Well, I wouldn't wish this on anyone...

Got hit at an intersection by a front end loader on Dec 20 (night, snowstorm). No injury to me, but left rear quarter and front end of my van quite damaged. I fear it will be written off. I have appt with ICBC on the 8th Jan, will find out more about recompense then.

Its a pretty shocking event, sudden, violent, and I was very lucky to not be hurt. It does hurt, however, to have your beloved van smacked so hard :)

I have a feeling I will be in the market for a new van, "sweet are the uses for adversity" I keep repeating myself. I'd like to replace the van with a late model syncro westy, it is my dream ride, so if anyone in BC has, or knows of one for sale, drop me a line.

Alistair
