I was inside changing a nappy at the time, I got poo on my finger when wondering why my black bin was flying through the air, the front of the car was parked level with the adjoining wall, so it was it with some force to knock it 6' backwards and through wall

The transit was brand new, and had a lovely headbutt mark in its windscreen were the young lad driving it without his seatbelt on hit it, but swore blindly he was doing 30mph, got laughed at by the other workers at his firm who turned up and went on his way to a&e

I wasn't bothered in the slightest, the car had come back from the repairs after a 6 month slog repairing it after a motor bike had bounced on the dashboard whilst parked in the driveway, and sprayed the whole side of the car with slate chippings and the resprayed was orange peel HQ

It was also BLACK

Amazing what damage a vehicle at 30mph can do isn't it. Mind you i think being an unfashionable colour like black you were probably glad to get rid of it. I see that someone on the forum has a black RRS which looks even worse than your old KIA. Never mind, at least you managed to get a decent colour in the end though if my memory serves me well you did have another bad colour before you saw the "white" (light)  Ralph

10 mins later my son would have been strapped into his car seat, I could have been sat in or stood strapping him in

The main thing is I got FL2.1 in grey, slowly working the shades to white, which I'm nearly there with alaska cream

There but for the grace of God eh! Ralph
