only had my L200 2 weeks and written off!!

Glad the kids are ok Doug, the truck is a load of metal and can be replaced. It doesn't bear thinking what could have happened if you had a smaller, less sturdy vehicle. Drink drivers truly are filth.

Heard of a bloke who bought a L200 some years ago when I used to drink in a pub with Mitzi salesmen; he bought one for him and one for his wife. His wife got rammed by a truck on the A53 (anybody who knows it, it's a pretty bad road), she stopped, he didn't in time. The police said any other shape vehicle, or any smaller one, would have almost certainly be under the truck still and anybody in side unlikely to have survived.

The insurance paid out and he went straight back to get another. The lads then used this in their sales blurb which is fair enough. They had pictures of it all in a file etc.

And I can never get over the hilux that top gear put through its paces with a wrecking ball, fire, the sea, etc etc and it still ran until the stuck it on top of a high rise during a demolition. That just about killed it in the end. lol

You can see why hil billies in the US still have old 60's and 70's pickups running to this day.

So probably not long left a bar or something then as opposed to just still over the limit a bit from the night before. She should have known better.

and this whole horrible situation Doug is making me convinced that my decision to buy a big 4x4 is the right thing to do. my little corsa won't stand up to any kind of smash i'm sure.

lol that made me laugh. Typical of kids. And parents. lol

I'd be the same as either a kid or parent there.

I'm sure the vino will help you brush it off mate.

How much Dom? Is it the lad with the Garage? I know it'd be sound if he's selling it.

My heart stopped as soon as I read that theywere in the car mate. thank god they are ok mate. What a silly, silly ignorant, inconsiderate muppet of a woman. You must be a complete fool to take the car out under the influence.

Hope you take her to the cleaners mate!
