So today I'm working. Driving in and out of all sorts of roads in London, watching my fuel gauge go down...nevermind :D

Anyway, this guy lives down this really thin and narrow road and there isn't even tarmac...it's lumpy mud...joy...so bouncing along it I hear the bottom of the car knock against the ground once or twice...nothing major...then I look up ahead.


Now picture this....it's steep up hill...conditions aren't ideal to say the least its muddy, I'm wheelspinning occasionally and keeping a steady pace so I don't risk sliding back....then I see where the road turns into tarmac....what must be 6inches higher than the rest of the road/mud

"F**K" Is all that went through my mind, I couldn't stop as I'd slid backwards and potentially damage a lot of cars in the process...I couldnt' slow down as I'd probably slid backwards and potentially damage a lot of cars in the process....

I HAD to keep going...I almost begin to cry....*bang*....car mounted it and I kept going....I pulled up shortly afterwards and looked at my front bumper. The bottom spoiler bit (I haven't fitted the splitter yet) is damaged and hanging down....

So now the car is damaged at the front and back....JOY. Ahhh well....I'll check out the damage in full tomorrow when I'm A)Not working B) in the daylight but hopefully I'll just need a new bottom lip bit...if anyones got a spare...let me know - Trophy Blue...ta


In the mean time....bring on the Maestro....save my car from London that is!!

I'll get a pic tomorrow....my car looks such a state at the minute :cry:

Ah well...least I'm not picking Rachel up till next week - gives me a chance to get it sorted :D

Sounds like your having a really bad run of luck with the Zed atm :(

My drive (farm lane) is pretty fubar and Ive heard the odd scrape once or twice (Ive developed a particular route around all the bumps now!) but it sounds like you had to pretty much mount a curb head on! Ouch!

I dreamed that mine got written off last night... Let's hope that's as far as it goes! :crazy:

But you need something a little higher and just as much fun...


I suggest a monster truck. :)

Think you need something a little rougher than a Zed.
