Car Accident
liam.mccaffrey - 24/3/09 at 02:00 PM

Today a school bus lost control drove over a curb and into a sports centre car park, straight into the wifes car that I slaved over for days preparing for MOT last week.

Will probably be a write off now

Just glad no-one was hurt really though

why does this kind of thing always happen after you have slaved away on a car and not before.....????

Hard luck .... But is that the donor for your next build sorted then....

bad luck m8.

Feel sorry for you and your hard work.

At least the car was repaired for MOT.

If it had happened earlier, they could say that the car was not road worthy and would have given you @@ for compensation.

Donor maybe not, but it had a high mileage 1.6 series k series which I swear has become more powerful over the last 2 years. Its just so fizzy and eager. Its a shame really my wife loved it.

or maybe a 5exi

Definite sign that the motor was larupped and well on it's way to blowing up in a messy fashion - probably saved you the grief

Glad no one was hurt though!
