mel Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hi Everyone,Not been on here 4 a while, anyway in May my galnza was vandelised at Modified Nationals 2008 was so gutted could not bring myself to speak about it - anyway do not mind talking about it now as its all fix up nice so here is the story : It all started off with a 18 yr old girl that reversed her mini cooper into my front bumper, pushed it all in made a right mess this was on the campsite my glanza was parked near my tent as she did this. I told her to best settle it now I had a bout 20 lads around my car that night trying to say a spray can will sort it, oh I told them yeah right as if - got £100 out of her 2hrs later due to her excess being a lot more so this was easier to do it this way.I left it at that once it was settled left my car at 7.45pm to go to the night party like they have, came back at 1.45am vagley saw a figure jumping on my roof & bonnet could not beleive what the hell I saw!!!! Confronted them who was all around my car they all denied it like they would do, so I got the police but absolutley usless but all they could try & do was arrest me for swearing lol !Had to stay on this campsite all night next to these bunch of dicks could not sleep cause I was bothered what else they could do to my car - disappeared home early the next day so pissed off ruined weekend did put me right off to go to these car shows again ( this only gets worse ) £2700 worth of damaged was estimated my insurance got an inspector out who then tried to say that my car was modified I had so many & I mean so many big arguments that this was not modified, the guy was an old fart who had never seen one before the words of mods kept being mentioned cause of turbo & the car was down as GLS on my documents was not my fault as when I took the insurance I made clear that it was 1.3 turbo anyway I won that case & wiped the smile off there faces in the end paid out to me by cheque £2700 Ha Ha Ha !!I had the last laugh came up smelling of roses, so too you vandels thank you very much xPs. will try & upload new pics 4 u all 2 look at & see what u all think !!

SpeedFreak Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Its really shit to hear that someone has done this to you, glad you got it sorted in the end.The only thing I would say, is I wouldnt be so happy that you have got more money from your insurers....this just means you will pay more premiums when your next up for renewal because you claimed on your own insurance. So I wouldnt thank the vandals too much. And the reason I know this is because I worked in insurance claims so know how it all worked out. Donny I think is a dodgy show for vandals too, didnt any of you guys see the pictures of the cars left on bricks last year? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
