Just got a bill for £100 for council worker call out to a lamppost I knocked down.

Any ideas as to the cost and installation of these beauties?

I know it was just the sweep up job. Just wondered what the main bill was likely to be.

Never got one for my last crash.

Yep this was 'that' off. Unfortunately the car was a total loss.

First piece of road furniture was a three legged junction sign, set that one on fire as well though.

The lamp post is a biggy, dual carriageway style. Took it out of the ground (all 6ft that was below the ground! ) Then dragged it 10-12ft up the road. It was stuck in the car when they tried to put the car on the low loader.... Would have hidfden it but was a little large for that.

Slippery, Icy road that had just been gritted, cold tyres etc etc.

Was straightlining though the roundabout and there was a couple of depressions that unweighted the rear of the car. Slid up the road about 50m and luckily the lamppost stopped me the car and my passenger heading off the cliff edge! phew... First date with my current girlfriend and she's still with me now! lol

Shame was a really nice car.

Saw your Griff julian, rammed from behind wasn't it? Looked like a lot of damage. Real shame, is she back on the road?
