A few days ago I clipped the corner of a fence with my car. Caused a couple of little holes, dislodged the indicator light, about a square foot needs polishing out and a bit of a respray. Ordered some paint.
Yesterday OH came home from his reunion lunch and he had bumped his car. He hit a bollard in the car park. Cracked the bumper and a few scrapes.
Ordered a new bumper on line and some paint.
His bump is worse than mine. Feel quite relieved!!
Shortly after having to fork out £500 quid for a replacement gearbox in my 11-year-old car last year, my friend told me that she'd just had to fork out €900 (in Italy) for a new clutch in her 5-year-old car.
I remember seeing a lass driving a car with a huge dent in it......she had painted in white the word.....HIS....with an arrow pointing to the dent.... :-)
