Newbie damaged already!

Post by dave0555 » Mon Jul 08, 2013 11:57 am

Was going to post pics of my bargain buy 5th generation silver 2.0i but some kebab in a Skoda tried to undercut me on a Gravesend roundabout this morning and clouted the rear left corner. Even tried to blame me! Luckily his insurance company told him to wise up. I was in front and safely on the roundabout so he has had to accept responsibility. Last time I bought a VTEC 2.2 4th gen and it got written off within two weeks of ownership! Also third party at fault.

Seems my 'lude ownership is jinxed - only had it 10 days. Took it through London yesterday and it was perfect - even in the heat the temp gauge never fluctuated - fantastic car and all for 400 quid!

Not another :roll: it seems ludes are destined to be written off lately. I had a close call last night with some gentlemans sausage who decided to cut in from the right hand lane on an island, no indication or fook all :evil:

Fingers crossed you get more than £400 payout if its written off ;)

Rotten luck :evil:

I hope someone clouts his rear left corner. And his car.

Well done on the car & bad luck with the arsehole.

What it is about Prelude rear ends of late? It's at least the second car to attract an utter VAG...
