Default Poor Scooby is sad & broken!!!

Poor little Scooby may be lots of things but sadly is he NOT a match for a ruddy great 18-wheeler, like the one that ran him over, sniff, sniff!

Exiting a notoriously busy local mini-roundabout, little old lady (in teeny tiny Nissan Micra!) in front of us sees cars parked on both sides of road in front of her & panics when sees car driving towards her from opposite direction & stops dead!
(Despite there still being a gap you could've driven a Hummer through & oncoming car is miles away!) Obviously, we have to stop as well, with Scooby's rear end overhanging roundabout.

Lorry to our left, apparently looks to his right to see if road is clear but sadly neglects to look LEFT or DOWN & just sets off!
Enormous bang & Scooby is now minus most of his left rear quarter!
Bumper ripped apart & completely destroyed (left with piece sticking 18" out sideways, which had to be sawn off!), light cluster smashed to smithereens, wing shredded, a boot that no longer opens & this was from an impact of less than 5mph, (we were stationery!)! Scary thought!

P*ssed off now, really need Scooby as live in middle of nowhere & school run alone is an hour & a half round trip!
Bl**dy lorry drivers! (Especially stupid foreign gits that barely speak any English!)

Hell yeah, have previously written off a car in a REALLY impressive crash! Now that was really depressing, as EVERYTHING was smashed & broken, you name it, it was OBLITERATED!

Just gutted to see SO much damage resulting from what was such a minor shunt! Unbelieveable really!
