Title: Your first prang in a motor
Post by: Pastis on August 06, 2012, 06:34:44 PM: It had to happen; eldest nephew (and God son) has had his first prang. Very fortunately no one else was involved ~ he was, allegedly, driving back from the pub along the country lanes and on preparing to make a left into the farm .... yep, miscalculated and drove straight into the farm's entrance wall ... demolishing it eeek:

Damage: The lad, none except pride. The wall, severe. The motor ... didn't dare ask but his Dad reckons 00's for the front end noooo:

My first wasn't that serious but I did need a tow out of a ditch redface: I was mercilessly brought into line after that ... ouch

Post by: Snoopy on August 06, 2012, 07:02:17 PM: I put an RAF Mini-van into a ditch on its roof whilst trying to avoid a tractor n trailer that pulled out of a field.

Exactly one week later I did the same thing with another RAF Mini-van, same farmer, next field along.

Post by: Darwins Selection on August 22, 2012, 05:48:12 PM: Rover 75, stationary at traffic lights, Vauxhall Viva ran in the back of it.

Viva: A couple of feet shorter, much steam and large puddle of oil.

Rover: Broken number plate light.

They don't make cars like that any more (either sort).
