Yesterrday wifey put 19 year old son on her car (diesel mini) for a week for £40. His car needs a new gearbox and he`s got to get to college which is a pain as theres no direct route/busses and its 15 mils away.
3hrs later he`s been sideswiped by another youngster (lady) on ajolly with her parents from miles away. Door and 3/4 scuffed and dented. Doesnt look much but not cheap!!
Out today with wifey, went to the Bedford Steam Fair at Shuttleworth (Old Warden where they keep and fly the vintage aircraft), beautiful day.
On the way back I`m at a roundabout on the inside lane with all traffic peeling off to turn right in the r/h lane so I`ve undertaken at a snails pace two motorbikes (Harley and Paris Dakar type thingy). Launch away to go straight on as theres lots of traffic coming onto the r/about from the right and so does the Honda `Varaderra??` type bike except he`s now decided he`s going straight on, next thing I know he`s beside me and getting closer as he leans ever further away to make the bend so I floor it and he`s ok.
Come to another big r/about and indicate to turm right under the A1 and back onto the sliproad south bound. Big fat bearded biker with brand new bike and leathers cuts in front and goes around at a snails pace while the other sits behind me, b**ger I thought they are gonna make me stop [
][&:]. Turn onto A1 incline slip road and Harly boy pulls over into inner lane and Honda boy is right up my chuff................................so I blew him away [][][][][][][]
Came back into my village and ended up behind a peugeot 406 estate going real slow. I`m in no hurry so I track him, he slows and stops and starts and then comes to a halt just beside a parked car with a right turn 10 feet ahead completely blocking the road!!!!!!!
I sound my horn after 20 secs or so so he then sticks it in reverse, I sound the horn again, no reverse, then reverse lights again (I`m 6-8 feet behind him) so he then proceeds to reverse into me with my horn sounding and me shouting out of the window (his window is also down by the way). Car behind me so I cant go anywhere!!!!!!!
The twat didnt see me, didnt hear the horn, didnt indicate (he said he was reversing into the empty space beside me) exchanged details, I warned him not to try the old `he ran into me gag` and he said he wouldnt. As we parted I then said " I suggest you look in your mirrors in future" he said "perhaps you shouldnt have been so close" The wife grabbed my arm and stopped me giving him a slap and gave him an earful. He apologised and we parted company.
Dented badge panel and scuffed PU, not bad really cos if his insurance coughs I`ll have alll those stone chips gone for free. []
Ho Hum.
