Glad you're both okay though! Hopefully you'll get higher settlement fees from the insurers!
Any figure on your scar? Seeing as it's cut your modelling career short?
We have a separate company dealing with our damages, we were pretty fucked up after it. Not taking the piss, just trying to get back lost earnings etc.....
The biggest blow for me was the van getting written off, owned it for nearly 4 years, sentimental value.

Glad everythings ok, what dualler was it? A90?
I know, if it was evo i would have honestly been inconsolable.
Yeh work van, but also personaluse as it's a family company.
Yeah, I think it's A90, do you know the Cock And Bull at Balmedie? Junction just before that he pulled infront of me, north bound.

Good luck trying to get what its worth and more mate. At the end of the day, you may aswell try get what you can, if it was the other way round, i'm sure you'd have somebody trying to rinse your insurance company. Get some extra, and go on holiday with the mrs..!

I got told by surgeon i could go back to work after 14 days. Left it for 3 weeks, worked half a day, and was in agony. Ended up being off another 2 months.
4 months later, still feeling pain now and again

A scar on your face? I know this might seem a bit insensitive but you must be looking at a huge insurance claim!
I hope you and your partner are coping fine, and hasn't effected you too dramatically. Amazing the strain it can put on a relationship aswell!

Christ that's bad.
Aberdeen is full or terrible drivers, no offence, as I don't mean everyone.
Glad you and your other half are okay, cars can be replaced, and I'm sure whatever you replace it with will be just as cool
