Argghh: taken roughly.

#1

Or more accurately SWMBO was. By a bloody great LWB Transit type thing
in her 145.

Boot won't open or shut properly, looks to me like the rear quarter
shouldn't be that shape and the spare wheel well / boot floor is
definitely bent.

I suppose that will get written off then.

At least driver bloke admitted it was his fault, and has already been in
to his insco.

In those circumstances, can't you *insist* they repair it?

Now there's an interesting question.

It's been very painless so far. Just waiting for the hire car to be
arranged....

Indeed. I haven't experienced a trustworthy answer to that question
yet so do let us know how it goes old chap! ;-)

If she wanted a MiTo, then there are easier ways of getting one. She didn't
have to panel beat the 145 into 1!

Heh. She won't be getting a Mito unless we sell the company. In which
case I'll be aiming to get one free with my Masrerati.
