Really sorry to hear that, James :(

At least you are OK, as everyone has said.

As everyone has also said, get to the docs. Emma had a whiplash accident 5 years ago and still gets pain occasionally. Whilst I don't condone ambulance chasing, they wouldn't offer her anywhere near what her car was worth (to her) so she decided to claim for her injuries where normally she wouldn't and it made up for it.

 :( again.

I'd say that was a pretty major air crash! OK, nobody was killed, but they came within a gnat's whisker of turning into a fireball or crashing into a busy dual carriageway. Had the engines been producing power at the time of impact there may well have been a nasty fire.

I can understand it's unavoidable that they be detained for a little while, but to be denied food, drink and counselling and then expected to find their way home without money is a disgrace.

It's a bit much having to pay for your own Taxi home when they've come damn close to killing you :o

Wahay! Another year's trouble-free ploughing ahead of you :y

Could the disks be pitted because the engine's been broken for such a percentage of time that they rusted?

BTW, one of my neighbours has got a mate who keeps visiting him in a tractor you'd be jealous of. rather great John Deere job with seat about 12 feet off the ground. Really suitable for negotiating a modern housing estate, Not!

Think he tried to rag it pulling out onto the main road last night. Made an almighty roar but it didn't seem to pull away any quicker, and the 8 gear changes to reach 20 MPH cramped his style a bit ;D

The MOTOR insurance industry is a joke. People can have "guaranteed" NCB these days. 30 quid a year and you WILL NOT LOSE your ncb however many people's pride and joy you dent.

.. and then I get stung for an extra 100 quid on my premium because I mention the fact that a contractor working in a car park dropped his ladder on my car and arranged repair without their involvement. Not even a phone call to my insurance and that'll be an extra 100 quid please >:( "It indicates that you put yourself at a higher risk" What, parking under a CCTV camera? What's the likelihood that a bloke'll come along to service it while I'm parked and drop his ladder on my car?  >:(

I cannot express in words how much I loathe insurance companies. I will be very careful how much of the truth I tell them in future.  >:(

Well, I must admit the biker that hit me in Italy nicely sorted the scratch on the bumper from when I knocked over an ice cream sign a few days earlier :-X

Sorry to hear that :'(

Why do people drive these tractors when they've not got a hope of parking them - or driving them - safely?

My manual says there is a transponder in the child seat which is detected by an (optional) module under the seat to disable the airbag. I believe there's supposed to be an indicator light near the rear view mirror if this is the case.
