A lamp post quite a few years ago in my Hillman Hunter ::)  and a tree in my Elite a month ago. Reversed into the bloody thing and smashed tailgate glass and creased tailgate. :'( :'(

biggest thing I've hit is a pigeon whilst driving a double deck bus. Was pulling into a stop and the stupid thing just stayed there. Made a very satisfying crunching noise, although the two women at the stop were cringing ;D

Biggest thing the wife has hit was a fire station!

Yonks ago, when I owned a MK1 1500 Cortina, I was driving through a picturesque country village when Mrs
Grumpy spyed the local shop. They had lined some
middling size boulders outside of it and painted them
white to look nice.

How can you miss some white painted boulders?  :-[
I picked one that sloped gently backwards and drove
up it, raising the nearside front of the car into the air.

When I backed and screeched off it and inspected
the underside of my car I found that my nearside
steering arm was bent upwards in a fetching kind
of 'U' shape.  :'(

Mrs Grumpy has never let me forget it.   :-[

A Peugeot pick-up truck, a Ford Feista, and a bus stop (on three separate ocassions...). But that was many many years ago.

Whilst doing a night event rally many moons ago,  navigator calls a bend as flat right only to find it was a 45 right. so whilst doing about 80 mph we hit planet earth VERY hard. I dont think you can get a more immovable an object than earth........................... hence new rally car a few weeks later :-) >:(

Hehe, I also had a mishap the 1st time I drove a forklift truck, thought the pedals were the same as a car (NOT)  anyway, came down a small slope, thought I was braking  (was the reverse pedal) other than it clicking nothing happened.  So I turned to the right with the intention of coasing to a halt and it started to roll over, was allready up on the left wheels.    ::)  Had to think quick, spun it round to the left doing a 180 which killed 60/70% of the speed.  But then I promply parked it into  2 huge tyres on a 17.5 ton truck. :-/

Got a way with a huge bolloking and the sack as my Dad was the Transport Manager, and to this day I dont think my gaffer actually found out.
You got away with only a bollocking and the sack? you jammy sod ;)

I considered the bollocking I got far far worse than the sack, he was spitting feathers.  remember it as if was was yeasterday and it happened 32/33 years ago.  I got "The look what might have happened" lecture.  and fully deserved it. :-/
