    pistonheads wants you....

    Yep, put my entry in. Been around Bedford in lots of race cars but would like the Megane very much. The joys of being an oldie.

    Council workers....

    I don't know you but I am proud of you in the fact that you are strong enough to even talk about your loss like this. Well done.

    PX price for mr R27 against a 200

    It was, but that's not a good deal when you take into account that 200 is up for 18K and it doesn't have Recaro's. Looking for something other than black.

    PX price for mr R27 against a 200

    Hylton Renault offered me £10.5 k for my 57 plate 197 with 17k on the clock against a black 200. Bit of a wobble but can't accept 17K against a standard 200 without recaro's.

    Did I mention I lost my car?

    Cheers bud, Yes, work complete and to be fair excellent but they have scratched the roof, looks like they dragged a box off it. I will machine polish it out the weekend. God she's a beauty.

    Our 197's second service

    Good news indeed, I had a bit myself too today.

    Did I mention I lost my car?

    Updated, car returned from thieving basta*** Jesus H Christ. So after more fobbing off by both parties I find out at lunchtime that two "families" were re-issued with their cars as a gesture of goodwill. I absolutely lost it with the administrators who called me back in 10 minutes flat to give...

    Did I mention I lost my car?

    My solicitor advised me to give them a 72 hour deadline for release and then report it stolen. KPMG (Administrators) called me following my threat to call the police. They are claiming that RBS (who own Direct Line) are witholding payment for repair work as they believe that they will have no...

    postal strike

    I don't work for the PO but I agree with protest regarding the conditions you are being subjected too. It's very little to do with money if you take time to study the issue.

    Did I mention I lost my car?

    The V5 shows it's mine but Direct Line have asked me to stay out of it until they sort it on a legal basis. Now at least I am mobile I can get around instead of the damn bus.

    Did I mention I lost my car?

    Tricky situation. Direct Line offer a hire car up to 21 days from the accident. This is now 1 month from the accident so technically they don't have to supply a hire car at all. However, as they have admitted this situation has nothing really to do with the accident they have decided to supply a...

    Did I mention I lost my car?

    At least they gave me a 1.4 Corsa instead of the Daewoo Matiz.

    Did I mention I lost my car?

    Did I mention I lost my car? Update. You might recall me having a bump nearly a month ago? well I still haven't seen her since Direct line arranged collection for the repair. They booked her into a repair centre who went bust a couple of weeks ago and now the car apparantly belongs to the...

    ...and I thought being keyed was bad...

    Which bit, the car or the wife's Punto? :) You would have thought so but Direct Line want to do everything by the book so they have asked me to desist with going there with spare keys and helping myself. It's up to them to sort it, they have until the end of today or they have to get me a...

    ...and I thought being keyed was bad...

    World of hurt, I feel for you. Check that your insurer is booking the car in with a FINANCIALLY STABLE repair centre or like me, your car will be impounded by the administrators of that repairer until further notice. Direct Line are going through some legal debate to retrieve cars (including...
