On the way home today some bloke swerves to avoid a car pulling out. Only
I'm in the right hand lane and he hits the back quarter of the volvo. No
real speed or anything, back door pushed in a bit and paint scraped on the
door and rear wheel arch.

Get home, rings the insurers ( Swinton through MMA Insurance). Give them
the details. Anyway, Volvo is 10 years 6 months old. "Oh, its over 10
years old sir" We write those off!

its probably £500 worth of work. to make mint again.

so I'm left trying to negotiate a buy back but it will be cat D....

Grrrrr
