Two crashes in one weekend =[
« on: November 15, 2010, 03:48:29 PM »
What a bad weekend, 2 crashes in one weekend.

I say crashes, I mean bumps, some one bumped the back left of the bumper on friday night on a roundabout on the A14 and made a little scuff it had when I bought that little bit worse, so it's giving me a kick to get that sorted now.

Then on sunday night I was sitting at traffic lights and the person in front of me put there car in reverse and drove into me and no damage from that what so ever, I've had a good look all round the car with my dad and there is no damage.

The smart forfour is a tough little car it seems.

Yeh it was one of those weekends, I'm very impressed with the way it hasn't been damaged in the slightest even though they were little bumps and not crashes, and yeh there is a little scuff on each corner of the rear bumper, nothing major at all, but totally worth getting sorted, I feel I should as those little things make the difference.

I've only had 2 accidents - in my saxo on way home from work i had a little coming together on a small country lane with a broken indicator an slight dent to wing, then the next day on the way to work I took a corner and there was a beer lorry unloading and I put a scrape down the other side....

That week while the car was being fixed, I got a lift with my boss and we had a head on with a Clio on the same country lane and wrote off his car!!

Not wishing one on you at all - just be careful in this crappy weather ;)

I had never had a crash until this weekend sort of sucks but that's life I guess.
