As those who read my thread about a poxy white van man who clipped my bumper on Tuesday, well I can now add Poxy OAP!!!

Going into Sainsbury's this afternoon; go to turn right into a space, and whack!!!  A silly sod has come forward from his parking space on my nearsideand scrapped his front bumber, with number plate down my rear passenger nearside door!!

He got out and said "so sorry, my foot slipped!!"  "It is the first time, and I have been driving 60 years" !!!!!!!   Fortunately the OAP travelled at slow speed into my side, and caught more the plastic trim along the door, with gouges in the paintwork, but no dents!

Anyway I took down all his particulars and contacted my Insurance Broker, the AA, who gave me the option (yet again!!*) of going through the direct insurance company route - paying, claiming back my excess, arranging repairs, basic loan car, or going through Claimfast who would arrange the collection of my car, its repair and return, whilst providing an equal loan car to my Elite.  As before* I said "YES!!" to the second option!

All arranged  already for my car to be collected on Monday, with the "prestige" loan car provided the same day. As damage should be speedily sorted out, my car should come back relatively quickly.

The OAP's insurance company rang up shortly after and accepted liability 8-) 8-)



*It was a year ago on the 4th October that my CDX was shunted up the back and eventually written off, and then the AA sent me to Claimfast with me ending up with a Merc E320CDi for 6 weeks.  Tremendous service, and made a drama enjoyable!

Thanks James!

What I am worried about is that these things often come in 3s!!!

[Auto Addict]

Bloody OAP's, hang on, I resemble that remark!

[MaxV6]

Lizzie, do you travel with a built in plonker detector or what?

At first I thought this was the van thread prund down, so quite surprised to see another thread of bad luck for you Lizzie ?!  :-? .
And was thinking about the 'come in threes' as I read this thread .

I should stay in for the rest of the month, as perhaps your planets aren't in alinement (if you're into the starcharts  ).

Seriously though, could of been much worse.

So everyone, place your bets please...........

Time to start having your shopping delivered me thinks, Lizzy ! 

[Lizzie_Zoom]

Lizzie, do you travel with a built in plonker detector or what?

Yeah, this week I reckon I have had this target affixed to my car - hit her here!!!

When I think of the speeds I have driven at, for decades, and this is the third accident in just over a  year when I'm either stationery or doing just 2 mph!!

Who says speed is dangerous?  No its not, it is being stationery that is bloody dangerous!!!  Like 5 years ago, on a motorway hard shoulder, and I was, I swear, the thickness of my clothes from being wiped out by a continental 44 tonner!!

Yep, Sainsbury's have started a deliver service in these parts!!   Trouble is I love shopping in real shops, not cyberspace

Yes, but that would have been rolling the car at 150mph, which would be far more understandable; you know, my fault, not due to the lunatics, old, and infirm!  I do not want to go like that, at low speed!

[PhilRich]

Lizzie, do you travel with a built in plonker detector or what?

More like a Plonker Attractor IMO!
The things some women will do to get near a man!!!

Seriously Lizzie, bad luck girl

I believe that's more commonly known as a 'crap magnet'

Anyway - at least you were both in the car at the time, small mercies and all that

Every time someone has hit me it's been a hit 'n run when I'm not around Last time was outside my own house, the night before I signed the paperwork to move into my new house! I swear, timing is not my strong suit..

Anyway.. hope it all gets fixed speedily and you avoid any more OAP encounters

[SJKOO01]

Hey Lizzie,

Two things that strike me here about these comments

"Yes, but that would have been rolling the car at 150mph, which would be far more understandable; you know, my fault, not due to the lunatics, old, and infirm!  I do not want to go like that, at low speed!"


Am I right in thinking that you want to have your car on fire, crash rolling through the Pearly Gates, do a handbrake turn, get out and shout, "Right then where's the bar"         


"Anyway.. hope it all gets fixed speedily and you avoid any more OAP encounters"

If this was death race 2010, how many bonus points would you have gotten for the hit       

[Dishevelled Den]

Incredible news Lizzie.

Well it's better than going quietly!!  

Trouble is I didn't wipe out either white van man or the OAP, so zero points!
(Only joking before anyone pounces on me being sick!! I am just in that mood at the moment !!:D )
