Just popped out at lunch and stripped the tank off, looks like the connections for the fuel sensor had just worked loose little bit of wiggling and pushing and I've got a nice flashing fuel light again.
Apart from the snapped gear shift and some red paint on the metal band round the bottom of my slip on then nothing.
He caught the edge of the exhaust with the front of the drivers door just enough to shove me off balance and over so really the actual damage is worse on his car
It was a complete accident at the end of the day and no one was hurt so I wasn't annoyed these things happen and better me than a kid in a carpark.
Hopefully now the first thing he'll think when reversing is to check his blind spot.
I still can't imagine how he did that though, after I passed my test I borrowed my dad's saab (my mates call it a boat), I never touched a kerb neither did a I make a single scratch on it. That was with a 1 day insurance, a whole policy costed an arm and an leg.
My neigbhour she's probably around 24-25, day 2 brand new car. The size of the car is comparable to smart, she made a massive scratch across her whole bodywork. I still have no idea how she managed to do that... By now you'll find a scratch on every panel of that car, apart from the roof.
Also, I think my small plate must be ok. Over the past few days I've filtered in front of around 5 police cars, then at lunchtime today, I was right in front of one for about 4 minutes at some lights.
I glued a huge reflector on the bottom, but it obscures some of the letters from a distance - was worried I'd get done for this too.
I've just reserved 3 cans of WD40 chain cleaner and 2 cans of Muc off extreme lube for £35 that should keep me going for the best part of a year.
I've got the 200 piece set and apart from the odd slightly more specialised part like circlip pliers and a rubber mallet it's done pretty much everything.
I've got the 120 piece set and my only regret is not getting a bigger set with the ratchet spanners. I use mine all the time, they're awesome. But yeah they're like the DFS sale, never ever full price
