Small prang, info needed.

[thainy77]

Hi all,

I was just driving home and had a bit of an incident.

I was stationary as was the car behind me but the car behind that drove pretty hard in to the back of the car following me. This in turn pushed the car behind me in to the back of my car. From the knock i thought there would be some damage but all i can see is where the number plate from the car behind me has rubbed some of the dirt off my car, shameful i know!

So do you think i need to get this checked out? i couldn't see any cracks in the paint or fibreglass but i want to make sure.

TIA.

Definitely get it checked and quick. Assume you have the other guy's details.

when the fibreglass cracks its noticiable, but it could have been pushed in and cracked behind and then relaxed when the car bounced of you.

If you cant see damage outside I doubt it would have damaged it, but if your worried im sure someone could check

I have everyones details plus a pedestrian stopped aswell. The thing is i'm off to Egypt tonight so it will have to wait until i'm back, typical timing!

Where did this happen? I thought i done well with 3400miles trouble free. Apart from the tyre pressure light came on once.

Johnathan,
You realise your car is now worth only two rolls of sheep st when you come to sell it? I'm suprised with some of the other threads on here you even mentioned it..

Haha thanks John!

I actually posted it before the other threads started but i don't intend selling so no problems!

I see you've bought a Tuscan, will be good to see how it compares to your previous T cars when you've tried it out fully.

If you are in the south east or london-ish then pop down to Esser Works and Jason will no doubt be able to help with any bodywork questions or work?

Cheers for that but i've had it checked and it's been given a clean bill of health.
