D'oh and double D'oh!

Postby peterg » Fri Jan 26, 2007 5:36 pm

Well I went and did it.....had a coming together with a tree :roll:
Bloody farmers.....20mph and slid under braking into a tree on a mud covered road. Its fixable.....just need some front end bits. I think the damn car is a jinx.....managed to loose 2 championships in it when I was the fastest car out there, then the engine blew....then it wouldnt work, now it does...and a damned tree attacks me :twisted:

Sue the fecker - you can't just go around making the roads unsafe for people to drive on! Call the police - get the road conditions checked before someone gets a chance to clean it up - or before someone else kills themselves. He must have a responsibility to clean mud off the roads surely.

Man that is very tough - you must be feeling sick as a pig.

Its just another in the catalogue of disasters.....dont think Ive ever been so unlucky with one car!!!! Could be the number plate.
As for the farmer.....unfortunately the nearest and most likely suspect is a very good friend....but about 3 or 4 other farmers use the road too so its mission impossible. The weather has been very bad recently too....shit happens as they say!!!
