A green tick
A cookie
Or a gold badge (recorded delivery)

1 sec will get the damage pic up

All that was damaged was my rear light though, Not a scratch on it otherwise :S

Surprisingly...

Very lucky it was just a rear light cluster, you got off very lightly indeed. That fence just needs a new post and some new length along the top, £25-50 in responce to your original post.

My address is..... LOL

 

[Aluco]

I know, Lucky the fence was at the level of the light cluster and i went through backwards at the perfect angle but i wont be trying it again.

£15 delivered from f0xy
for a light cluster.

Some scary stuff that was.

Edit
aha £25-50 for the fence
That aint too bad, someone told me the owner (The duke of staffordshire) would probably charge me £1000
*_*

 

[Aluco]

Just afterwards

After a jet wash in the rain to remove the mud and survey the damage (Which there was none apart from the light :O)

 

[Whiteley]

Very lucky!

 

[Aluco]

Your telling me.

Never would of thought a car could spin so much.

 

[Marky_]

Good story. I like it!

 

[Aluco]

Hah,

Least i can get a light off f0xy and give her a good wash and everything the poor lass

I nearly cried when the car stopped thought the back end would be totaled haha, Would have been gutted

 

[Fred@BTM]
