WHAT A sh*tE WEEK
« on: December 06, 2014, 02:53:33 am »
In the last week i had my golf breakdown last Thursday & mr AA bloke had to recover it to my m8's garage, on Saturday my wife called me to inform me she had punched some car up the ass with my octavia so hard its a write off...at the time she had the kids in the car with her thankfully all was strapped in various car seats & are unharmed.

So this means all week I've been dealing with various degrees of jobs worths at different insurance companys & to add insult to injury my golf needed new high pressure pump £180 also fuel tank sender unit £98 & fuel pump relay £15.50 not forgetting road tax £152 & some new philips h7 plus 130 extreme bulbs £24. i also had to hire a car to get around in while my car sat in the garage for the past 8 days £250.

So to sum things up costs so far approx £500 & I've got look for a new car for the wifey to destroy.

Sorry to hear about your woe's......It always seems to come in big lumps like that!!

Main thing is that wife and kids are all ok mate. Worse things could have happened.
Cars can be sorted..albeit it must all feel a right pain in the ar$e at the minute.

Sorry to hear that. Sounds bad now, but your week sounds nothing on my past 5 months.   :jumping:

At least it's all just metal that can be repaired or covered with insurance.

Sorry to hear about this Graham, as said before though, you all have your health and everything else can be replaced.
