Even if I did own it I wouldn't admit it!

This is my car. I went to Brands Hatch last weekend for the Aston Martin Centenary event. Parked up about 11.30 and had a lovely day watching the racing and came back about 6pm to find my car in the fence. I was pretty shocked and gutted to be honest. How the car moved forward I do not know as it was parked pretty much on the flat and the handbrake was on. The slope only really started to any degree after an access road about three foot in front of the car. Thankfully damage is light. There is some cracking around the indicator and headlamp cover and paint scratched off. The car started and drove home fine. I took it to an inspection the following day and there is no mechanical or chassis damage and only a small scratch on the exhaust but again no damage. I have a repair quote and an dealing with the insurance company. The car is drivable and all lights and indicators are working so I will be taking it to my Regional monthly meet today. Too nice a day not to be driving a TVR!

Steve you must have been gutted when you saw it in the fence not usually a problem with ford rear brakes but on some VW you put the hand brake on with warm pads and when the pads cool car rolls away hope it is not too expensive to repair you have the fastest colour in Rosso Pearl
