I was involved in my first accident today, in 17 years of driving. Someone pulled out from a junction and t boned me. Was initially really pissed off but the chap was really appologetic and when he saw I had my kids in car he was genuinely worried and upset. No one was hurt thank god, kids weren't even upset.

Thank god for German build quality as his car just bounced off mine. Done a fair bit of panel damage but structurally its fine. His car seemed come off ok thanks to big plastic bumpers. I need new quarter panel, rear door, and passenger door. Mines an Audi A6 so his insurers will be getting a pretty big bill.

Insurance company (elephant) were great, courtesy car and collection already arranged.

Anyway, cool stary bra and all that, thought I would share my misfortune.
