 Not good mate, hope the bastard gets the book thrown at him.
Is there definitely no chance of repairing the bus?

Is that a Tiguan? Was expecting a Holden or something similar. Kinda sad to see a Vw crash into another Vw 
Hope you get it sorted and back on the road.

Yeah - VW to VW
Tiguan is only about a year old.
Too much for my son (or me) to repair
Motor is fine - gear box is gone
The whole front driver area is shot. Popped the wind screen.
Good for parts - that is about it.
Bloody brand new south african dual head light grille as well

i dont think insurance is the point you still have to put the claim in and it will cost you no matter what

Third Party Property only
Since it is a stolen car I can claim against that.
I will just have to argue the toss over what it is worth
It was an auto. It was in park when it got hit
Reverse seems OK but nothing happens with forward gears
Hopefully my son can get a couple of grand insurance and possession of the car.
Too many good bits to see it trashed at Sims or something
Had only just put new rubber on the wheels as well
On mag has been smashed into the gutter and ground against the curb for 20m.
Luckily I have a spare wheel. They are 17" Fuch copies.
At least the wind screen has just come out in one piece

Hi Baz
Bad luck, I just looked into 3rd party with my sons Skyline, just about the same price as comprehensive.
The T3 held up pretty well in the end.

Unfortunately you will probably only get a market value if anything. Maybe about $2k.
If you get anything at all out of the bogan. He probably doesn't own anything or have a job.
Third party insurance should be compulsary, even if the driver is pissed the insurance company should have to pay up.
I read it on samba, so it must be correct.

Just don't let the insurance company take the car until you have reached an agreement. Once it's gone, so is the bargaining.

Seems like insurance is changing their mind and I can't claim on their insurance. There "may" be able chance I can do a UMD claim on my 3rd party.
Says on my policy I can claim up to $5k for an update insured driver
Anyone had experience with this?

Because the owner of the insurance did not give permission to the driver to take the car.
Because the driver was pissed.
Does the driver have a job or anything of value? Although the Tiquan's insurance company will have first bite of the cherry.

The gimp that was driving is an oxygen thief
NRMA is now changing their story
Why would they have given me the claim number if I wasn't allowed to claim.
Oh sorry sir - that was a mistake. They were not allowed to do that
I'm not pissed off….… yet
But I think I am going to be.

Put the claim in anyway.
Maybe you can bluff your way through it.
The NRMA gimp is probably an oxygen thief also.
I've had trouble before. Don't give up!
Be careful of assault.

Or just remove them until he pays up.
I'd like to know how he stole the VW?????????
You can't just hotwire them.
Maybe you should speak to the Police as there may be something dodgy here.
