Damage to my looks cosmetic but I dare not drive all the way not knowing if the bumper is going to come off (it's broken several clips) or if it rubs on the tyre etc
Oh no. At least nobody was hurt. It's why I don't like driving anywhere because to risky these days.

Years ago I ran into the back of a lexus at a big roundabout. Nothing around but us 2. He pulled into the roundabout, then sharply stopped. As I was accelerating, I couldn't stop in time and ran into the back of him :roll:

Sorry to the organisers and @exxos I owe you some money. Send me a PM and I'll sort you out.

ARGH after all that testing and packing. 2 seconds of not concentrating.
Damn, that sucks, it really annoys me when people stop at roundabouts, and other junctions, when there is just no need. People just don't seem to be able to read the road. At least you're ok.

Hope everyone has a great day.
Collector of many retro things!
800XL and 65XE both with Ultimate1MB,VBXL/XE & PokeyMax, SIDE3, SDrive Max, 2x 1010 cassette, 2x 1050 one with Happy mod, 3x 2600 Jr, 7800 and Lynx II
