Ooops

So there I was checking out the forums as I do when I get home.

Hmm the missus should be home shortly, there she is now, I can hear her driving into the carport.

What the???

All this screeching and grinding, wheels spinning.........:oo::oo:

I raced out to see my missus re-entering the drive way saying I didnt hit his car, I didnt hit his car, I didnt hit his car????

Huuh??

Apparently the accelerator got stuck on the car and the poor love drove straight through our car port and into next doors yard, cleaning up his yoot in the process.

She then drove back into our drive way thinking she had missed his yoot.

No personal injury, so everything is fine, the insurance will take care of the rest. :cool:

His yoot has a bent floor pan and the doors are 50mm out of whack.

Ours has damaged panels and a major windscreen crack. :o

The poor love is besides herself as to what happened? :no:

Al :doh:

glad that no-one got hurt.
I hope that sensible shoes were being worn, and that high heels weren't the reason for the stuck accelerator?

Ouch!!!!!!!!, one stuffed yoot and dented pride. My mother put the car away after washing it, and wet slippery shes saw her foot slip off the stop pedal onto the go, removing the back of the brick garage and sending bricks into the fence and causing a fair bit of damage. If its only property damage and dented pride its all fixable.

Pass on my sympathy to the trouble and strife,

John.

I put the car on the nature strip as the carport is unsafe and will have to be demolished.

When I drove it I noticed that you can have a foot on both the brake and accelerator at the same time (an Auto), I think this is what happened.

Al :C

Bummer Al. I like your attitude though: as long as she is OK. As I said to my teenage son who's learning to drive: all of these cars'll be scrap metal in a few years anyway.

Vehicles are scrap metal from day 1, they can be replaced, lives cant.

Al :)

What sort of car WAS it?

Glad your Yoot was Ok. What about the table saw?

Twasnt the shed but the front carport.

Al :)

Hope Missus Al is OK and Autos can be a "thingo"....try it with Blundstone boots on and see how you go.

ouch :(

:pics: :console:

Glad she's OK, Al :)

Al,
good to hear it's only dented pride (and sheetmetal). But remember, it didn't happen if there's no photos!:D

Mick

Glad to hear that the Missus has only dented her pride and hopefully has stopped shaking today

Glad no one got hurt

Wouldna happened to a Holden! ;) Mind you i know an idiot who left the handbrake off in his ute and it sorta kinda parked itself backwards thru the side fence and had a rest against the neighbours verandah post.... :(

My Father in law did that. Short sloping drive into his carport perpendicular to the side fence. Got out, forgot to put it in park, didn't put on the handbrake, got out and went inside, came out and it was through the fence. The only thing that stopped it going through the neighbour's kitchen window was the rock garden.

Got his neighbour to help push it out, was standing around talking about what happened and it started rolling backwards again. He'd done exactly the same thing again!

I was going to take some pics but the love was to upset so I didnt want to make her worse, besides, I like my nuts where they are.

Al :D:D:D

Bummer Al :(


If it were my missus:

Two days after the event it never happened.
If you mention it you will be a marked man: she'll bring up every fault of yours back to your child birth and suggest you also have flawed DNA, your dinners will reside in the freezer and you'll think your sleeping with your dinner its that cold in bed.

It never happened.
It was a mystery event like the immaculate conception, don't question it.

Hope the insurance dudes come to the party for you.

No probs with the insurance.

This is the first claim in 30 years.

Al :)

Insurance companies are actually quite understanding I have found out. They must have a special laugh a minute file for me..... :(
