new boxers needed, i dont like walls

[hallsie]

well, picked up my tuscan 2 on wednesday, at about 1.30...... this timing is relevant!!!

full tank of petrol, huge grin and loads of enthusiasm, off to enjoy my new baby.

so here goes, you get a new car and everyone wants to see it, especially cos its a beautiful tussy, so of course, off to the pub where all the boys are havin a re-uion and a 'whet the babys head' meet up, and a "wow shes lovely, take us for a spin!!!!"
well true to form, went for a 'spin' and boy do i hate front gardens and walls!
now, i know no one believes me (well none of the boys anyway)when i say ' i was'nt speeding, or being a complete monkey, but i was'nt, i lost the back end on a bit of a bend, and yes, i ended up liberating a front garden wall, moving it a couple of feet closer to the house, less gardeneng in my opinion, not the thoughts of the owner, and re-arranging the very impressionable front valence and wing!!
not funny, although i could have been worse, at least everyone was laughing afterwards (not in a coffin)
its feisty, i now know this, lol.
be careful out there, on the plus side, 6 hours of grin has kinda made up for it and i should get her back within a couple of weeks!
still smiling..........

Stu,
Sorry to hear about your mishap, you know the saying, you are most likely to bump your car in the first and last month of ownership, bricks plastic and steel are easily fixed, skin and bones can take quite a bit longer and are sometimes never mended.

Luckily enough you can at least laugh and joke about it now, even if it tears your wallet apart

Best regards,

James Sim.

Easy done if you don't feed the power in appropriately!

So easily done mate, learnt my lesson on a super bike come off doing about 70 mph down a dual carriageway only had it for 2 weeks. Bike was written off an i was beaten by the tarmac to, thing is these machine`s we drive have such incredible acceleration an can be under estimated on your first couple of drives, havent had mine to long remember picking it up an thinking my god this cars going to eat me. Anyway glad your ok an take time

Glad it wasn't worse and you are ok.

FWIW brand new Goodyear F1s can be a bit interesting until fully cured.
