On way to work this morning some plonker decided that the stionarry traffic was a mirrage , unfortunately my Mondeo was the last car in the line (crash) all the back end is now open plan thankfully my little girl and wife were unhurt, dont people actually look when they are driving, we will now have to see what dammage report is

At least the 3 of you are okay, if shook up

At the end of it, the Mondeo's just metal.

totaly agree with BTM. its only metal. just glad that the 3 of you are ok.  

[hobbit]

From what I've seen the back of modeos are plastic and foam, somewhere behind that there is a rumour of metal :)

It's good that you are all OK, and as for the Mondeo - who cares, his insurance can make it all shiny again  :twisted:

[old joe]

glad you 3 are ok.

Better the metal on the car than on you.

i think this is the reason

people panic when they seen sunshine or spray on the roads, or they see the speed limit signs flashing

they instantly forget commonsense and hit the brakes or look down and check the radio for traffic news

next minute oops

ah well never mind its a company car anyway

not a good attitude is it!

thanks for that we are all fine, and at least it wasnt the landy :lol:

[WishIhadaLandy]

now what u mean about drivers on the road today, had a muppet pull out in front of me today. There all over the place!
Glad your OK.

If it was the landy he went into the back of I bet his car would be alot worse off and the landy would prob have a half inch scratch on it!!!

Get a tow bar on the back of the Mondeo. That will teach anyone else who has a go.

That's what I was thinking.

And I agree with above, at the end of the day a car is a car, it's an inanimate piece of plastic and foam (;)) that can be replaced, your kid cannot.

And look on the brightside, it's got a Mondeo off the road, that's always a good thing  :twisted:

I'm glad you are all ok, that's the main thing.  Must say it's a p***er when you look after you car and some t**t comes along and trashes it.  I'd had the Micra 4 months when some t*t ran into it, it was valued at 4 grand less than I'd paid, had they not had to get me a new car it would have been a wright-off.

When I ring around for insurance quotes, "any accident or convictions?"

"oh yes"

I've had 4 in the last 3 years, none my fault but until they are settled they count against you.

ive got protected value insurance so at least id get same value if they do write it off, it did have a tow bar but he missed it  :twisted:

Echoing the other posts - glad you are okay.

I was so angry this morning, a couple of flakes of the white stuff and the drivers round here (Dudley/Brum) panic - they drive even worse than usual, and that's saying something.

I used to live up by the edge of Dartmoor, and I've lived in Cumbria.  Honestly, I think the chav's round here would die of heart attacks if they had to drive in 'real' snow.    

(Sends silent prayer for lots n lots of the white stuff - it may get rid of a few of the idiots ...  and another prayer to ask that they don't take anybody with them)

Anyway there has to be more than one Jethro Tull fan on the forum (yep, me too)  Watch out or I will start quoting verses too!

if the snow had got any worse here would have to use those HEAVY HORSES to get to work :lol:
