Who was in the bus lane? Was it you or the other car?

I think Edition_30_P was in the bus lane, presumably when it isn't a bus lane (ie outside of bus lane hours).

I hate the chumps who give fake details. Probably had no insurance etc. Retard hope you screw him over. Sorry to hear about the accident and hope you get things sorted.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Sorry to hear about the collision mate. In situations like this it is always best to call the local station and get a panda to come out to you, especially if he is giving false details to you.
Filling in the self reporting forms can take up to 6 months for anything to happen, and most of the time they don't actually go anywhere and get written off.
Sorry to bring a (bigger) downer on the issue.

Thank you for the heads up, Al! I've notified my insurance company so hopefully it is that he was a 2nd driver on the policy! Even though the police station is a 2 minute walk from where it happened I didn't think to call them out to the scene!

Update:

Hi guys,

Well, today I fitted my new Sachs uprated performance clutch at work... What a flipping palava!!! Me and my mate Solid set of on fitting it (with Solid doing most of the work). Got the driveshaft, Intake, battery and box out in 30 mins which I thought was bloody quick! Then looked at the old clutch and flywheel and, the old clutch was ******ed! It has warped into a different shape which caused it the not to make 100% contact with the Flywheel, hence the slipping! The old Flywheel was actually not as bad as I thought it would be but, just for piece of mind changed it!
















Then, thought it all went Pete Tong!! Started the Car once it had all been boxed up and, Solid said there was a fierce vibration once the car had been engaged and, a very strong smell of clutch! My whole mood changed after that.. I was gutted! So we had to lift it up again, pull it all apart again and checked to see if we had done it wrong! All was bolted on and put together fine so boxed it all up again and, when Solid fired it up as I didn't want to look or listen he did so and, when I opened my eyes and uncovered my ears he was gone! So all must have gone well as he was gone for 20 mins.. Then I heard the loud decat roaring through the u derground Car park and saw my baby driving fine! Solid had a huge smile on his face and shouted "I love it"! Then there was slot of smoke coming from the Bonnet so, jumped out and looked under and it was the coolant temp sensor. The clip had broken and therefore the sensor had come free from the housing and all the coolant had gone! So got a new o-ring, clip and 2 bottles of coolant and all was good again!

Wow. A bit of a rollercoaster ride but great to hear it turned out fine in the end.

Did you have an uprated flywheel or was it OEM DMF?

Even if he wasnt insured on the car, as long as the car is insured then they have to deal with it as and RTA insurer or Article 75 insurer. MIB no longer pays out to uninsured drivers where there is a policy in place on the car. Only if it is totally un insured. The best thing to do is check askmid.com to see if his registration is insured and go after that company. If you have pics, police report or a witness this should speed thing right up.

@ Ruffrydaz: Also forgot to mention, the car got sorted out  :pomppomp:! The guys insurance company did'nt get hold of him so just agreed to get the Car done which was a touch!

@ Rich: The Garage is spanking... You could eat grub off the floor :wink:.. It's 30 ramp workshop! Biggest Audi dealership in the world!

@ Stealth! Rollercoaster wasn't the word.. Thought I was gonna have a heart attack when we took it all apart again! Still getting used to the new clutch. It has a sharp, snappy spring to it. I used an OEM LUK DMF too! Decided to stay with the DMF as I use the car everyday and, to be honest don't like the SMF!

@edition_30_p
Someone hit me from the back and the car was insured but they cant get hold of him, its been a month. How long did it take out of interest until they payed up.
p.s do you still have your gti backbox for sale?

It actually took a week as I was a pest and phoned them everyday asking if they've spoken to him! So, after 5 days they said they will accept liability and fix my Car! So recommended the bodyshop @ work and they gave me an Eos for 5 days and, got it back the day before good friday! Back box is sold mate! Sorry!

Just out of interest how much did the damage cost
Mines about £2800 which is probably why they wont pay out so quick?
