D'oh thats unlucky, my better half did something like that just after she had her 16V bumper fitted, needless to say she was not happy with herself.

Still I made her feel better after I reversed into a 1ft wall!

The bush is in your driveway right? so say that a small child (not angel)ran in front of your car when you pulled up.. and you were so worried about avoiding that, you caught the bush

always having a problem with your bush eh ??

does it need trimming, is it unsightly, slightly straggly around the edges, could do with a good going over ??








watch out you dont cut something when you use the hedgetrimmers for gawds sake.....

Must be the day for doing this. Pulling in to the drive tonight caught the wall, demolished the corner of it and but 2 big scrapes and a dent in the rear passenger door. Not happy as saving to get the clutch done and 4 new tyres on
