Spent the day arguing with insurance about a courtesy car (which they will not provide as the car is total loss and Nat caused the accident).
The wife later went to doc's due to bad neck pain who said she had whiplash, insurance won't allow her to claim as "they can't claim the cost back from anybody".
Spent the rest of the day looking at cars as she needed one by today for work, We found a little ford fiesta 1.6TDCI

Bloody hell, hope she's OK. Looks a nasty accident. What happened?
A Vauxhall man going for a Ford.... Oh the deceit Haha. In all seriousness it looks a nice example. You should look for the individual seats.

She's ok thanks mate.
The traffic stopped she brakes and slid up the arse of a Honda 4x4 (only damage to the Honda was a slight dent in the bumper).
I didn't want a ford and I'm not overly keen on it TBH but she's happy with it and that's all that matters.
On a plus side she gets a newer car with slightly more power (although I think the 1.4HDI pug was quicker) and save's £10 on TAX only downside is that will be taken up by the higher insurance cost and then some.

It's made a right mess of the Peugeot. As long as the missus is happy that's all that matters... Saves the headache.
The HDI engines are decent engines but so is the TDCI. My Focus was good to be fair.
