Not a pretty sight
ok
this is not pretty but a CCTV image of my car getting shunted by a Southern water grab lorry and the only reason I didn't put it on the drive they had fitted a meter that day and had left a barrier across the drive
nearly 9k worth of damage rear panel bumper front door
No contest with the insurance claim as you will see
and to add too the insult the insurance company gave me a 2.3 Z4 to run around in @ £250 a day no wonder insurances are high
why the lorry speeds up who knows perhaps he doesn't like alfa's Best to watch in full screen
I posted it on utube as that was the best way to send it to my insurance company

sheesh, he was reversing that bad boy at a hell of a rate wasn't he, backed it straight down the rear quarter. very nasty indeed. At least he stopped and didn't try to run off like the bloody bin men did when the stuck a dent in the door of my Focus ST.

ok then ive been given a Z4 to run around in and surprisingly i have to say the quality of finish on minor deatails like wheel centre caps and door thresholds compared to the brera is well poor
As im having loads of luck and had the windscreen replaced last week before this incident i also have to report that the Autoglass installer said how easy and well made the Brera was certanly in the league of the german cars so how about that then and i did not prompt him

At least they stopped. Write off I guess?

The demeanour in the way the truck driver stopped and got out makes me think it just wasn't a good day for him - the speed looks like a 'wrong pedal' situation - unfortunate for both parties. We do all make mistakes sometimes, I know this must be hard to forgive wonder if he's had to accept a different job now.
Hope it's all sorted out in the end.
