Angry :( .... my poor baby... hit by a truck...

Well... I don't know what to say...

It was parked (legally), a truck came around the round-about... Trailer wasnt attatched properly...

Hit my car so hard it lifted it.

Here are some pics... Let me kno if you think its a write off or not...

I was inside (about 4 doors down) I heard a massive bang and an alarm going off... I thought to myself "someones not gonna be happy"... And guess what... the someone wasnt happy....

But I have full comp insurance, the truck driver has full insurance and has admitted fault to myself and the police so...

In one of the pictures, im not sure if its just the way the car is parked or how you took the photo, but it looks like the parcel shelf and everything is uneven. That looks nasty.

Dunno if it will be a write off or not, just lucky it didnt hit the front then you may have been a little more trouble.

Good thing the truck driver stopped and everything...Wouldve made you somewhat unhappier.

The only thing that I can see is the rear 1/4 panel is up against the back door. The car body has moved about 4mm maybe 5mm. If that comes out ok it should be repairable. But it's guna cost a bit to fix. All comes down to how much they cost to replace nowdays.

Holy F*ckin sh*t!!
Thats massive....

I recon it would be a fine like between it being a write of and a repair...
I recon the deciding factor is gonna be if the C-Pillar sustained much damage..
Caus from what i see there from below the boot the car is fine so its mainly panel damage and not chassis

Good luck with it!
Luck you weren't in the car! That would have caused some severe wicklash and neck trauma!

It was a mack truck... Pretty damn big... But it was thr trailer that hit my car (I think)...

I'm hopings its NOT repairable... as much as I love that car... If they fix it.. It will never feel the same to me...

I'd rather get a pay out and go find myself another vt 2 or vx calais... I just hope I'm happy with the pay out...

We'll see what happends but yeah.. either way I'm without a car for a fair bit... stuffed when it comes to getting to uni.... I dunno... Im kind of in a state of shock at the moment so..

Ohhhh mike, it's worse than you described. It was just the other week you were here at my house and she was sooooo perfect, and she just met Ruby and now.... Ohhhhhh.....I think I'm gonna cry. I was so impressed with her when you were here.
