Zeezeebaba Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I managed to rip the door clean off an MG Metro I owned many moons ago whilst reversing back with the door open in my driveway I failed to take into account one if my old dears ornamental stone flower pots.

PiGFoetus Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I learned that lesson many years ago when picking up my old VW Scirocco from the garage. Though sadly there were no young ladies to cause distraction. Garage left gear in first with handbrake off, which is something I don't normally do. I get into the car and am scanning the paperwork, idly insert the ignition key, turn and ... bang. The whole bonnet of the car is now protruding through a wooden fence into some old lady's back garden. The old lady is sat out the back of her house looking initially shocked, then shouting at me quite a lot. No damage to the car and the garage were good about it. Said the fence was rotten and needed replacing anyway and placated the lady and repaired it at their cost, even though technically it was my fault for not doing the correct pre-flight checks. Left me feeling like a proper turnip though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
