Ah shame man! Thats really unlucky
 Its actually more scary to drive a classic/antique/rare car than anything think. More worried about what happens vs just enjoying it
Ex cars: '86 Opel Monza 1.6 GLS
 & '97 Opel Astra 180ie 16v - oil spill & '07 VW Polo 1.9TDI (stolen) - Awesome car!"I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life." - Henry David Thoreau

No pictures of the astra involved though.
 Quote:The mangled Aston was a complete write off, according to police. Yea I'm sure the police are well up to speed on exotic car restoration. Thats alot of damage, but on a million pound car they will probably sort that out. (29-07-2015, 08:25 AM)Dum-Dum Wrote: No pictures of the astra involved though. The Aston looks to have gone head on into the meal pole, but the rear quarter is stoved in as well?? Perhaps the Astra bumped the rear?? If the Astra driver caused the crash they are probably shitting themselves right now, the insurance claim is going to be f*cking HUGE!!!

I'd be surprised if it was written off too. A million odd quid buys a lot of man hours.

A claim is a claim isn't it? for his company to cough up! Of course it's repairable too, Aston Martin have a whole department for doing car refurbs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsT8YUzg9OY

Some insurance broker on his way to work hears this story on the radio and tightens right up
