So today
This happened Outside the house
Bmw 3 series , 40mph blinded by ice on the windscreen and low sun ...
The car is heading for copart at Wolverhampton, and being frank , it can be fixed
Reg number is KV05YCP, milage is just over 141k
I owned the car for just short of 4 years , and it has been “looked after, very good service history mainly Audi , then dropping in the the normal back street stuff around 6 years ago
Repairs required are as follows if you fancy bidding
Steering pump
Washer pump /bottle
Wing
Inner wing
Ns wish bone
Ns consule
Ns drive shaft
Crash bar
Bumper
Head light
Fog light
Fog light trim
May be ABS pump
Engine undertray
Drop link
Shock
Spring
Maybe wiring loom repair
Maybe wiring loom repair
Overall , your looking at 3 -4 weekends , and around 1k of 2nd parts parts to get a really good car back on the road
myself , if the car was moveable , I would have a crack myself , but its not to be this time

Mark, that's horrendous ... I hope the Police throw the book at the BMW driver and his insurance coughs up big time. And thank heavens it wasn't Basil!

Let battle commence! I already have supporting information to back the claim
Belive it or not , no action by the plod , dispiriting to say the least , Derbyshire police force nuff said , driver left the incident , only to to return following the powers of Facebook , cctv and living in a small village .... was rather surprised to find the a2 had been pushed back 4mts and into a further car .... which looks also looks be a write off ....

If it had been Basil , I think I may have lost the plot ! This A2 , was known as project shed , or Egg , RIP it’s was brought as a replacement for on written off by a bmw , was repaired twice following bumps , and partly rewired when the starter motor set fire to it , this however is the end , a very sad day on one less A2 on the road
Yep nil injury’s , very , very lucky as the path is on the school run for the village , and the car ended up well on the pavement

What?!? My wife clipped a wing mirror on a narrow street (didn’t notice, maybe heard a loud tap - so she drove on...). His glass was broken and he called the Police. We had Police at the door, were called to the station, formally interviewed and she was lucky that she only got points and a fine.
They accepted it was unintentional and so allowed the fine and points. First offence. Clean licence and a Smart car!
Get your force sorted. Driving off is illegal! You can hardly fail to have noticed that little bump!

Driving off is supposed to be 5 points. Some yoof in a Saxo VTR did it to me many years ago after he skidded into a rear-quarter shunt on the car I was driving. I got his number plate and reported it to Police and my insurance. He refused to accept any enquiry from his insurers about it, but luckily a witness backed up my Police report and he was collared. However he was very contrite after arrest and ended up with a driver awareness course rather than the points.

@Away with the fairys are you keeping and breaking the car? I thought I read on FB you’re taking bits of to sell, or did I misinterpret?

Morning
i have offered the seats to a couple of well known members ,whom I have built very strong ties with over the last couple of years.Those are going tomorrow ahead the cars collection on Monday
In reality, I would have liked the challenge to rebuild the car , as I know it is a “sound “ car , but carrying this task outdoors at this time of year , along with the fact the car is immobile on the street , has rather forced the hand
all the parts required are readily available and my brief inspection suggested nil damage to the Space frame , it’s just the amount of other bolt on parts which are damaged !
there are a couple of bits which i going to remove , hand brake tray , front winglets , heated mirrors , wiperarm and full set of mudflaps ,those will be set aside for the next car , or offered for sale once the lockdown is over
i am currently working away from home which is not helping !
Regards Mark

Hello Mark,
If you do decide to sell the heated mirrors I would be interested in them for the Dolphin Grey (250) A2. I sold my last set far too cheap and could do with them now.
You’re not that far away and travel near you once every 2 weeks so could collect whilst remaining safe.
Let me know and I’ll keep looking out in the market area.
Kind regards,
Tom
