I nearly got flattened by a HGV on Tuesday night. Luckily he just shunted me along the dual carriageway for 100m or so, before realising I was there and backing off. Apparently he thought the first bump on the OSR, which occurred when he tried to pull into the inside lane I was occupying, was a tyre blowout. He then decided to try and pull over to investigate, which is when he hit me square on up the arse and pushed me along for a bit.

I'm still waiting for the insurers to sort stuff out. I've heard on the grapevine (the driver works with the brother of someone I work with) that he is blaming me for the incident. He's only just got the job, and is in a panic that he's going to lose it. So he f@#king should, IMO.

So, in the meantime, I've got a Chrysler Sebring 2.0l diesel as a temporary replacement, which is the worst car I've ever driven.

Not much point to this post really. I'm not really looking for any suggestions or advice. I just thought I would vent. :D

A few accessories will be up for sale presently. :)

Gutted for you Gritty. Hope it gets resolved quickly.

Sorry to see that gritty,
from looking at that picture and comparing it to my one i would say it is probably a cat C, hope the insurance resolves it smoothlty.

Cheers all. :)

I'm hoping for a speedy resolution too. I can't put up with this Chrysler for too long. :thumbdn: Time for a change, I think, once the payout turns up.

So sorry to see Gritty‘s car in that state. :crycry: Thank Goodness he wasn't hurt.

Probably will never drive the Dales and Cumbria together in our Ss again. :(

Saz and I loved getting our Ss together with his for the calendar competition. :heart:

Esses and asses, in Saz's case. ;)

I might get another S at some point, so never say never again. :) I can still photograph your cars. I'll just park my little diesel-mobile out of sight.

thats awful - sorry to hear that and hope things are sorted out promptly. I suppose the best thing is that you're still in one piece and not seriously injured.

Hoirible to see this Gritty :(

Let's see the pics of asses! :D
