As some of you have probably seen on Facebook, I was rear ended in my coupe driving to work on Tuesday morning. Woman in a micra somehow failed to see me indicate and brake which resulted in her going straight into the back of me at about 50mph ![Sad Sad](https://www.306oc.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/sad.png)
Pissed off is an understatement after spending 2 weeks of early mornings before work putting in a solid flywheel conversion, new clutch, loads of service stuff and suspension + brake refresh to see it all taken away by one mong not paying attention on a busy main road.
Doesn't look too bad in pictures as the bumper popped back out but underneath the car is all bent and about 2 inches shorter in the boot floor with creases running along the quarter panels. Total loss write off :![Sad Sad](https://www.306oc.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/sad.png)

So yeah, pretty shit situation at the start of my first week at the new job, currently driving a Nissan quasqhi thing rental car lol
This leaves me another problem, what the hell do I get next![lmao lmao](https://www.306oc.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/legacy/lmao.gif)
I'll be buying the coupe back from the insurance company as it's got so many brand new parts id be stupid to let them scrap it, so I could buy another hdi coupe and transfer all my good bits. Very time consuming and frustrating that I have to do the same job twice.
Or, get something completely different as a daily commuter...
It'll have to be diesel with my 40+ mile commute daily but just can't decide what.
Thoughts so far:
Renault sport megane dci175
407 v6 hdi coupe
Alfa romeo jtd of some sort
Another 406 coupe
Vauxhall astra g888
Something along those lines, any other suggestions?
