Colin the mighty C-Maxerati has been written off by an impatient muppet rushing for the lights and overtaking the queue of traffic. I turned right out of a junction the inevitable happened
On the bight side you should see the mess he made of the side of the Zafira.
138,000 almost trouble-free miles with the only non-service parts being an alternator and a power steering hose! It's even still on the original clutch! Not bad (or possibly because) it's just a poverty spec 1.6 n/a petrol. He even had some pointless upgrades like EBC Greenstuff brakes because they were on offer for only a few quid more than the generic pattern parts!
Probably could be repaired, but I'm not entirely sure it's worth it, breakers all quoted £350-£400 for the bits and whilst thanks to the economy I have plenty of time on my hands, I'm not convinced it's worth it.
Is anyone out there still driving round in a Mk1? Or should I just take the £100 and send him to the great used car dealership in the sky? Does anyone need any bits (apart from a front bumper!) ?
