Title: Oh dear. Poor astra.
Post by: STMO999 on 11 January 2010, 11:17:15
The long haired one has eventually managed to drive the astra into another car. I have travelled with her and it appears she tries to do it most days.
She was turning left from a major road on to a minor one. The astra decided it was not ready to turn and ploughed into an unfortunate man who was waiting to exit the side road.
Now the annoying bit. The astra is less than three years old, the car she hit was a 13 year old megane. Apparently, the front of the astra is well damaged, and hardly a mark on the rear quarter of the megane. Oh well.
I shall be going to Sheffield later to give her my car to break and bringing hers home. I will post some pics so that you can piss yourselves sympathise.

There is no point in worrying Chris. It will be fixed.

Just about sorted. Courtesy car will be here Thursday morning and they will take mine away. £120 excess and no loss of NCD.

Whats up, is the snow causing them problems.


No loss of NCD, but I bet your premium shoots up.
