Happy Xmas to the pratt in the white car.
« on: 17 December 2006, 19:26:16 »
 >:(Parked outside my mothers to day, narrow road, only room for one car to pass at a time, when this pratt in a white Escort comes flying past, must have been doing 60+ and clipped my front wing and front bumper. Going too fast to get his number plate. >:(

Got all the paint off, could be worse, front bumper scored, front wing slight buckle, but paint still intact.

Is this the same road where you have a similar experience with another car?  Sounds a dangerous place to park  :o

Gutted  :(

Yes, unfortunately :(

I may be able to touch in the front bumper, shall wait for the warmer weather though to do that.

The ripple in my front wing is another matter, a pro job.

My mother (99 years of age and still going strong) lives near to Birmingham University, most of the houses now have been turned into student accomodation, 5 - 9 students per dwelling, average 4/5 cars to a dwelling, sometimes have to park 2 or 3 roads away, it's a large area trying to comb the streets looking for a white escort would be damn nigh impossible.

The thing that gets me, with the amount of cars parked in the area, reducing the roads to single lanes, is the speed these pratts drive up an down the roads.

It is wonderful when they are on a break, it is such a peaceful area.
