Unhappy Didn't realise Conifers could cause so much damage!!
Three point turn on the drive tonight and caught my headlight on a conifer.
It's shattered
Will post a pic tomorrow, before I take it to the garage for repair.
Blasted trees.
Drive looks lovely, car does not

Turning round on the drive. The trees are quite bushy.
I did not expect skimming a couple of branches to smash the headlight, but it did.
Am going to have a look this morning to see if there is a particularly thick branch sticking out. What a flaming nuisance

I am tempted to post some comments about wimmin using their bumpers to park and trees to gauge when they are turning, but I shall refrain

Is this the same driveway that when covered in snow also claimed another victim ??

Are we talking about the same victim that got stuck in an AWD WR1?

Shut ya face, you

I texted a pic to Swiss of the little conifer. He said he will post it up for me. Otherwise I have to wait until my Son gets home for him to get the pics out of my phone. Why have a dog and bark yourself

Paul at the garage is looking for a new light. Subaru want £269

Why no picture of car and headlight?


or was it the tree you don't own, appearing on the driveway as you turned in?
