I hope I never end up in that situation, my hair would fall out!
I guess that 99% of the vehicles on the roads these days are just that, vehicles. No emotional attachment, or sentiment involved. Most wouldn't care, and probably want their own vehicle written off with the hope they'd get another one. (plus a hire vehicle that's often better than the one they owned themselves)
It's only the small percentage of certain vehicles, including VW Transporters that have this attachment, and the thought of someone else taking responsibility for our pride and joy is a total headache, so I can see and understand your vigilance when doing your checking.
I just hope it gets fixed, and handed back to you in a satisfactory condition, and you don't have any unforeseen issues afterwards.

Brilliant.
Although I'm not sure what's worse, the hair loss or the fact you are a passenger and now banned from destroying any more vehicles.

Ahh. That's your surname. I thought your name was Dell and you had a tendency to exaggerate.
That's got to be up there with cool surnames. I had a mate who's is Conquest, and I though his was uber cool. Along with my own obviously.

Lol @Tourershine but @Dellmassive that would destroy me! I hope when it’s all said and done your happy with the results!
@Dellmassive Being as the word Vivaro keeps popping up in another thread, it reminded me that you had the use of one at the moment, and wondered how you found it?
nearly a month of waiting, during that time your van is in storage, your using a hire van, which I doubt is set up for your business and this when clearly not your fault, complete waste of time on insurance companies part, seems stupid that they couldn't authorise works to start as whoever is paying it still needs doing and getting back to you as quickly as possible.
On a side note I can't hear/read blah blah blah without thinking of the count in hotel Transylvania, hmm need to get out more

Happy to see you've still got a sense of humour mate, after this much messing around in not sure I would have
Lol... love Hotel T more than the kids do ......
Indeed... though one thing..
Where was the blah blah blah bit above ?
First of the updates on this page, 16th Nov half way down
Yay worked out how to copy it
Lol... oh Yeh, and well done btw.
I'm hoping for an update soon Re the van..., hopefully the repairers have been instructed to start the job.
