Depending on the amount of damage in relation to any applicable excess', it sounds to me like you were hit by an ininsured driver who fled the scene
*puts more serious face on*
That's really terrible to hear mate, especially something like that which is unavoidable.
Hope she gets patched up soon.

I hate that when things like that happen, that why I'm scared to park my car under a tree or even out in the street...Hope your car gets fixed soon.

Perhaps if the damage is bad enough look into talking to the city council??

Oh poor Melly!
I feel your pain.............someone sideswiped my car this week and didn't leave a note.
Hope everything works out for you though............your car is HOT!

yeah was thinking all of the above..........
would be good to put a new front end on...
though also noticed theres a crack in the front head light....
spoke to council and they told me to write a letter and get some quotes...so i dont no what the outcome will be.

mind u im still depressed
though does the council have to pay for the damage???

If the tree was on council property then yes they are liable. Unless they spring that "Act of God" crap on you.
But yes it would be a good opportunity for you to get a new front end. And coz you had the back repaired recently, the paint would look like new all round......
