Default Someone crashed into my A8

As the title goes, last week I'm in the house when a neighbour knocks to tell us that someone's crashed into the car, my wife shouts to tell me and I say " I hope it's yours" I was wrong....

The lady had parked up on the hill near us to drop her child at school, the car decided to come down the hill, it hit my wife's Tiguan first then continued to the A8

Thankfully the Tiguan took the main brunt of the force (expecially as it's a company car so little skin off our noses) but the front bumper on the A8 has been pushed back on the near side, I'll upload pics when I get my lap top back (it's getting fixed BTW, it hasn't been seized!)

The damage looks quite minimal but as the bumper is out of allignment I'm guessing there's some damage to the mount.

Obviously the "other party" accepts full liability & her insurer promises me a courtesy car "like for like". They call to say it's being dropped off & I check that I'll be covered for business use as I need to run about during the day. They come back to say no, it'll be for commuting only. I point out this is no use to me then enquire on the car they're sending me.

A Vauxhall Corsa

So I obviously refuse & point out that I could quite easily contact "It wasn't my fault so I'm going to have your eyes out .com" 2 minutes later & I'm told the car will be a BMW 320 with full business insurance, there now, that wasn't hard was it?

I'm still waiting to find out how long it's going to take to get sorted, the BM is nice but it's no A8.
