martinmac Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 This is the one day I get to drive my car. Been for a wrestling match with the Chiropractor again. So, I sit in the car and gently drive over the mini speed bumps and set off. After about 2 miles I hit a dead badger and nearly managed to stop. Popped the screw on the front spoiler A mile further down the road, coming out of a 60 limit into a 30. As I go round the corner theres a camera van Oops Park up in town and as its supposed to be my last visit I am in there for just over an hour. Get back to the car and I have a parking ticker Distance covered 8 miles. Rather expensive running costs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 bad tings normally come in threes, so you should be clear. but remember if something else happens, then your most likely to have another 5 bad things, as it then becomes 3 sets of 3. hopefully your over the worst of the murphies law syndrome.

Pagnobito Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Probably could not have avoided the badger without causing an accident, but I feel you could have avoided the next two items on the list? sometimes bad luck you make for yourself. Good luck with the back, or whatever it is you needed treatment for, I know and have suffered for more than 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xStric9x Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Bad luck bud but you could show the police how much you help the public by showing them the super Martin vid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 So the badger didn't exactly leap out at you unexpectedly then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Bad day Martin. At least your incident with the badger didn't amount to £1400 as mine did when I encountered one last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin W Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 A mile further down the road, coming out of a 60 limit into a 30. As I go round the corner theres a camera van Oops You might be Ok on this one. Happened to me last year, 65 in a 40 limit, but my friendly local Assistant Comissioner for Surrey told me the Vans are there to catch licence/insurance dodgers/ stolen plates/vehicles, they have an electronic feed to posses of 2 wheelers who are poised to go...
