Today I approach a superstore in Canterbury, and out of the public car park entrance/exit road comes a white van. I stop as he is right in the middle of the road and I want to let him out................out he comes, but instead of turning around my cars front, as you are meant to in any vehicle, let alone one with a long wheelbase, he turns right against my offside front bumper!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, he stops and I give him hell, telling him he should never be driving a vehicle of that size, and I have driven far larger vehicles than that so I know! I also point out the numerous dents all down both sides of this ruddy van. We then exchange details.
Well good news will hopefully come out of this story! The van was actually on hire from a large southern company, and when I phone them for their insurance details and describe what happened, the manager their said I should send him two estimates and they will settle away from insurance.
The fact is that, very luckily, only the corner of the bumber was scuffed, without any bodywork damage. Also that particular spot on the bumper already had a nasty historical scuff that had been patched up, and I was going to get around to giving it a proper repair!
So, all being well, job done!!

But damned white van man, typical of the breed; hopefully he has lost his hire deposit!! 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)
