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.

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. Time for a change, I think, once the payout turns up.

So sorry to see Gritty‘s car in that state. 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.

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!
