driving down my high street, they've put in a speedbump, but there were no markins on it whatsoever, top and tail of it all is that i've ****ed the sump, i'll get a picture of the piece of metal that came off the car

Chris, that sucks bigtime :cry: screw the council for the repair,did you get pics of said bump etc? so they can't get down there and paint it quicktime and deny all knowledge,sneaky buggers that councils are! Hope you get it sorted with minimal fuss.......... something always happens when you've either a) got a full tank of motion potion,written a couple of cars off just after fill ups or B) when you've spent ages cleaning the buggers :(

i went down this evening with the camera, have many pics, i need help on this matter though, i dont know how to go about this

i'm just in shock, it's not a write off (unless something more sinister has happened :cry: ) but it's still such a throw-back because i got her back MONDAY ffs [:@]

Mate I'm strugglin to see it and I've been staring at it for some time.
I can see it
but Its not easy to see, It should be marked. You can sue the council for that.
Do you have any friends in the legal profession? maybe someone on here might be.

I hope for your sake they are.

omg thay is a piss take, ring the council first thing and let them know, they should get a representive out and check the bump and damage to your car, i live in croydon and my pal f*kd his alloys badly on some potholes, rang the council and they paid for a full refurb or a new set. he took the new set!

the car is now at my house, would they still come out? i'm going to ring them tomorow morning and get on this straight away

i looked like a wierdo, but i measured the speedbump and it's 140mm, no paint on it at all

cheers for the the replies though guys, it's reassuring
