When to say that's it?
« on: 01 March 2012, 00:17 »
After now repairing my Golf three times after other peoples mistakes, a lorry decided to shed a slight bit of its load, taking out my grill (this is the 4th grill FFS!) and bonnet catch. 80mph and the bonnet wrapped round. Ripped the hinges up trashed the screen and bonnet and nabbed both wings although they are repairable and just mishapped the roof. Surprised at how well the roof held though.


Anyone else just feel like giving up on them?

Lucky I had just bought a 1.3 Skoda Felicia for a couple hundred!

Well you must have been driving like a Cnut to be so close behind a lorry doing 80mph, when the lorry is restricted to 60! How did it shed it's load and you not avoid it unless you were being as your username suggests. Either that or your just full of sh!t!

he could quite easily have been in a different lane. We don't know happened, but your reply suggests that you're full of sh!t.

Did you report the lorry to police bellend? Unsecure load is an offence.
