how can he pay when he drove straight off?
OK so here is what happened.
Just come off the roundabout at Aylsham and was coming down the road towards cromer. About a mile down there is a cross roads. The two cars infront are turning off so slowed down to alloy them time to turn of, they get to the point where i can safely get past so i start accelerating again. But the car coming out of the junction did not look and decided to pull out.
At this point my options were :
1: Slam on brakes, slide into the rear quarter panel of the car.
2: Swerve to the left and hit the cars waiting to come out of the Junction.
3: Swerve into the right hand lane, no cars oncoming (luckily) and aim for the grass verge.
So i go for the later as it seems the safest. Unfortunatly i didnt bet on there being a kurb there. Which there was.
I hit it at around 45 - 50. At this poiny in thinking "Sh*t tom keep it up right and keep Kate (the girlfriend) alive."
So i am now sliding across the grass verge, a quite steep ditch to the left, road work signs in the middle and the road to my left. Luckily something came over me which caused me to keep the car pointing in right direction.
Got the car back on the road and realised the engine is still running so try to drive to a safe stopping place. But i notice that something does not sound healthy at all. So i pulled over on the grass verge to the left. Kate gets out first and says "it's ok there is no damage". i then get out and look at my side. My reply was along the lines of "this side is screwed". She thought that we had been T-Boned by the car.
My first reaction is to break into tears, which i half did. Then thought about the other car, so ran back down to the junction where it happened. Not a sight of the car at all. No one parked up as far as the eye can see (apart from mine).
So thats the deal of what happened.
Damage wise, two knackered alloys. I think that is all, at the moment that is all i can see. So i am now looking for new alloys.
These are two which i like, what do you guys think ?

Yer, i literally broke down when my parents got there, just the other day i was saying to Kate how i have had this car 6 months and not kurbed the alloys.
When my dad got there though he said if i need any cash they can sort it out so hopefully going up Norwich tomorrow and getting a nice new set.
Think it will be a case of they pay now then i pay them back.
