my car.

It's got a new panel, original Opel.
The door also had a little damage from the ex-owner.
And it's now gone, as you can see.

It's also getting a bad-boy-bonnet.
And the rear wiper is also gone.

Clean Corsa.
