Victim of S2000 handling!

Zooming out of the garage at 0.25 MPH

Brushed, yes, just brushed a concrete post!! Maybe it moved??
Don't help that I've been negotiating this post for 20 years.



Anyone know a good/reasonably priced bodyshop near Bromley?

Ouch!

If it makes you feel any better, mine was viciously attacked by a wind-blown driveway gate and in trying (and failing) to avoid that it rammed an earth bank!

[Drogo]

Well now, here's a twist!!

Got into car to go home and found a note under the wiper blade?
"Hi, I clipped your car..........phone number......"

Have now spoken to the note writer. She says "I thought I might have clipped your wing mirror, so when I got home I checked my car to find Orange paint on my bumper!
Thank you.
Maybe there are some honest people out there!

That does sound nasty, hope you were OK and managed to claim off owner of gate?

Can't really see how that was caused by the cars handling.

Yes, the owner paid for all the damage!

It was his own silly fault - just fitted brand-new gates which were straight, and therefore didn't 'dig-in' to the ground when open like the last set. He bought a hook-and-eye the next day...

These cars are death traps, glad you are ok

Crikey. That is honest! Don't see it much these days.

Best of luck sorting it. Never seen an S2k that colour before.

Formula 1 Refinishing at Brands Hatch. See yell.com for details

No idea how I haven't seen a bright orange S2K near me in Bromley !

Not aware of anything stupidly close to here, but the bodyshop Crown Honda in Bushey (Watford) use is superb

Someone piled into the side of my S a few weeks back did 500 notes worth of damage and p155ed off. Thanks very much. A week later, someone went down my road and booted all of the wing mirrors on the way past, both my cars were done... again, thanks very much! Ohh to have a driveway and/or garage!
