On way to work this morning in a 40mph zone_and on a bend doing 30 mph due to lorry in front---A Bmw coming the other way doing at least 60mph crossed center markings and killed my drivers side mirror-I stopped and picked up pieces in case a danger to anybody else and noticed glass strewn on my side of road--Bmw was gone but at least they got to do mirror and glass--I got a new mirror on way via the Bay---for a lot less than Bmw part gonna cost---so glad I got a miggy---old bus just keeps on going

General Car Chat / bonnet flipped up !!!

« on: 18 October 2014, 14:50:51 »

Yep luckily it was the rat--not miggy--somebody pulled bonnet pins out--I didn't notice

went down road at about 50 mph-up it went--2x hinges bent and bonnet too

DO not try this at home nor on a miggy-----
however hammer/welder and hot rod ingenuity sorted it-oh and 2x plasters ---no animals were hurt in this production

culprit

fix-2x plasters after hammer and big boot to straighten bonnet

how it looks after repair-

not the approved method yed if you need to ask you wouldn't understand---its a rat thing

General Car Chat / my other car

« on: 05 October 2014, 00:12:59 »

well been on a forced holiday---no not in lock up-though maybe I should be

spent past months swearing and getting cut/burnt and made lighter in wallet--all the work so far-interior included was done by myself--sewing machines are lethal
