Big, Black ... and invisible?!

[Thrasher]

Well....apparently it is. I'm not quite sure how the girl in the Peugot missed me....queuing in traffic in front of her. We had Helloween on at "earsplitting" so didn't even hear/feel her hit us.

Got a  bit suspicious at the sheepish waves from behind, then she pulled alongside and apologised again....her bonnet was a novel shape. I popped out to assess the damage to Bagheera....


and....


I *think* she might have scuffed the tow ball plastic cover ;-)

Will have a proper look later today.

Tow bars.......ideal for rear protection (within reason) :D .

Nice one.
Not only can't black be seen but neither can my BT grey Defender 110 station wagon.

I had a Mitish thing overtake me in a coned section of dual carraigeway.
Yes he waited until the cones started then overtook.
New front wing and bumper required.

If its just the tow bar cover that is scratched, talk to me at Billing.
A mate of mine is a quality car painter and he'd paint it for 'a drink'
Let me know
PS, glad it was'nt to hard....Claims Direct?

Reminds me of some years back, (don't ask how far), when I went with a mate who drove a low-loader.  Now this thing was a Mack, painted red, yellow and I think white. We'd gone to pick up a Hi Mac from a golf course. Driving down the single track road from the club house, which ran through the course, we saw coming towards us a Morris 1000 estate. We couldn't pull off the road so stopped. The Moggie thou kept coming, and coming, and coming till, yes he ran into us. Fortunately he was going quite slowly, but when he said he hadn't SEEN us, well!!! :roll:

Was the Mack from  Ruttle Plant Hire?

See Thasher, we told you never to drive with the Cloaking Device switched on, it only leads to trouble.

Good point, forget the towball, what about your bad back and constant neck pain since the accident  :lol:

[Evilgoat]

When I ran my business we had tow WV LT31's, the biggest van WV has ever made. 5 Cylinder endgine, built like a tank and I thought indestructable.

Sent one of my staff out to do a pick-up and got a call half an hour later :

'There's been an accident with the van'
'What happened'
'I Hit a bus'

He backended perfectly sqarely a Solent blueline Bus that was stopped at about 20MPH. These were birght blue and yellow striped thngs.

Best bit was the width ofthe LT31 is the same width as the engine bay of the bus, actually wrote the buss off as it destryed the engine and tranny, pushed it into the passenger compartment.

Thankfully no-one hurt.

[Range Rover Blues]

I have the same problem, Blue, (the spanish inquisition) is invisible, hence 'no-one expects........'

I had someone run into that about 3 years ago, still trying to sort out the claim as they snapped the tow bar and hurt my neck.  Should have seen the other car though :roll:

Anyway, Blue now sports a nice Southdown.  Next car that rear-ends me will be saying 'Hi' to the diff.

some one reversed into my door mirror on the disco today
he was driving a transit
i shouted at him and he drove forward so i went to check for damage and he nearly ran me over as he reversed again so i told him he hit my mirror and he got out and denied it but i pointed out that i had a witness and that he nearly ran me over aswell and his attitude changed
lucky no damage to my disco but disco are a bit on the big side think he would have seen it
