If it was just some daily ****box as you said then yes you can handle it being written off. Also if through his own stupidity he wrote it off then yeah he would just have to live with it.
Driving a car that you clearly love and is not just some means of getting from A to B is another kettle of fish altogether and maybe yes if you love it that much then maybe you should have comprehensive but for some people it's just not feasible.
What I'm basically getting at is maybe instead of posting sommething slightly negative and antagonistic in your post. Maybe be a bit more supportive and sympathetic to Mickey's situation. I know it you're just being a "realist", but it doesn't change or help the situation in any way.

(I know I said I wasn't going to keep reading this thread but yeah...)
Edit: Sorry didn't see your post above Mickey. Took me a while before I submitted this one...
Thanks for that mate, I appreciate it.

What a great idea! I mean of course I'm piling up the evidence and arguments with reasons to suggest the car is worth more likely DOUBLE what they think it's worth, but showing hard evidence of sales from people I can get in touch with is just so much better.
I'm MORE than happy to get in touch with some VR6 owners/sellers on here if they want to give me some hard evidence to show the market value! If anyone is willing please shoot me a PM or something.

Thorn all the way mate, lol. Can anyone actually confirm this? If so I'll strip my car back to stock and throw it at them asking for a new one
