Had a new seat cover delivered today.

This is the first one I've found that actually fits the seat properly. High quality material as well so should last.

Unfortunately a couple of months ago, one of my boy racer neighbours decided to run into the back of my car

Image

Image

Car was written off by AVIVA as they estimated £13k to repair. They were pretty quick in dealing with my claim and actually paid me out more than I bought the car for.

Pretty gutted but luckily there was nobody in the car at the time.

Original reg is FJ61JVV for reference if it re-surfaces in future.

Ouchy, probably repairable for a lot less - just needs a bottle of Auto Glym and a decent cloth :yahoo:

Glad everyone's OK, hopefully the injuries were limited to the 'boy racer'.
