Butterflys Blackberry... car of the 90's

[davidwort 0]

You know, it's not always all bad news, we've had a couple of cars in our family sustain 'write off' damage and have ended up doing pretty well out of it, a certain 306 of my sister's was bought back for 50 quid after they said a front wing, bonnet and light would cost over a grand to fix, in fact they paid out 850 and the bodywork cost 400 to sort.

And nothing is ever un-fixable, I drove a mk1 into a brick wall and bent an inner wing right round yet it was jigged out and repaired perfectly.

Thanks everyone for the kind words and similar experiance reports.

Big group hug...

I've had a friend and a family member both say 'good job you weren't in it' :cuckoo: I SOOOO wish I was in it when it started to slip.... oh well.

 

Looking at it more subjectively a bit of a bash with a hammer on the rear panel and a new bumper (oh plus something to tidy up the spoiler) and it wouldn't look sooooo painful.

Haven't a clue what the insurance would charge to buy it back but no doubt will find out soon. £400 excess though :pale:

 

Oh, and driving it to the repair place I saw that the spoiler still works.. aww bless it :luvlove:

these guys are VERY good & only down the road from you. I used to pass every day when i worked @ mighty Sheffield & often there were some very exotic chariots awaiting paint.

 

Hope this helps...... how about Pauls usual place?

Damn that's bad luck Judith. You seem very stoical about it though. Could have happened to any of us.

Naww, they are only a paint shop. I don't think a bit of filler painted over will sort this!!

I was pretty upset Sunday night and didn't sleep well but hey, worse things can happen at sea.... As my Dad is always saying....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And my Corrado looks a darn sight better than my sisters Volvo which she wrote of the week before.....and somehow, God must have been watching over her, she was able to walk away from.

:shock: a very good reason to drive a volvo

Blimey! I was also in a road accident in the last couple of weeks which made a right mess of the vehicle I was in and probably lost me another of my 9 lives - scary stuff! Glad your sister was OK!

OK, here goes.

I'm on there but I'm hiding :) Got to come to the show on Saturday 4th Oct if you want to see any more :wink:

And yes, the 'teacher' is stunning and really knows how to move......

[Toad 0]

You know that bumper.... I might be able to deliver.... Can I meet the teacher????

[coolrado 0]

:shock: :clap: :notworthy:

just out of interest what and where is the show? :lol:

You are more than welcome to deliver the bumper. We have plenty of room to put you up. You can even come to the show if you like but I think it is standing room only now.

Also happy to introduce you to Lara AKA Hells Belle but I think she would eat you alive.

 

:shock: :clap: :notworthy:

The Velvet Burlesque show Saturday 4th Oct, Embassy Club, Sheffield tickets £10 and I think we will be selling all 500 :shock:

Mine you, Lara had her car broken into recently and loads of show gear stolen.... It turned up strewn around a few streets, obviously not worth trying to sell (though I know of a few ladies who would love it..) anyway, Deepcar police have bought quite a few tickets I believe!!

I'd click the picture but.. it's not entirely work safe!! Preview looks good tho :D

[Butterfly 0]

Ah, should I put a NSFW warning in the title??? It is all good clean fun, honest.

Now if I put up one of us all in our tassels that might be a bit different.....

[Jim 2]

What are you waiting for?

Is that a problem? I've been looking for a strong woman. Mostly so she can carry the shopping herself of course. ;)

I'm not complaining, but why is it that womens fitness classes are getting closer to soft porn every day? Pole dancing classes seem to be springing up all over the place too.

"Thinks to himself should i enrol Kate in pole dancing classes??"" MMM

NSFW added..... or did you mean posting other pictures??

Yep Pole Dancing is VERY hard work on the arms and shoulders. Only hard on the legs if you are doings 'hands free' poses.
