Nice job Tel.....but you need to re-sit your maths exam mate. I'm assuming you failed as try as I might I cant make 40+8+8+7+7 make zero.....or are you actually in pocket with the write off value?:biggrin:

ah. i explain. bought the van for 1500. insurance paid out 2300. therefore, i'm 800 in pocket on top of the purchase price, less whatever i spend.

Nice job, did you have to buy the van back.?

 

[telectrix]

basically. it was £2600 top whack, less the £300 if i kept it. was a no brainer. OK. the sill behing the bumper is a bit squashed, bu ---'s out of sight. a 12 year old van, it's not got to be showroom condition, jus ttidy when i pull upon a job.

You could put one of those nice NICEIC stickers over the repair, and no one would see it.

Most thieving toe rags can't read, and do little thinking.
