Well great news! as it’s my birthday today I went for a drive to get some shopping, nice T-Bone steaks and cream cakes 🙂
However, on the way home a nice man in a transit swerved out of oncoming traffic, then jumped out of the van leaving speeding along still in gear. No way of avoiding it, chap in front of me had stopped, couldn’t swing left as there’s a metal guard rail along the side of the road so just sat there and watched as it plowed straight into me 🙁
Luckily not too badly hurt, fire brigade had to prise open the door to get me out, I was in hospital for about 4-1/2 hours as I had Atrial Fibrillation!, luckily it settled down and I was let out at tea time.
The Yeti is a write off, I only extended the lease yesterday!, and I just filled it up on the way home!!.
Obviously it could have been a lot worse, I’ve still got everything, it all works (albeit rather slowly and painfully!)
I rang Skoda driver line when I got home and they are going to sort it all out (as I’m still in my original lease period until June 27th). They’re liaising with my insurance company and have given me contact details of a company to provide a replacement car.
Other than that not a bad birthday, I’m still alive and kicking!
Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!

Nothing Motability can do, they rang JCT600 who are as much in the dark as everyone else is who’s waiting for information from VW. It’s still looking like August at the earliest, I emailed Lookers VW and they replied with a very informative email about visiting their showrooms, test drives, trade-ins and servicing etc. but nothing at all to answer what I actually asked them about Tiguan availability.
As JS said Motability can take new orders from July 1st but as to what’s available I have no idea. Being the height I am and with mobility issues I’m very limited to something I can get/fit into comfortably. I have no idea when the loan car will be taken back but I’d guess it will be before I can sort out another car.
Lot’s more ringing around tomorrow I think!

Well, I’ve had a call from Lookers VW in Newcastle, they’ve found an un-allocated Tiguan R-Line currently shipping to one of their dealerships down South. Same spec as the one I want but in Tungsten Silver. Obviously no £600 AP discount like JCT600 were offering but I can have it early/mid July!.
Things may be picking up!

Newcastle VW is where I’m getting my Tiguan they knocked off £100 but I still have a nagging doubt about getting one
