Why Not To Let The Mrs Drive

[Scotty]

As title says, pretty self explainitry.
Shes in a dream world and went straight into the back of an old school friends car... (shes not seen them in years.)

How wonderful. And guess what morons having to repair it... ME!
Waste my frigging time any way after the bump she was dead upset (her first crash) and I was out like a mad chinese man. This is why i brought a half decent camera phone.

Damage =

Hood - Scrap
Apron - Can bend back
Headlights - Scrap
Radiator - Scrap

Other than that she still runs fine (other than the obvious over heating)
Wings on car are fine.

Damage to her car = bent bumper.

Can't believe she went into someone I was yelling to her brakes. But car crashs are great you don't get hurt. Not like when i've hit cars and pretended to be super man.

All i can say is WOFFLE

You mean you havent got the car fitted with HE-MAN dual controls? I wouldnt let the missus drive without me having them...
Just kidding, unlucky about the smack. Least if you pop down the scrappy it wont cost too much to fix. I take it the fiesta she hit spanked the mini? Wonder if they will both be claiming off your insurance.

Yeah all rolled forwards a little. The chap in the mini was cool about the whole situation.
Quite young as well looked at it and thought to be honest mate I cant be bothered with the hassle. Didnt take any details got in his car an buggered off.

Happens though she was upset.
I don't car any more i've crashed a number of times and for once its in a car and I was fine not even a bruise. Muha!

Least its not my fault emma just got all emotional. I tried not to have a go at her even though its completly her fault for not paying attention.

We where on the way to getting sshopping. So least thats been put off. I HATE SHOPPING. Stupid tesco's!

Its back at my parents on a ramp now where me and the old man hav stripped it and found a replacement car from the scrap yard to nick parts off. Should be up and running again tomorrow.

Keep you posted.


Heman controls - all i haveis to scream like a little school girl and laugh a little without getting beaten up by the mrs.
Quite funny to watch the two girls flap about it though.

Not to worry its just metal

Shush, Well I dunno i don't normally work with cars I don't like them.
Bonnet sounds like a hat I made when I was 5 and had to show it off at an easter parade. How Ghey, the embarrasment.

Never mind. Yeah the car did fold a bit when we hit it.
An yet not much damage on the ford... LoL.

Oh and amazingly the bumper is fine. Which is strange. LoL
Think the car dives a tad (As the suspension is dead soft.)

The condition of the coolant spewing out that radiator is a F*cking disgrace.

I take it there's zero maintenance.

I don't maintain it. Like its said before its a car, so bleh.
As long as it runs and doesn't blow up I couldnt give a hoot.

Well I would leave it but the Mrs use's it the most and doesn't really want huge dents in the car, that and none of the front lights work (well indicators do though).

That and down the scrap yard for all the bits and pieces its cost £60. So Can't exactly moan shouldn't take to long to fix.

So its not just me in the situation then.. LOL


I had a BRAND NEW Ford KA on Thursday whilst mine was in having warranty work.
I took the KA to show the Mrs coz i looked silly in it, she wanted a drive and so i passed her the keys, she reversed 8 feet out of the drive straight into the corner of a neighbours car...
The damage was minimal but there all the same.... Scrape down the NS door / rear wing on the KA and a scuffed bumper on a Celica.

I had to get the buffer out rapid and do some refinishing work on a NEW car..

I have NO idea where all these sexist notions of men being better drivers comes from

Can I make a suggestion that she goes to see her doctor (or takes a trip to A&E) and explains that she's been in a car accident for a check up?

For the plain and simple rreason that my (now ex) girfriend had an accident last September that involved no contact with other vehicles, where she simply spun very slowly into a ditch and suffered whiplash injuries that she is still suffering from now.

You might feel like you were invincible, but if there's been contact, there will have been whiplash. And the pain and discomfort will start either later today or tomorrow.

Hmm, it can also happen the other way, I borrowed my wife's car BMW Z4 and reversed it into a metal barrier!

Reminds me of an episode years ago. Volvos are proper tough, right? Well I went up the back of one at a roundabout doing about 4mph. Result - 1 cracked headlamp on my Astra. Volvo rear bumper, which is designed to crumple progressively, errr, crumpled progressively up against the rear wheels and the lardy Swedish lump couldn't be driven away. Result.

Easy easy repair!


I did similar and I had the car repanneled (if not painted) in about 1/2 a day.

Front panel is £50ish gen from peugeot,

bonnet £50 from a breakers yard


You might find the plastic bumper brackets either side are broken - bit of araldite will sort that.


No point in scrapping it, the 106s are good little cars I think (mine got 161,000 on a 95N) and It would be a criminal waste for what little effort is needed to patch it back up.

IF you want any further gen - give me a shout mate
