Such a shame to see another VX end up like this, especially in these circumstances where it wasn't the drivers fault, I really hope the person responsible gets what they deserve whether that be from the law or from bad luck/karma.
@ OP - I know if this was me that I'd want the car back and to try and have it brought back to its former glory, it'd break my heart having to let my pride and joy go to the scrapyard. After reading (well, looking at the pictures mainly) the rest of this thread I think the best thing to do would be take the advice and not pursue trying to fix it, just concentrate your energy into fighting your insurers for a decent payout so that you can go and buy another one.
