Apparently a BMW came speeding round the bend just after midnight and went directly into the back of our car with so much force our car moved forward 10-15ft and came off the road onto the grass verge, damaging the car in front. Luckily one of the neighbours was out driving and saw a BMW just up the road, veering all over the place with its front all caved in, noted down the reg and called the police. Only had the car a year as well after the previous one was written off by someone rear-ending us at a roundabout. What a fabulous morning treat!

Proper shame, looked very decent nick for a car that age too
🙁 better luck next year OP.
Sorry, mate. You do get a bunch of animals on the road, sometimes.
Hope you find that BMW driver and they throw the book at them.
Not quite how the Soprano’s theme tune goes.
Oh no! Same thing happened to my dad’s van a few years back, someone smashed into the back and left.
The “fabulous morning treat” got meee 🤣🤣
I am really sorry though in all seriousness, and so glad the neighbour caught the reg number, v fortunate ✨
Don’t worry , it’s just a flesh wound .
Don’t forget to take the coconuts with you before you go to work .
On the plus side. You and/or your family wasn’t in it at the time
Poor zafira! I’m so sorry!
If there are any large parts of the other car then /r/whatisthiscar will probably be able to tell you.
Had my car written off by the other driver in December. Bought a new car in early February, police van wrote off my second car on Feb 28th. Driving the car less than a month. Going through legal proceedings for both. First driver admitted fault at scene. Second one tried to blame me but it’s on cctv. She admitted fault under interview last week. But it’s taken over 4 months for police to even interview her because she’s police. Police insurance are laying all liability on me despite the road traffic police saying I was not at fault and the officer is so my solicitors are now suing. I was also injured and have some PTSD. They expect my injury to heal in 6 months and the value of the claim for the injury is only £500, and no help with flashbacks while driving
T-Cut and ducktape. You’ll never know the difference.
If it’s any consolation it looks like you live on a lovely street!
I’d be asking if those houses have any potential cctv footage.
BMW you say? Blimey who’d have thought
Shit wakeup, on a plus side beautiful thatched roofs behind.
Sorry to hear about this, fortunately no one was in your car at the time of the incident.
Look on the upside. At least you weren’t getting the shopping out of the boot at the time.
Hope your insurance aren’t complete cunts
And I always thought the lyrics were “Looked at your picture just to get me started. “
Learn something new everyday
It’s not too bad, You can straighten it out with a hammer.
did it damage the VW in front? obv yours is worse off, but the one in front looks like quite a new and expensive car.
It’s alright it’s a Vauxhall
First question……
Does your wife drive?
Second question……..
Does the neighbour who witnessed this have a fuck off dent in the front of their car 🤔
Damn hit so hard the letters fell off your number plate….
Tbf, atleast you don’t have to drive a zafira anymore.
(jokes aside I hope you agreed a decent valuation with your insurance cos that’s in better nick than most)
I had a similar situation where a drunk diver smashed in to my parked car. His drunk girlfriend was passanger and cried to the police about how he ran away from the scene because he was drunk. He then claimed the car was stolen and he wasn’t driving, his insurance was happy with that and paid me out.
