Bonjour...
On my way to work yesterday, i was stationary in traffic on the main road into Windsor. When the adventurous young man infront of me decided he didn't want to wait in traffic anymore. He then simply turned his lovely example of an H-reg Fiesta into a right hand turn to execute a 3-point turn. Unfortunatley "Johnny can't drive" didnt bother to look to see if anyone was coming....
Low and behold there was a poor innocent lady in a Clio on her way to work, at approx. 40mph in the lane he saught space in.
She would of barely seen the whites of his experienced eyes when BANG. She clouted him full pelt. This glorious smash sent his now slightly bent dagenham dustbin hurtling towards my stationary and clean M3. BANG.
Oh no he didn't.
Was due to go on holiday to Cornwall next week and drive my pride and joy all the way down there, enjoying roof down conditions where permitting.
Now i have an SLK hire car

Awww, nightmare....
However, does this mean that the headlights that did require replacing will be replaced at the cost of this gentleman?

I think if you go back and look you will actually find that it has indeed fucked the light up.
