Right folks, here's the story.

On the M55 at Blackpool yesterday, car in front slams on and stops, I slam on and stop, car behind doesn't and shunts me in to the car in front. The lad who hit me was then shunted by his mate but fortunately no further collision.

Thing is - the car I was shunted in to was an 8 DAY OLD Renault Megane. My car is only FOUR WEEKS old  :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

The lad who hit me was driving a Rover 25, he's only 19 and has third party cover. I reckon his car is a write-off. Actually feel quite sorry for him.

The incident occured just outside Blackpool VW, apparently Ed30 parts will take about 4-6 weeks. Fortunately it's driveable.

NOT ANOTHER ONE??
Sorry to hear this mate..  :sad: I'm not sure if I want to pick my Ed30 up now.. As there seems to be some sort of vendetta against them on the road and everyone wants to smash into them..  :huh:

Blimey! This is an alarming trend!!  :sad:

Better keep an eye on me rear view mirror when I stop, and leave a BIG gap in front!!

Hope you get it sorted soon, isn't there an issue with ED30 rear bumpers??

Some silly bint almost hit me this morning.  I was stationary in a queue and she hit the brakes at the last minute and screeched to a halt.  She saw me looking in my mirror at her and she waved to acknowledge what nearly happened as if to say sorry and she had a bloody Blackberry in her hand!  :rolleyes:

Some silly bint normally hit me this morning.  I was stationary in a queue and she hit the brakes at the last minute and screeched to a halt.  She saw me looking in my mirror at her and she waved to acknowledge what nearly happened as if to say sorry and she had a bloody Blackberry in her hand!  :rolleyes:

Nuff said!!!  :angry:

That should have said "almost hit me" rather than normally.  Oops...

Sorry to hear that M :sad:

Using my conspiracy theory head, it is a secret plan by VW UK to reduce the numbers of the ED30 back to 1500 by hiring people to write them off :cry:
