A really crappy day

[thomas]

WE have just had a really horrible day.[5]

Our garage for the car has a lift...you drive in and the lift brings you down to the garagre...all very posh ...when it works,
Today we got stuck in the car, in the lift. Thankfully a neighbour was there and he manually brought the lift down...and then it happened...as we were driving out, the door of the lift closed in on the car. Our neighbour held one side open but the other side scraped our lovely A2...from the mirror right back. Our dealer syay it'll cost about €2000!!!!!! Good thing we have a good insurance.


And then later; Thomas ( not wanting to put the A2 under any more strain!!) cycled on his bike to work...and got run dowm by some idiot in a crappy cheap KIA ... hes alright but the bike had to be put out of its misery!!!
WE must be jinxed..

So we are having a couple of beers tonight...to drown our sorrows and if we're lucky to block out the whole day.

Oh dear. That is a rather unfortunate turn of events you've had today.[37]
Like you say, insurance is there for these slights mishaps.
Luckily it was a Kia that hit Thomas - was it written off?

Looking on the bright side.....................




I'll get back to you later when I've thought of one[18][18]


Don't drink drive! Not only is it socially unaceptable, it also harms A2's.
Was a 1.4SE petrol. http://www.audi-a2.co.uk/uk14.htm http://www.audi-a2.co.uk/safety.htm
New A2 - Ebony Black, Red Leather, CC, Symphony + all the previous options we had.

I bet you said few rude words. Not at all funny is it.

That is one expensive go-faster stripe. Ouch!.

I'm sure if you kick a Kia in the right place, it will just collapse. Give it a try and vent your anger!.

Hope it works out for you.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune!!! £2000 - that must be one hell of a scratch, or one hell of an hourly rate.
