The guy is obviously on acid, either that, or he just can't be bothered to pay for it to be towed to the scrapyard! 1988 FFS!

Great story.

But, just to split hairs: the impact looks like it is from an impossibly narrow and strong tree. "Lamp post" is probably a more accurate description.

Have you ever hit a relatively slender tree with a car? Believe me, even the puny looking ones are fking well anchored to the ground, I'd rather hit a lamppost!

genius. i really enjoyed that.

An excellent bit of scribing.

It's just out of warranty - I think we know someone who might buy it. Just needs a wee bit of work to the bumper.

What I really need though is a comprehensive guide to buying a German sports car, preferably lavender in colour, with a faint aroma of cheese. Any ideas? Anyone?
