theres a wheel and tyre on eBay biding for£125 at the minute.
Thought they were for trucks - only 24 volt.
As amusing as fitting a train/truck horn to the Panda would be, I didn't even get near the horn yesterday, I was more concerned with just steering!
Whenever I get close to anything in the Panda, its 3* NCAP and its short bonnet play on my mind.
As you say though, at least I'm okay and the Panda can be fixed. I was pretty shook up though, I've never been in an a accident before.
Thanks mate, you don't know how much it means to hear some kind words.
As I said, I've never been in a car accident before and it shakes you up more than a bystander would imagine.
I'm glad I'm okay, just annoyed that I've got a £500 bill that I don't deserve.
Cheers .glad you're o.k.,
probably the better of the impact scenarios ..,
wasn't the 3 star N-cap for non airbag equipped base models..??
YES - £500 for a wheel + tyre is daft.., can run my 1.1 active for a few years on that..

Out of interest, I just had a look at the Panda's NCAP score and video. The test was conducted on a 1.2 model with only one airbag, which came out of the steering wheel.
Here's the video of the test if anyone fancies a look at how a Panda holds up in an accident:

lots of slagging off of audi drivers here, maybe the op was driving too quickly and the audi driver didn't see him. We will never know. Over on a audi forum there's someone telling a story of how he had pulled out on someone and they had binned it because they where driving to fast.
Get a dashcam for next time.
Gav,who are knobs?
I think you'll find its the "Im pulling out,might is right" lorry and bus /coach drivers that are the worse drivers. Maybe your a breath of fresh air and one of the better ones
Im one of the other motorists favourite drivers, A BMW driver.
Your defending a person that gave a one sided version. Always fancied a go at hgv, if I was single that would have been my chosen profession, I'd love to have been a continental driver.
genuine question that I'd like you to answer please. Why when two lorrys are over taking will the inside lane lorry never yield? The over taker is trying to do just that, surely just lifting off the go pedal for just a second would allow the overtaker to pass. Over the years I've been stuck for miles and miles due to this.
