thanks.



Please reassure us that you have comprehensive insurance :-(

no i don't have comprehnesive insurance.i don't have any insurance at all. please tell me how adly am i screwed. what can i do to help myself. what info can i give you ppl.

How about you f*ck off back to a Merkin group where you belong.

I don't see why we should be bothered to help someone who drives without insurance. You actually should be locked up. If your car won't go then I am truly grateful.

The message from "Mark Hewitt" contains these words:

Got to be. Only teenagers write in that stupid txtspk way and I don't reckon many teenagers have a car like that.

Anyway - who cares, he's clearly a gimboid.

what the hgell is with you ppl. suppose i don't live either the us or uk. what if i don't have insurance. clearly you can give a better answer than a 'he's a troll'. can't you guys give a technical answer over what i should do. anything i can do myself.

Other than the fact it's a criminal offence. In the UK at least, and remember this is a UK group.

No insurance? It's a pity you didn't drown.

This is a warning from God that you should not drive anymore.

"what if i don't have insurance" Maybe that means no comprehensive cover which is not an offence

From OP "no i don't have comprehnesive insurance.i don't have any insurance at all"

The message from snipped-for-privacy@gmail.com contains these words:

If you're clever enough to drive without insurance you're clever enough to work out what's wrong and how to fix it.

Or are you not terribly clever at all?

Looks like a good car in working order can't see anything wrong with it.

Not that, that will help. I'm sure it's an negligent act to drive though a flood. It's one thing to park your car and a flood happens while you are elsewhere, it's a totally different matter if you insist on driving into it.

I do hope you borrowed this car.

The message from Peter Hill contains these words:

And that the person from whom he borrowed it has a nasrty temper?

The last person I know who did that needed a new car.

I remember looking at the large lake under the bridge on my way home one day, with several broken down cars either side.

I politley asked the RAC man there, attending to someone else, if he'd fish me out if I got stuck - reply showed he probably wasn't 'a very nice man' at all

Got through OK - only worry was half way over when I started to loose grip because it was trying to float! Rev it like crazy and slip the clutch!

Fully comp insurance does cover flood damage, even if you drive into it.
