  Way to go, glad to see you at least got somewhere near to the correct price, good phone call that.

Glasses price guide valuation was invaluable when some chav wrote off my astra (they drove into it at speed whilst it was parked at the side of the road, police never caught them) The insurance company had under valued it by almost £1000 but i just told them that i had a glasses valuation for my car and I wasn't going to accept less than what the car was insured for, the next day a cheque was on my doormat for £50 less than the cars value.... sorted  well except for having to claim on my own insurance due to the chav scum driving away.

 Sorry to see you car like that, Its a shame as it lookes in mint condition and would have lasted for years. Have you a sound track of the exhaust, only a few sound like the v8 speed boats in Florida at Disney. I am thinking of getting a big speaker and playing it from my wifes car at traffic lights?

 Do not take the first offer from the insurance, the second or third offer was the best a few years ago. takes a lot of time before they give you the money on the third

It looks like the tree wasn't holding a safe following distance and didn't stop in time ... I'd say its the trees fault indeed!

Car was parked.  I (Or my kids or wife) were not with me so could not have been on it.

 

Tree fell over, crossed road, hit my car and was also lying over the pavement.

 

Traffic stopped in Welwyn Garden City for a while....
