I seems that this morning, some git uprooted one of my brick gateposts, smashed my rear light lens and then put the gatepost back.

I'm surprised I didn't run him over, because I was reversing near (but not too near) the gatepost when he did it!

I'll get the bd next time!

Erm... Are you sure you didn't.... ah no, you're male.

Reminds me of the time someone moved my house forward a foot and I reversed in to it.

I suspect he was a shortarse.

As usual it'll be you that has to pay for the damage, police won't be interested. They're too busy trying for easy targets. Only the other day there was a cop at the side of the road, he was pointing a fricking laser gun at me. I mean come one, that could blind me.

Reminds me of a phone call from my missus...

Missus: Hi, I've just reversed into the garage.

Me: Err, well done.

Missus: No, I mean I have ACTUALLY reversed into the garage. I've broken the bumper... and the garage...

Just arranged to get a new offside rear light for the jeep after the wife noticed if was smashed.

Not short-arsed gatepost-wielding manicas to blame though. Genuinely have no clue how it happened but noone left a note frown

Reminds me of a great story.

My friend went to look at a Lotus Elise for sale. It was parked on the seller's drive in front of his open garage.

It wouldn't start properly, the battery was iffy, so the seller called out the RAC. Eventually, the RAC bloke turned up, diagnosed a dead battery, and replaced it for him.

When he'd finished, the seller reached in through the open window of the car and turned the key.

Sadly, the Elise was in gear.

My friend, the seller and the incredulous RAC man all stood and watched the Elise fire up, drive itself into the garage and partially through the back wall.

My friend left, he decided that it wasn't the right car for him - a little too much wear and tear on the front and roof of the car hehe

Gotta feel for the poor chap selling eh!
