sally Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 OK, Thursday wasnt a good day for me and the Z. Things seem to come in threes so by the end of the day i was ready to punch someone. On the way to work a pidgeon thought it was clever so land in the road. There was a lorry coming the other way so when he took off, he aimed at my car. So i get pidgeon squidge down the side of my car. Then the air con guy looks at my car, Needs £1049+ of parts. Finally, on the was home a prat in a tractor pulls out of a field with a trailer then floors it. He covers my car with mud and stones, chipping my bumper, bonnet and windscreen!! Its not very often i get angry but i could have taken the drivers head off i was so angry! Its days like that i am glad i have another vehicle to use that isnt mine!!O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Did you get the reg of tractor man? I'm sure there is some level of cleaning they should perform before taking on the road? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmac Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 The tractor driver is liable for the damage. Get him. Also, get in touch with Zmanalex for the parts, it will save you a fortune. Pigeons make good pies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vik54 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Oh Sally! that's crap - go get that bl**dy tractor driver though they can be absolute menaces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sally Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 They are contracted in as i have rang a few farmers to see if it was them!!! I hope when i bring the car into work tomorrow to get the chip filled i dont encounter any more problems. For now, he is tucked away in the garage, out of harms way! On a plus note - Alex has sorted me out with a compressor so i can be ice cold!!! Brrrrr! Stupid onion farmers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Have they changed the rules? I thought it was good things that came in 3's. I feel for you! I hate stonechips. Hopefully your air cons working for the summer though! Then you can enjoy nice grit/dirt free roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sally Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 Dirt free roads? What are they??? Doesnt happen in the country!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Ah u need to get yourself into the highlands of Scotland next year for the hoon if it happens. Then you'll truly understand what I mean.(except the odd pile of horsesh1t on the ground) The roads are awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Sounds like you and Nigel are due some good luck now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sally Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 Just had the windscreen chip filled, Alex is sending me an A/C compressor and should have a wash to see what damage the piggie left behind, and touch in the stone chips. We will recover! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
