Well, my insurance is due for renewal in August so I think I'll be asking Swift for a quote (not that I intend to have another accident!). Strangely enough, my wife had someone hit the back of her car in a queue of traffic just the other day - luckily there was no damage - I couldn't stand to lose both BMW's at the same time.
No swift aren't an insurance company they are car accident management company so they just take the hassle away from you and deal with all insurance companies and they have a fleet of all their own cars

I understand - then you have the potential to get the best of both worlds - negotiate a good deal on the insurance but use someone like Swift when it comes to sorting out the aftermath of an acccident.

Mind you, it was twenty years since my last accident so I'm hoping it'll be at least twenty until the next!

Happy Friday!!

After nearly three weeks away I've got her back. Paintwork and panel fit and finish look perfect. Took a little while to having four times more power than the Ford Ka was able to muster but I managed to cope in the end!!

The important stuff has been sorted, i.e. I've got may car back. Now it's a case of seeing whether I get my excess back. My mother-in-law was involved in a disputed accident six+ months ago and the arguments about liability are still dragging on (not helped by the fact that the legal service employed by her insurer are a bunch of numbskulls!).
