General RIP My Grande Punto - Total Wreck Out

I don't know, i'd like to. But i'm not loosing that amount of money again.

All in all, am very gutted. :(

Because i'll have a summer of no car, i'm not driving anything other than something decent after that accident.
 
You haven't lost a thing GAP cover will cover it you were wise to take the GAP cover. Im pretty sure you could have haggled a bit more out of them.

Is it a T-Jet and do you know where its going? :chin:. I could make him live on by his engine powering my car :D

It was a 1.4 16V not t-jet.

I don't know where his carcus is going. :(
 
Is it not more power? I wish I didnt have to carry the extra 500kg around. Damn slow.

Whats yours you reckon? 9.5?

Well what you waiting for! Find a T-jet, let me know. I'll crash into them, you get the engine and I get new car :)

Thats like 3 seconds quicker than mine. My 1.2 16v was faster than the snail I have now. Not many old 1.4 16v's though is there?

I want to dedicate this thread to Percy the Grande Punto Sporting.

He tragicly passed away on Saturday the 28th June 2008, in his last seconds he saved my life possibly. He selflessly scarficed himself in order for me to walk away with a burnt/cut arm.

I actually loved my Percy, he made me so happy and I treasured him so much. I'll always remember him in his normal nice shape.

Thank you Percy, and goodbye...

(P.S The insurance are paying £5,905 which made me break down and cry, because I still owe £7,800ish on the Finance so will have to GAP insurance the rest)

Percy

September 2006 - June 2008 tragicly left us at just short of two years old.

Sorry to hear he's been written off. That's a pretty stingy offer from the insurance company. Did you mention to them how much you owe on the finance? Wouldve thought £6200 at least for a payout on that.

Which insurance co was it? Just so i know not to go with them in future!:(

well, your GAP insurance should cover it hopefully, so it should be cleared debt!! the only thing that would maybe stop me, would be the insurance renewal!!:yuck:
 
Very sorry. I did the same once, although my little Daihatsu was repairable. The car in front was unscathed. Rain: me tired: car in front already driven into car in front of her - hence dead stop! Me also gutted.

Still alive though. Chin up. XX
 
I have a new Grande Punto...

It's in sexy red, and 1.9 Disiel... Percy MK2!
