Its back..

Post by j2 lot » Wed May 30, 2007 12:34 pm

After nearly six months I got my car back on Monday following accident damage on Dec 20th.
I had forgotten how good it is to drive, and after driving old Landies and 1.0 litre hire/ courtesy cars - how quick :!: :D :D

Have to say JM have (eventually) done a good job - although was beginning to despair after twice returning home in courtesy car when repair was not up to standard.
Thanks to Graeme and Bill at MMC for chasing things for me in the last week or so when I was loosing hope of ever getting it sorted.

Now looking forward to a bit of good weather to get out there and enjoy.

Next task is to chase insurance bandits to get some money back !!

.. it gets better !! Third parties insurers have apparently agreed to send cheque - threat of court action looks to have done the trick :D
Woo hoo - car back and money in pocket :!:
