Well, I say crash - I parked up and a bus reversed into me.

Saeed took 45 mins to turn up, then the pakistani driver was really worried so got all his mates to turn up and pretend to be 'witnesses' that somehow it was my fault etc etc.

Luckily the Saeed believed me, thankfully the racism here works in your favour!

Not major damage - just new bonnet and scuffs.

Certainly an eye opening experience, but not surprising. Took 1.5hrs in the end, standing around outside my apartment - wasn't best pleased, but luckily I had one last cold beer in the fridge when I got in!

Yeah fine, gave the paperwork to the guys at work and they're sorting it. Be interesting to see what stbox I end up with as a courtesy car.

This has got Yaris written all over it.
Just make sure you bounce it off the limiter in EVERY gear!

A top spec Corolla it seems - although this equates to a bottom spec anything else. I'm not sure there's a direct connection between the steering and wheels, there's zero feedback - and the fake wood interior is stunning.
