What happens when your neightbours handbrake fails (Volvo 440) on a sloped shared drive 




his car 'mounted' the front bumper and pushed it down the drive (over blocks encase of handbrake failure) with rear wheels locked, into my garage door!
He's not evolving insurance, and will pay for a new garage door (and the very minor damage to the car!)

Ooops! I had something similar happen to my door.
We had friends down to stay & one of their boys (11) managed to get hold of our car keys- which were in a drawer, got in our Toyota- which was in reverse luckily & then proceed to start the car.
It took the garage door clean off which then landed on my Scimitar GT/E & backed the Toyota into the Scimitar.
Thank God it wasn't in 1st or 2nd because the neighbours opposite would have had a Corolla shaped coffee table in their front room
Garage doors are very expensive.
I managed to find a 6 month old door for £80 delivered- was taken off a double garage as a pair by insurers as the other was was stoved in.
