Sat in the house just before 8am.

Bang, alarm going off.

A woman who lives down the road had lost control of her car and gone into the front of our van. So, that's it clobbered at the back and the front now. Bloomin' marvellous.

Well one things for sure now Graham. Your not going to get a badly repaired van now. The problem is which one of the now 2 insurance companies is going to pay to replace it.

Sorry to hear about the frontal re-arrangement of your van :Sad:

I would make sure you de-magnetise the van. It would seem to attract large metal objects :Smile:

Bad luck Graham, that's all you need, might have been better chancing it on the drive with the builders.

Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, we're only waiting for enemy action now! :Angry:

Well Graham there is a good side to this at least you hadn't had it repaired from the first one, before the second.

Hope your luck changes soon.

What terrible bad luck, god know how the insurance companies are going to sort that one out. they usually say are there any other insurance companies involved.
Thankfully no one was hurt, things can be replaced.

So sorry to hear about this Graham, and like all your other friends we hope the insurance companies manage to sort themselves out and that you have a replacement motorhome soon. If you need a courtesy motorhome I have one you can use :ROFLMAO:

Happy Christmas

Goodness gracious me - what's your number plate - make sure I don't park anywhere near you in future. :Eeek:

On the other hand - if your motorhome is so attractive to other vehicles - parking next to you is probably the safest place to be. :winky::thumb:

Merry Christmas

Sorry to hear that your problems get worse. It sounds as if there is an opening for a good driving instructor in your area.

I take it you are not turning it around to get the other corners modified to match.

Hey Graham...

Free advice from the QMJ Chief Guru and Cult Leader...

When the insurance company(s) has/have sorted out your claim(s) and have, by a strange quirk of fate, given you much more money than you expected enabling you to upgrade to a "dreamt of but never thought you would own" van, what ever you do, don't park it there!

It brings to mind words (modified) from the late, great genius Tommy Cooper...

Graham... "Hey, guess what, my motorhome got smashed in two places..."

Guru... "Stop going to those places..."

JJ :Cool:

Well the good thing is, Graham will absolutely NOT have to get involved in any argy-bargying between Asda's and the neighbour's insurers and his. At all.

That is wholly down to his insurers to sort out.
