Ian will be mini-less for a short time.....

I think it would be safe to say we will be fitting a LAMINATED windscreen in your next mini....?

Glad your ok......

Sorry couldn't resist

you are getting too old for the mini, its time to get a nissan micro and only go out on sundays.
Glad to hear you are ok mate.

that looks like a nasty crash - glad you're ok... how long do people need therapy for when they mince their restored mini for?

My therapy was recieving 2 mini mags whilst in intensive care after my mini accident. You have plenty of time to read all the classifieds when your stuck in bed.

Hi Ian,

That looks like Sands' yard at Brumstead, am I correct?

I am sorry to hear about and see the mini. Glad to hear that you have survived, again. Do you recall being mini-less before, just about when the Hodders joined NMOC for the first time? I hope we don't always have this effect on you.

I have just joined the ranks of mini owners once again with a 1993 Rio.

If I can be of any help let me know.

I like "Secret" plans...... we sound like the Nazi's.......

So do you still want that reversing light?

Close shave postie!

Glad you lived buddy, could have been nasty that one....

The latest is that I have contacted the insurance company, first at midday when they promised to phone me back, which they didn't and then I phoned them at 5-30pm.
I am insured with Kinetic via HIC.
Kinetic want to use a salvage company to take my car away and then deal with me. I told them I wanted to keep the car and they send an engineer to inspect it. Tim assures me I have the right to insist on this.
Having narrowly avoided an appointment with the grim reaper I am determined to see H829FLE back on the road with the insurance companies help or not.

You have the right to salvage retention with HIC.

You must use the term salvage retention in the event of a write off.

You have right to retain YOUR vehicle and refuse collection from a salvage company.. Its YOUR car to do with as YOU wish. No insurance company can force collection upon you.
