Default My life is strewn with cow pats...

...from the Devil's own satanic herd.

When will the Gypsy hex end?!?

Driving home last night in Helen's new Scoob WRX Wagon. Waiting at a junction to turn left and WHAMO! The young son of a neighbour 3 doors up just drove into the back of me. Claims he wasn't looking. Must be that invisible paint layer I'm seem to have on most cars I drive.

Car is a right mess at the back. Helen's really upset that the only new car she's ever owned (and her own personal Scoob!) looks like an elephant sat on it at the back and my neck bl**din hurts.

Hey ho, it could be worse but I'm left wondering "What next"

Or for gods sake Ian

Do hope Helen and you are ok, other than the whiplash mate.

Don't really know what to say other than atleast its only metal and that mends, little consolation I know.

Your good luck certainly must start from Today

really sorry mate

Bloody Hell

You've only had it two minutes. You must have seriously upset Him upstairs We didn't even get chance for a proper look at it, but I'm sure it was you two I passed on the A162 on my way to Squires the other night.

Glad you're OK though, make sure you get that neck looked at




On second thoughts, on your salary if you claim for loss of earnings everyones insurance will go up considerably

Ta for the messages guys.

Couple of weeks and the car will be fixed. It's just the initial shock especially for Helen...

I go pick my super smooth (map) finished car up on Monday

It was Helen and me driving back to Tadcaster when the fleet flashed by

Gobsmacked, to say the least, but as has been said, at least you're both in one piece.


Is it going to be another Alton Cars WYIOC job?


Can I reccomend a graphics scheme to be applied upon it's return?



Might just make people see it a little more clearly in the future

Lol Andy!

As silly as it sounds, your idea has merit

It's going back to Bowetts since it's due it's 1,000 mile service soon and our good friend Richard will make sure it's put back A1 at the same time.

Still drives OK as I found out last night
