meekstaaa Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) well i have finally got a new car And the first pics i wanted to show you lot were going to be from the essex meet on sunday. but..... I've pranged it already!!! Here's the story.... Its a wet friday morning, dave (that me) was driving to the shops when the bird in front slammed her brakes on, i didn't notice til too late and then..... http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/10892.jpg I hit her that pushed her forward into the next car and thats that. I admit it was my fault i was too near, live and learn i suppose, the damage on her car isn't too bad and the car infront of that only the number plate light fell out! i pushed it back in on hers and checked her car over and it was all fine. We've swapped details and the car is in for estimations tomorrow first thing I will still be at the essex meet though, you won't stop me that easily! Everyone can come see the battle damage! I look forward to the abuse, sympathy anything you can throw at me.... Dave oh forgot to add i'm gonna try and get a Zetec-s Bumper instead (i'll try to back hand the repairers) EDIT:http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b205/rambodinio/DSCF1845.jpg (picture nicked from rambo) Edited March 30, 2008 by meekstaaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
