Unlucky Ed, accidents happen. Sure you'll be able to fix her up soon!
I managed to reverse my Hi-Jet into my Step-Mum's Audi TT, didn't look and didn't expect it to be parked there, oops! Such a horrible feeling.

Re: Time to own up
I nudged my brothers Megane once, only very gently, while reversing up the hill outside my house. It was in the shadow of the house so I didn't notice it. It's the shock you get because you're not expecting it isn't it.albertross74 wrote:Unlucky Ed, accidents happen. Sure you'll be able to fix her up soon!

There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Re: Time to own up
yeah, I felt so guilty! Just reversing at a fair pace in our driveway not expecting her car to be there and then I just hit something and stopped, turned around to look, fuck! haha
Definitely learnt my lesson too haha.

Re: Time to own up
Ahhhh the first crash.....Remember it like it was yesterday !! My Mini at 60mph, wet road, spinning 180 into a hedge narrowly missing a telegraph pole by 3 inches.... Foolish
Glad you are ok dude, cars are just tin.....(that u spend hours and hours and hours on...)
If u get no joy with the bull bar, I can probably help you out with that, although mine is a bit bigger looking than your one and it's a bit bent too!!

Re: Time to own up
Hehe, yeah. Yours sounds a fair bit worse than mine. A 180 vs. a failed barrel roll. I'd say you win.
Sounds cool. It'll have to wait a while though, 'cause of college. I've got exams coming up soon too. During my summer hols would be good.

Re: Time to own up
I havent had a crash in my car yet (touch wood).
Ive been bloody close a few times, mostly due to my own errors. First ever crash i had was when i was 16, on a tractor and trailer moving soil from the local secondary school back home. I had a 12 tonne tipper trailer full, about 5 tonne of tractor and a few tonne of trailer.
The village high street has a sharp left hander at each end of it.
Coming down the high street, went round the bend and there was a car parked in the road right around the bend with a car coming the other way. I slammed on, trailer locked up and went straight into the back of a ford galaxy. They had a nice weigh frame hole in their boot, i had to get the green paint out when i got home
Oh what a rig, and she does bark when its fully loaded too

Re: Time to own up
Hehe! It's like an exaggerated SJ. Slow, bumpy and with brake good enough to lock all four.
I tell you what, that surprised me the first time I properly stomped on my brakes, just after I passed, when a set of traffic lights changed. I ended up about 30 degrees different to the road.
