Not too sure, can't remember where now, been weeks since I sent him anything. I'm pretty sure it's far up north though.

Well, went to the pub to drown my sorrows, the neck is fair throbbing now 
I need to get bits removed for the fact if not, they are going to get stolen where the car is atm. Its in a "Secure" compound, but bits will disapear. Bascially I need to steal bits off my own car tomorrow, theres now way Im putting a month old exhaust to scrap, and scrap a 16v engine worth £300.

I never even got the chance to fit my spax shocks 
Got the front + rears, 40mm springs and the adjuster for the shocks.

Im trying to stay positive about it, its only a car after all, but all the hard work and money I put into it that im never going to get back sickens me 
Once the claim is all sorted, down to vauxhall, Mk5 Astra Sri CDTI methinks. 150bhp version at that.

had a similiar feeling with my accident...just know from the moment he hit u that u was gonna get peanuts...you think ure necks sore, wait till the morning...i woke up with neck, back and shoulders aching like id just bin kicked in by a feel lads, back still plays up today 11 months down the line, took me 3/4 months to buy another car, then ive had nothing but trouble with the vts ive had a fault every week.
On the plus side mate, cud have been ALOT worse...106 versus a landrover tends to be more than just a death of a car. As said above 106 gti nana yellow! put a smile on ure face. On and as u said above strip the f00ker bare, i did the same the day after, which was abit painfull! Good luck mate

Surely you'd get a payout (OK may be small) then buy it back?
Often with cars that old they just accept £50 for the tow back you your house/unit etc

Ive asked to buy it back, but according to the insurance I cant, its going straight to salvage?
Anyways, heres what I ripped off it today:






Thought this was a focus when I first saw it, but its a mondeo 

And my 205 wheels, never got to fit them

205 wheels? 15"s, offset is 28 or something, perfect for peugeots though.
