oops. had a little run in with a tree, new front valance, front right wing and bumper, luckly no structural damage, bloody muddy fen roads in cold weather, ive never liked that corner. offically if i took it to the insurance it would b a right off, but i got friends in the car trade so i should only b about 300 quid, still thats a months wages for me.

I hit a rather large kerb once. Wrecked two wheels big style. Wasn't my fault though, I was asleep :lol:

I hit the back of a trailer once, being towed by a farm forklift, in a landrover. Wouldnt have been so bad if it wasnt for the fact that it was in a 140 acre field and there was only me and the forklift in there. :oops:

It was in a blizzard though and I was leaning out of the window looking backwards, which of course makes it all quite acceptable.

What can we say Mr DCGrater if you are going to do it, do it properly and with as much style as possible!

Sorry to hear this sheepy hope it works out not to expensive 4 ya.

PS did you still need a sound card?

Just took Neutron out in Suffolk for the day (work gentlemen, not a date) and nearly had a couple of similar situations.

It's his fault - If only he'd stop wittering on about Java Scripting and how I'm not even worthy to make his coffee in the morning.....

sheepy · January 14, 2003, 08:33:53 PM

nutron maybe, not shure at the moment

No prblem Chimpboy....just ask Greg about his little "foot slipped off the clutch" incident!!......that should put paid to Java scripting for at least five hours!! :lol: :lol:

In NINE years I have had ONE avoidable

And still I get grief.....

I suppose the Famous North Circular Diesel Incident will crop up now (sigh)

Ironically I was hit over Xmas by a bloke who's foot slipped of the clutch causing him to lurch forward and clout my car. Being a decent chap and realising this sort of thing does happen now and then I kept my cool and all was well. For I am good and kind
:angel:

Still sorry to hear about your mishap Sheepy :cry:

Hope it turns out cheaper than you imagine

It won't. It never does, it's the law.

Ah, now then, the "North Circular Diesel Incident!!" .............much blackmail material to the highest bidder!! :twisted: :twisted:

Bad luck Sheepeh. I will let you kill me once

Stryker · January 15, 2003, 10:33:25 AM

I ran into the back of a woman driver who had decided to just stop in the middle of a road just after a junction turning onto it (from where I came from).....

It was acceptable as no car could go from 70 to 0mph within 5 meteres :-)

DogMeat · January 15, 2003, 10:53:37 AM

Gee - Stryker whacking someone from behind. Now that's something you don't see every day...
