A Tree Fell on My Car...

[Marty Funkhouser]

A few hours ago as I was pulling out of a petrol station...walked away without a scratch....if I'd been a foot further forward I'd have been in big trouble...

Sorry.. Glad you came away un-injured. Is it a write off?

[thinfourth2]

recovery guy seemed to think so, the A pillar was slightly kinked and he thought the roof was too....its a snotter so it will cost too much to repair.

Sad thing was I'd paid for a full service 10 minutes beforehand!

The main thing is you are oak-kay!

[jonstable]

Blimey, tree-lly lucky escape, glad you're ok. Seriously though, lucky escape. Now go and buy a lottery ticket for tomorrow night!!

Nasty, that looks a similar size to the one that fell on my car in France, only I was doing about 50 at the time I noticed it falling. I still thank my lucky stars that A pillars are as stronger than oak trees.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the insurance will deffinately write that off.

Maybe look at replacing it. Try branching out to other models.

[AlpineWhite]

Can't we just sympathise with the guy, instead of resorting to that old PH chestnut of tenuous puns?

Leaf it out, boys.

[nabby]

Looks like you was very lucky there.

Luckier than this guy, and his passenger.

Yew might be able to polish that out, and just spruce it up a bit.

Hopefully you won't spend too much time pineing for a new car, second hand Golf's are in short supply as they are very poplar.

Glad you're ok
