articulated f**king lorry drivers

"ok so its about quarter past 3. im sat at word just slowly getting bits done. when all of a sudden my cousin who sits opposite me jumps up shouting ""phil phil get your ing arse outside someone in a lorry has just hit your car""

so i without a second thought leg it outside. to find a massive 40foot lorry reversing out of the yard. so i run past it and see my car. now im exspecting to see a scratch on front bumper or something but no. the rear quarter pannel is crushed and been pushed in about a foot the rear passenger window has been shattered and my car has moved about 2 foot.. so i scream to the driver to stop and get the out of his cab. he does and totaly denies hitting my car. so i walk round the back of his trailer with him and what do we find? tinted glass on his bash guard and blue paint too. so i go crazy with im.

2 of my collegues whitnessed it all and told me he lifted my car a good 3 foot off the floor on the passenger side.

so ive foned insurance etc etc car is at work stored in the warehouse.

Insurance company are gunna get my car collected by Sunday and drop a car off for me to use while mine is been fixed...

not what i want right about now especially with my birthday coming up on monday...

pics to follow once i take some tomorow"

Holy mate so sorry to hear this. You have had a bad spell lately with your car... Can't believe the lorry driver tried to denied it what is it with people these days?! Hope you get it sorted but when it comes to panels and frames they might decide to right it off rather then fix it but really depends on the extent of the damage.

" me.. you not having much luck with that car... Gutted for you fella... Lucky that someone saw it though... would of been a nasty suprise at end of work.. hope you get it all sorted.."

"yeah not having a great deal of luck lol. well if that lass hadnt of gone for a fag and foned when she did. he would have gone n id be stuck with the bill. but hopefully ill get a courtesy car before weekend so wont be off road while it been fixed. @dazzi i dont think its done any damage to the structure as the passenger door still opens and closes properly. just looks like hes pushed all the pannels in. but with him lifting the passenger side of the car about 3 foot up then the car dropping back down when he moved forword again he might have twisted my chassis so they may write it off. but the car is worth about 4k so im hoping it wont be a right off.

Really lucky it didn't bend the door frame!

"yeah the guy who collected it checked it out and said its a case of cutting the rear quarter off just before the roof and just under the door welding another back on then painting it. he said itl be about 2 weeks roughly and he said they will valet my car inside and out give it a going over with polish etc etc"
