My first accident whilst in the car

[Bob the Planner]

Life can be a sh!t sometimes.

On Monday I dropped the Chimaera off at Harrogate Horseless to be repaired after a neighbour reversed into it. I had left my screw drivers and socket set in the boot and went over this evening to fetch them as I was going to tinker with the Tuscan this weekend. I decided to come back the scenic route and got a bit lost, but some good roads so who cares. Coming down a hill to a tight left hander I slow and then stop as an articulated lorry appears at the corner. He stops, I try to select reverse and stall :doh: He then comes round the corner before I have the car started and only stops when I shout, the guy behind me flashes his lights. The side of the trailer only just scraped the wing and I now have some nice scuff marks and 4 parallel scratches down to the fibre. I can see why this road has a weight restriction, however I don't think the driver knew it.

2 dings in a month or so, one on each car, neither my fault. Its not a good month for me Anyway no real harm done - I'm OK and I'm sure the paintwork can be fixed.

Off to the pub for a

Bad news Bob, Hope they are both out terrorising the roads again soon.

Take care up there it's a dark and dangerous place you know.

When you are south next give me a bell.

sorry about the bad news Bob.

What made you come up north anyway? Apart from us nice poeple. We love it down south where you were from. Love Dorchester/Weymouth/Studland. Grear roads.

Remind me to stay well out of the way of you on the Holy Island Hoon.

Bad luck Bob - Hope it's an easy fix. Screw the lorry driver for all he's worth.

You should be OK Byff, the cars only have problems when they are stationary. Depending on whether the Chim passes its MoT first time, you will be able to inspect the damage on the Hoon !

Thanks to all for the kind words - I am feeling a bit better this morning !
