My dad is away this week so ive been house sitting...
Driven into and out of his drive hundreds of times...but tonight... I obviously had a thick moment...totally misjudged the corner...and this was the end result...

I hear this huge bang and thought id knocked the wing mirror off... so got out nope nothing...wing ok..drivers door ok... then got to the back and the side skirt was hanging off... I know its not smashed up or anything... but its a total pain in the arse and something I could really do without. That will teach me to think of getting rid of it... dented the wheel arch as well!! damn and bugger and arse!!

my sympathies geezer
dont look like it would be too hard to sort out tho

Post Wed Mar 23, 2005 9:24 am

Ouch sorry to see that mate - hopefully it won't cost too much to sort, can you turn it into a positive by getting anything else done at the same time so that you had been putting off ?

Post Wed Mar 23, 2005 9:48 am

Yeah could do I guess... there is a a strange bit of paint under the boot lid I could have done at the same time... other than that not alot else really...

Can't really sit about winging about it.. The guy Ill go and see is very good he did some work on my golf and my 306.. Ill pop down the weekend and see how much Ãƒ”šÃ‚£$Ãƒ”šÃ‚£$Ãƒ”šÃ‚£ we're talking. Luckily I get paid tomorrow Phew !

Ouch, think we've all done that at some stage, nasty prang. Just be thankful you weren't driving an M3, imagine those arches being redone!

Should cost too much, it'll be rite in the end.
