One of those "OH SH1T" moments
« on: November 12, 2014, 02:26:24 am »
Coming home from a 12 hour night shift in the early hours of this morning, on the motorway, in a slight daze I clipped a traffic cone. Which in turn caused my drivers side wing mirror to internally combust and has dented and ruined my front right hand quarter... pictures to follow in day light...

I have never been so gutted in my life!  :sick:

EDIT: Here they are...





These may not be as bad as you where expecting...however, I'm absolutely livid with myself! Thankfully TPS have all the necessary bits now I just need to find somewhere to spray it and get it fitted without getting ruined on charges...  :confused:

Glad you're OK.
Could have been your head that was split apart.
It's only metal and plastic - and can be repaired.
If you're in a 'daze', don't drive until you're more awake. Have a coffee, eat a Mars bar and take your time. Your life and other's may depend on it.
Be safe.
