No injuries , no other cars. bit shaken up but fine

Ahhh mate thats bad but at least your ok, was you on the way to the wharf when this happend??

 No Markie I was on my way back from the garden centre!!

Cheers guys -appreciate the kind words

 

Nothing you can do about a blowout- bang and 2 milliseconds later ive slammed into ther central res spinning like im on ice- no amount of driving skills will save you from that one[:'(]

Anyway like you said no-ones hurt (except my wallet £675 excess!) 

Last time a Citreon C4 wonder what i'll get this time?

Bad news Trevor but glad you're ok. Best warn the repair shop about that blue matting in the boot else they'll think you were carrying cans of paint at the time [:o]

 I Still have that light if the repairers want it [:o]

If we had any more spare parts we could probably cobble enough bits and pieces together to build Trevor a kit car lol
