Are you all right?!?! Cars can be replaced!

[stroppy_prof]

A bit shaken up, but unharmed. It was my own stupid fault, no-one else to blame. I just misjudged a very sharp corner on a hill and knackered the offside back quarter of the car on a sneaky low wall. Managed to rip off the trim, cave in the door, dent the wheel arch, tear the tyre and pull the back bumper part-way off.

I've had the car two months. I'm gutted.

And if the stupid fucker next door hadn't yet again had delivery trucks blocking the road, I wouldn't have had to take the alternative route I've driven once before in the seven years I've been driving, and it wouldn't have happened, and it's still my own damned fault.

I'm glad you're all right, and I'm sorry about your car. I remember the narrowness and curviness of the roads from my one trip over there - I can't imagine having to drive those roads!

[stroppy_prof]

I suppose as long as I'm intact, the car is a secondary concern. Heh. But still, raaaaaaaaarg.

[shadowycat]

Oh, no! Are you okay? I hope.

[stroppy_prof]

I have had coffee, which is probably not the best thing for shock, and sugar. Lots of sugar. Because that's like medicine :D So I'm not so shaken up now. The car looks a lot like crap, though...

Happily seconded.

Thirded!

[stroppy_prof]

Fortunately, it's motability, so the insurers don't get a choice. I have to pay £75 excess, though, and it means I lose the £200 I'd have got back when I handed the car in after the agreement runs out.

I shall have to invent a few new curses to suit the situation.

[waysmeanstonola]

oh no! glad to hear that you are okay.

[stroppy_prof]

Thank you :)

Worse things happen, and all that. But I do feel like an utter tit for doing something so pointlessly stupid.

[badwolf735]

Arggh!

I'm pleased to hear you're unharmed! Are you sure it wasn't actually Grace Markway running about in her nightie which made you hit the tree... er.. wall?

Seriously though, I'm glad you're OK. When I win the lottery on Saturday, I'll buy you a new car!

[stroppy_prof]

Much as I'd like to blame Grace Markway, this one was all my doing. And I'm pretty sure the car's not haunted, either - just somewhat crumpled...

~hugs~ When you win the lottery, save the money and get 'Things We Like' started up :)

[badwolf735]

I was thinking about 'Things We Like' just the other day actually. I can still picture it located somewhere in our very own 'Hallowe'en Town'... :)

(Just down the road from 'Acorn Antiques'...)
