Was reversing up my driveway, which is very steep, and happened to rip off my drivers door side protector strip on a horizontal waste pipe running along the side of the house. :I
So I rang the nearest Fiat dealer (Downeys, Newtownards) and enquired about new fitting clips to put it back on.
Yes sir, they are 64p each said the ass-istant.
I need 6 says I.
I can have have them by Wednesday says he.
Lovely says I, can I order them please.
Certainly sir, says he, what's your chassis number? [:0]
Duh, end of conversation. So I went to the garage where I got my car, bought them over the counter and no questions asked.
Chassis number for universal clips. [V]

Fun While It Runs

Stupid b*tch next door had her car parked as close to my drive as she possibly could, there is no fence between the drives.
I was watching my drivers mirror and it was at least 6 inches from the wall, the pipe must be 6.5 inches from it. :I
O, just to cap things. My son left his bike lying on the drive behind the car......nice scratch on the rear valance. Now where's me blue felt tip?

It takes a women to do a job like this properly

A couple of years a go my missus managed to 'fall off' the edge of the drive with her 106 (I know what your thinking - its a big car, so give her the benefit of doubt [^])Having got 1 pair of wheels off the drive on to the garden she proceeded to panic and try to get it back on the drive. In the process she dragged the car backward and forwards through a tree scratching it down one side - rolled it into the drainpipe on the front of the garage shattering the pipe - bottomed the sump on the edge of the drive - and set fire to the clutch!!

Now thats what I call a good job !!

Stilo Abarth, Broom Yellow

aye, if you're going to wreck a car on your drive - do it properly!


Cinq Sporting - and yes, its broom yellow!

I once hit the wall at the bottom of my drive, trying to see how quick I could whip round into it:I But I was only 17, and it was in a brown Chevette, so didn't really spoil its looks

Unfotunately, that wasn't the end of it, cos 6 years on (just before this christmas), I was waiting to pull out of my drive, see you have to have the front end sticking out a little to see past the parked cars in the road, and some pillock drove straight into my Fiesta, writing it off[!]

The worst of it is, as I was 'pulling into the flow of traffic' and with no witnesses to prove otherwise, it was my fault[}]
