My misses and her expensive trip to the cash point
Saturday afternoon she pops to the cashpoint and hits the wall at the bank carpark!
Will find out on Wednesday what its gonna cost!
Thanks the lord for insurance eh.
Deffo needs a new door, might need a new quarter as its been pushed in enough to allow the wall to scrape the wheel, which needs a refurb too.

That could be a bit light when everything is added up.
Did she leave a paint scrape on the wall of the banks carpark? If so they might come knocking for the cost of 'repair' to their wall.

LOL
Plenty paint on the wall, but no damage and I have taken a photo of that too.
I bet the £500 excess will be easy to swallow when she finds out the total cost.

Oh she realised but had no option but to carry on, she was beached on it you could say, moving either forward or backward would have made a meess so
decided to carry on and save the front wing - the cheapest bit to replace!

Looks cosmetic to me, so I'd probably not bother (but then I don't have such upmarket transport).
If the car still goes, as it obviously does, why do you (and others) feel the need to repair the visual imperfections. I am curious, having seen the
mayhem yesterday that resulted when someone accidently knocked a shopping trolley into a parked FreeLander.

aluminium body on an expensive car and the fact that the 'visual imperfection' will probably halve the resale.
If it wont affect next years premium too much I'd b fixing it too!

Surely that wanted some left hand down and reverse?

I think she just wants a new car, probably a smaller and easier to drive one too. My missy refuses to drive my Bluebird as she says it feels too big!?
Ditch the beamer and buy her a fiesta or corsa.

anything would have been better than simply driving forward more, its only a car and it could have been moved/slid sideways away from the wall so it
wasn't further damaged. She'd better be careful exactly what she tells the insurance company as they might view it as needless extra
damage and cause a fuss.
