brad` · 07-07-2008, 04:21 PM

ok so first of all i put a dent in my cars boot... great work on that.

the colpret ? a KFC ordering box thing.. reversed into while parking in the car park.. miss judged. now im up for a penal betting job

Mind you the demage isnt that bad, just ****es me of that its there!! and its noticable. also on the bend of the boot so it might have to be fully replaced.

also have a feeling it might have market my rear bar as well have to look more later tonight its raining again and i dont have a garage to look at the damage more.

How close was the object to the edge of the kerb, and was there a concrete buffer in place to stop you hitting the object?
If you persue it further they may admit fault. Take some pics of where the incident happened and post them up.

Gee that's gonna work out to be an expensive KFC meal ! .

SSVPom · 07-07-2008, 11:46 PM

Penal beating maybe ?

brad` · 08-07-2008, 10:09 AM

nah im betting the panal beater paints it the wrong colour.. haha.. well i didnt end up eating KFC so i still missed out.

the sign was dead even with the concret curve so even if you hit the curve you still hit the sign!

Bad luck mate. Hope you can get it corrected soon. I had a similar incident a few months ago - reversed into some large decorative rocks on someone's front lawn on a rainy night. Was trying to do a three-point-turn. If it wasn't for my tow bar, it would have been a lot worse.

Damn those N95's take good photos ;)

And...Can't believe anyone hasn't said it yet, I know I shouldn't but I can't help it......

It'll Buff out!

To be fair I've reversed into a large green skip bin and put a nice ding in my recently fixed tailgate....It's a pain in the

Your cheapest option might be to call a few wreckers and find an AU bootlid in sparkling burgundy and just replace it. Painting is expensive.

**Professor Farnsworth** · 08-07-2008, 05:59 PM

penal betting would imply some sort of intra-prison gambling racket.

new bootlid time!

Thankyou mate, next one gets you a ban

XR6Stu · 09-07-2008, 10:03 PM

Ive backed a car thru a shed wall at work in my early years of my apprenticeship!

XR6-VCT-2000 · 10-07-2008, 04:35 AM

Come to think of it , I recon a bit of their KFC sweet and sour sauce and bbq sauce mixed together would just about be the colour of your car , a bit of free car putty maybe ..lol

brad` · 12-07-2008, 12:37 AM

haha sweet and sour would be sticky enuff to hold too. have to remember that next time i get Kfc and i can just stick my piant back on.. awesome

dont think the colouyr would be deep enuff maybe to much shine 2

LMAO , i'm glad you took that in good humour! ;) . I realy do feel sorry for you though about your cars damage. I hope all goes well and you manage to get it fixed cheap - cheaper than bbq & sweet and sour sauce would be a bonus

, cheers mate .
