Unhappy you couldnt makeit up!! (part 2)

as some of you may remember i posted a thread about 4 weeks ago showing what a double decker bus did to my car, well..................,i my got my car back on Friday at 4pm from the menders, chuffed to bits to have her back

quite a bit of damage in the end and an odd thing, a garage bloke drove my car to the spray bay and when he shut the drivers door he heard a loud pop, my nearside window had broken on its own

£1600 in the end. i had to pay my own excess as the police havnt found the bus driver yet, (long story).
anyway, as the car was so nice and shiny i decided to go off for a drive in the sunshine. just as i neared my house at 3pm i had to stop behind a Jeep Cherokee that was driving round a bend, it stopped and decided to reverse into my car. all i remember was a load of crunching and saw my bonnet rise into the air. the stupid cow reversed because she couldnt see anywhere to park. she said all she saw was a silver car....there was no car behind me

she also had parking sencors fitted but they didnt make a noise until she had swallowed my car.
i didnt even manage to have my car back 24 hours and now look at it




as you can see the bus damage has been put right

I hope you took photos or had a witness because I bet you a fun size Mars bar her insurance claim will say she was stationary and you hit her.

Perhaps you should paint it a brighter colour so people can see you?

i dont know what it is but everyone that hits me says they didnt see me and there have been a few.

had a good few witnesses as a load of mums were turning up at a kids party so no worries there, thank god.

her bumper slid straight over the top of mine, you cant see the damage in the pics, i cant open the bonnet so i dont know what the damage is yet, the front wing has popped out too

You dont have much luck do you !

On the bright side, you can get rid of that nasty bonnet now and get a proper one with a normal scoop fitted

That really is bad luck SS, just doesn't seem fair. Hope it does not take long to get it repaired. Sorry for all the grief.
