I've been happier :-(
« on: April 10, 2010, 03:29:26 pm »
Feckin lorry drivers  :mad:

Noticed a lorry (big rock/gravel transporting thing) making progress down the country roads by me. SO I took an almighty step backwards and left him to it - it seemed to be empty but was chucking all sorts of unpleasant stuff off the roads.

Finally got to a junction, and I naturally caught up to him - thankfully we were both turning in opposite directions.

He pulls off and next thing I know is "THUDDD!!!!" - I instinctively duck, it's that loud. As he's pulled out into the main road, the fecker's booted it, and lost traction - throwing up the surface crap and stones.....

all over the side of my car!!!

I pull up later on and find this  :sad1:


A fookin huge dent and scar in my door!

To protect it in the meantime, I've used my touch-up stick, but it's a body-shop job me thinks....
Thankfully I've got a body-shop chap who owes me a favour.... so fingers crossed.

I'm also feeling quite lucky, as a few inches higher, it would have smashed the window.

Looks like my detailing wish list just got slightly longer!

Mate, sorry to hear it. Hope you get it sorted.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Bloomin' 'eck, 2 in the same day. Sorry to see that Dano. That is how I ended up with the CF bonnet, except it was a big bolt off the back of a flatbed on my bonnet  :sick:
Golf R gone.
