    So you own a car that can't drive over a 'trench' in the road that causes no problems to any other of the thousands of cars that use that road. Seems hard to believe unless there was something about your car that made it more susceptible to damage (lowered, in need of repair, etc).

    The special driver?;)

    The £150 is what the council insurers will pay out if I am successful.

    So how much do you think your car was worth prior to the damage?

    What an absolutely useless and wildly inaccurate post. You obviously know nothing about cars and have made yourself look ridiculous.

    So are you any better?

    Without sounding pedantic you attacked me first.

    I couldn't give a monkeys if they've been around since 1920 in all fairness, i was merely having a laugh which this forum somewhat lacks at times

    You started it and i retaliated. You have no right to call me "rediculous" when you don't know me

    I've always fancied a series 1 escort RS turbo. Mint one's go for serious money these days.

    I actually love old skool motors, they were controlled by you the driver, not a computer. they were easier to work and in general not as expensive to repair.

    All these electric gizmos have killed cars imo.
