Bye bye Corrado. :-(
« on: 06 June 2012, 12:22 »
Some chopper in his Chelsea Tractor decided he didn't want to stop for the lights. Went straight into the bloke behind me, who went into me, and I went into someone else, and again. All of us stationary at traffic lights. Way too far gone to repair, bye bye..................... :cry: :cry: :cry:

OUCH!  That must have been hit bloody hard to do that much damage at stationary.

How hard did the numpty wallop the back of the queue and in what?!

Hope you're OK - the rest?  Well it's only tin and rubber.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Cheers for the comments fellas, I'm ok although my neck is a little sore. None of the whiplash bollox though as its not worth the hassle, and will probably be ok by the morning. Missus chest was a bit sore to begin with, but I think thats just where the seatbelt tensioned. Bloke who caused it was in a Range Rover.  :rolleyes: There are traffic lights the other side of a crest of a hill, we were all stationary there. It's a 40mph road so he was probs around that speed, and the roads were damp too. I've mentioned that exact point of road before in reference to a woman on the phone with kids in the car, and almost careering into stationary cars!  :angry:
Oh well, time to start looking at VR6s now!  :evil:
