my poor car
« on: July 03, 2006, 18:51:08 »
Well my poor car is looking a bit sorry for its self, on friday night i popped home to pick up what could prove to be the most expensive camping chair in the world! I pulled up on my drive and went inside when i heard shouting, i ran out side just in time to see my landie smash into my mates van on the other side of the road! the hand brake failed and my motor built up a fair old pace before hiting the van, mine came of worse, the rear quater is smashed, and as such is now undriveable! because the van was a pick up my corner bumpers went strait under it and :cry:  offered no protection :cry:  :cry:  ill try and get some pics up soon, i was so gutted to see it crash all on its own!
regards James

Nightmare!
On the plus side there are plenty of rear tubs out there.
Pop to Billing and see what you can find.
Failing that, I'm off to Billing and i'll be passing your way on the way home.
Is there anything you need me to get and drop off?
