Default Beware Bosnians!

A while ago this happened- http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...sidedamage.jpg

It may not look that bad but its a good 2" indentation spanning the door, which needed to be replaced and the whole side of the car resprayed.

Any way, this all happened when i took my car to be cleaned foolishley at my local immigrant wash and wax parlour! now when they had finished they parked it sideways to a pug 206. At this point id like to state that they leave the cars IN gear. Naturally when the woman of the 206 returned and started the engine without checking the gears !WHAKK! done me up like a kipper.

When i returned to collect my once un-tainted car i was greeted by a scruffy looking, sud-riddled scroat trying to explain in a mish-mashed muddle of "englosnian" (couple of english words and a whole lotta bosnian) how my ride came to be soiled! And then charged me £12.

So shortley after i went round to the residents the "licensed employee of the wash & wax" give to me, i exchaged details with the crying woman. Thinking she could go private with my claim, she offered to pay cash. But one qoute of damages later i returned to produce an estimated £980 repairs bill! Her face shrunk as her no-claims went down the drain. I was going to sarcasticly say "that was an expensive car wash for you" but luckily i witheld my remark and everythings gone smoothley so far!

But the point is i get my car back tomorrow from the body-shop. And after a week of driving a 1.2cc vauxhall corsa im kinda excited.

Im not going to have my car cleaned there again, however i am going to continue having sex with the woman who hit me.

Eh that sux...but like the story. My car just got backed into by an old lady on friday in front of my house. She had the nerve to tell me i shouldn't be parked, on a public street, behind her drive way, which is directly in front of my house. $981 fix. Good luck with your car.

Dude, are you for real? That's the sweetest accident deal I've ever heard! I've only been in an accident with an overweight, middle-aged, balding man...lucky! PS - I hope the car's just as good as it was when you get it back.
