    Default Ooops

    So there I was checking out the forums as I do when I get home.

    Hmm the missus should be home shortly, there she is now, I can hear her driving into the carport.

    What the???

    All this screeching and grinding, wheels spinning.........

    I raced out to see my missus re-entering the drive way saying I didnt hit his car, I didnt hit his car, I didnt hit his car????

    Huuh??

    Apparently the accelerator got stuck on the car and the poor love drove straight through our car port and into next doors yard, cleaning up his yoot in the process.

    She then drove back into our drive way thinking she had missed his yoot.

    No personal injury, so everything is fine, the insurance will take care of the rest.

    His yoot has a bent floor pan and the doors are 50mm out of whack.

    Ours has damaged panels and a major windscreen crack.

    The poor love is besides herself as to what happened?

    glad that no-one got hurt.
    I hope that sensible shoes were being worn, and that high heels weren't the reason for the stuck accelerator?
    Cheers,

    Ouch!!!!!!!!, one stuffed yoot and dented pride. My mother put the car away after washing it, and wet slippery shes saw her foot slip off the stop pedal onto the go, removing the back of the brick garage and sending bricks into the fence and causing a fair bit of damage. If its only property damage and dented pride its all fixable.

    Pass on my sympathy to the trouble and strife,

    John.

    I put the car on the nature strip as the carport is unsafe and will have to be demolished.

    When I drove it I noticed that you can have a foot on both the brake and accelerator at the same time (an Auto), I think this is what happened.

    Bummer Al. I like your attitude though: as long as she is OK. As I said to my teenage son who's learning to drive: all of these cars'll be scrap metal in a few years anyway.

    Vehicles are scrap metal from day 1, they can be replaced, lives cant.

    ouch
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.
