Katy Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Driving home tonight in a rush and since they've closed all the roads round my house (except for one which I normally avoid because of a horrible junction/raised kerb scenario) I took a (bl**dy stupid) chance and now half my passenger side step is laying on the roadside 500m from my house. I know it's my own fault and I don't deserve sympathy but I still want some. #feeling sad... 1 Quote
Grundy Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 That sucks Haven't heard an update since I saw you at brighton, did you get your kit fitted? Quote
Katy Posted July 2, 2014 Author Posted July 2, 2014 Yeah, all fitted and (was) looking gorgeous. Now looking like she's ready for the skip... Quote
Katy Posted July 2, 2014 Author Posted July 2, 2014 Just in time for the South East meet on Sunday too... my timing is impeccable Quote
Grundy Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Just in time for the South East meet on Sunday too... my timing is impeccable Get your lil madam to stand near the damage to hide 1 Quote
Katy Posted July 2, 2014 Author Posted July 2, 2014 I knew lil madam would come in handy for summit 1 Quote
GMballistic Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 That sucks Katy. Hopefully the side step isn't too badly damaged though and can be refitted. Quote
glrnet Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Sorry to hear this, I was pretty peed off last weekend at LakeZ when I had to run over a small branch in the road (oncoming traffic) 1/2 inch gouge in the front lip. sort of puts it all into perspective really Quote
WhackyWill Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Don't worry Katy everything can be fixed.. 1 Quote
Katy Posted July 2, 2014 Author Posted July 2, 2014 sorry to hear, did it snap in half?? Er, yep. 'Fraid so Difficult to explain the circumstances (and I'd still look like a pillock so I won't try...) but it's very much in half. Don't worry Katy everything can be fixed.. Chris from Tarmac Sportz has already saved the day and a new step is winging its way to me very soon... Lessens the emotional blow slightly but increases the financial blow 2 Quote
Katy Posted July 2, 2014 Author Posted July 2, 2014 And thanks to all for the love n' hugs... despite my apparent stupidity. Much appreciated. I knew I wouldn't hear "it's just a bit of plastic anyway" from you lot 1 Quote

parello9 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 My tarmac side steps touch the floor often well speed bumps! :-/ Quote
Will370z Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Ouch, annoying isn't it as you keep going over it in your mind. Still easy fix in the grand scale of things and it could have been worse. Quote
NeilMH Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Sorry to hear about this Katy. I share your pain as I managed to exit my driveway a little too rapidly a few years ago and gouged my passenger sill on one of my own rockery stones Sounds like yours will be fixed soon, hopefully Quote
StevoD Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 My tarmac side steps touch the floor often well speed bumps! :-/ yea i think i have images of me slamming them into the floor drifting pod and norfolk and they've survived Op must be very unlucky Quote
Payco Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Sorry to hear that Katy. Hope to still see you at the meet Sunday. Martin Quote
Ceejay29 Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Oh no not cool! My side steps are being fitted at the bodyshop as we speak, there is a bit of a hump upon entering the premises; hoping that I can leave ok without undoing all of the hard work almost immediately. I have a front lip going on too (amongst other things)..... Eeeek! Quote
