I need your sympathy!

[limebrook1]

As you may be able to guess I need some sympathy please! I fell foul of some ice this morning, and lost control of my lovely little car - hit some trees head on, then landed up backed into the same set of trees somehow! Looks like the cars a write off - I've had it 7 years, and it has been the best car I have ever owned! Won't get much back for it, and it will be impossible in my village without a car as there is no public transport!

I was only 200 yards from home too! Mind you - I would say the everyone was fantastic - the chap behind me stopped (having slid on the same ice he only just managed to stop!), rang the police and stayed until they arrived! The police came, and the constable told me he would stay with the car until the RAC arrived - he had to wait in the cold for 2 hours! It was a total accident, and the police didn't even bother to take my details.

Luckily I am unhurt, just very shaken, and very very fed up! Excuse poor photo - taken on mobile with very shaky hands!

Anyone got a car for sale??

Trish,
You are so lucky to be okay after hearing your description and seeing that photo! And that is what is the important thing.

I hope you're wrong and insurance will be good to you and you can replace this with another car soon.

So sorry about the accident!

Sorry to hear about your accident. Glad to hear your OK. Although I have several cars , I don't think the postage would be resonable. Perhaps
allstarface could be saddled up put to good use. Don't forget to wear ear plugs and a chastity belt.

Hope a little humor makes you feel better.

Yup - humour helps a lot! But when it comes to Allstar I think I ought to take you seriously!! And I have a nice pic in my head of a car covered with postage stamps! Need a lot of wrapping paper!

Thanks CP

Hi Trish sorry to read about your accident, glad to see you are OK....cars can always be replaced .....but not human life.....take good care...

Re: I need your sympathy!

Oh Trish oh my oh my, you will be freightened forever of icy roads, I am certain ... you are lucky to have flat roads with no embankments that you might have rolled over in .... enough of the what could have been.

I can feel your heart and body shake and although you have stopped shaking now, you will tremble for a very long time. You are very fotunate.

I understand what you are saying about the insurance and you probably won't be able to replace your car for what they will offer ....

Trish you are certainly a valuable member and asset on this board and have many friends here.

Consider a "paypal" button, I would press submit and perhaps would not be the only one who would like to help you out in this time of need. A few canadian dollars wouldn't hurt anyone. :)
Seriously.

Take care my dear and do have a bit of wine once you have been checked medically. So glad you are okay.

How long were you alone before someone came to your rescue?

Re: I need your sympathy!

Will think the good thoughts for you towards getting a new vehicle..

Re: I need your sympathy!

So Sorry Trish to hear and see your accident. Here in Colorado with all the ice and snow we have had, it has been a challenge driving. I'm just glad that you are alright. From the looks of your car...you are very fortunate!
