A really crap Monday. A terrible Tuesday. Now, after getting the car out for a top down drive in the sun, an appalling Wednesday s:( :( s:(

The cause was a wall mounted bike rack holding two bikes - evidently it didn't like sitting on the wall s:evil: :evil: s:evil:
Sorry to see that Sean, how gutting s:cry: :cry: s:cry:
s:( :( s:(
Gutted for you mate, truly gutted.
Personally, I reckon the bikes were jealous of the car and decided to attack it. s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
Sorry, I know this is no laughing matter. s:oops: :oops: s:oops:
oh man do I feel for you s:cry: :cry: s:cry: s:x :x s:x s:cry: :cry: s:cry:
Its a thought though because Ive a bike rack mounted on the wall of the garage loaded with a bike on too!!!! And to add to this there is a loaded wind surf board and sails suspended from the roof of the garage sitting over the 2 when its parked in it.!! s:roll: :roll: s:roll: s:roll: :roll: s:roll:
Methinks Ill be moving it this weekend.
Can imagine how you feel m8
Sorry to see that mate, what a shitter......... s:( :( s:(
Gutted for you! s:( :( s:(
I had a "More Than" incident when a barbecue perched on the beams in the roof space of my garage attempted a KamiKaze leap one night and missed the car & hardtop by inches.
Now thats more than lucky!
ouch, know just how that feels s:( :( s:(
Had a slab of ice fall off the roof and stove my bonnet in at New Year. If you look at my avatar it is a photo before the repair. Looked worse up close and cost the best part of £700 to put right. s:shock: :shock: s:shock:
Bad news.... I hope you kicked the bikes. s:( :( s:(
Damn, Sean s:( :( s:( Sorry to see this s:( :( s:( Your car was so pristine, too.
Fingers crossed that Adam can get a black wing for you, I suppose? At least ours are bolt-on affairs.. small mercies, and all that.
Yeah, I've PM'd Adam earlier. And Graham - thanks for the condolences, but the bad news for you is that I will finally be getting that carbon bonnet sprayed as there is a dent in my stock one s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
graham never ever replies to me

Damn, and you thought you was having a bad week... s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
Should look good with the c/f bonnet, will it be on for the dyno meet?..
Sorry to hear your bad news Sean. I know how you feel as it always hurts more when you feel it was your own fault s:? :? s:?
Ouch!! That's a real bummer Sean. Hate it when things like that happen.
Hope you get it sorted okay matey.
Quote from: "dimwit"Should look good with the c/f bonnet, will it be on for the dyno meet?..
I think time is against me on this one as I need to source a wing before going to the bodyshop, but you never know.
I saw your post over on SC. Gah! What a bummer. I almost had an entire metal shelf full of stuff land on my last car (a Miata). It came down because I had overloaded it and it was the cheap kind made out of L sections. A corner L twisted and down she came, narrowly missing the car, me, and luckily my daughter playing in the driveway just outside. My daughter learned some new words that day. "Don't repeat what Daddy just said." As it was, all I had to do was clean up some spilled oil.
Ahhhh Sean! You're car was SOOOOOOOO nice!!! Thats such a pisser!
Good job the damage was nothing more that superficial though. Doesn't make it any better right now I know, but at least that should be "relatively" fixable..............
Hope you get it back to normal mate cos I want to see the finished product!!!
Good luck!
gutted for you! s:( :( s:(
Same here gutted for you mate!
Boo Hiss!!
This is why bikes should be banned s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:
Makes my sulk about a tiny front bumper scratch look a little childish
Can you claim under your house insurance for this 'accidental damage' ??
Oh Sorry to hear about that mate, i know exactly how gutted you must be at the mo, hope she looks good for JAE
This week is truly unbelieveable. I went out to pick Abby up to take her to the doctors when on the way a Volvo turnued left then at the last second pulled back into the traffic - I had to swerve into oncoming traffic to avoid him sideswiping me! I later found out that I'm not getting any form of pay rise this year either s:( :( s:(
Anyway, on a brighter note I have got a good quote for the paint job, and Adam seems to have come good with a replacement wing, so it should be sorted soon - providing I survive any further disasters!
sorry to hear that mate, was a mint car when i went to ur house with leon_in_uk
s:( :( s:(

Working for 'the man' (big companies) sucks, doesn't it s:? :? s:? In the midst of all the presentations they keep giving here about how well we're doing, and our share price rocketing etc etc, my pay review granted me a whopping £150 pay rise (thats annual).. woo.. I feel so.. valued s;) ;) s;)
Back on topic - good to hear Adam had a wing, at least s:) :) s:)

We are all in the same boat on this one; what's a payrise s:?: :?: s:?: s:? :? s:?
I need a black rear bumper I think if anyone speaks to Adam before I get home.
I had an infraction with a German post s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
I take it you lost then s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
not sure it was dark i think i gave as good as I got.
the motorways are shit pitch black and the turn offs are sudden.
with no petrol I had to reverse and Crunch! ffs I NEVER do that sort of thing *cries*

It all depends.
No payrise one year means either a) the company you are working for are having a tough time and you need to decide whether it's worth your while staying around or b) you're underperforming and need to pull your socks up.
No payrise for multiple years means either a) your company know you aren't about to leave no matter what they do and they can afford to take the pi55, b) you still havent found the clue at b) above, or c) they fully intend to get shot of you by pi55ing you off so much you resign.
*Shakes head* This just isn't funny anymore - I got home last night to find that the main TV (32" CRT) had gone pop s:evil: :evil: s:evil:
I'm not superstitious but I do feel something is out to get me s:shock: :shock: s:shock:

one of my clients at work is a plasma supplier and i can get you any plasma for cost price?
try and shine some sunlight on your dark shitty week s:D :D s:D
oh shite man!
For what it's worth, why don't you try dent wizzard? http://www.dentwizard.com/site/de/en/index.htm
i had a "small" dent, and they fixed it perfectly. Don't know if they are in the UK though.... s:? :? s:?

Yep... this week gets better and better!
New TV yesterday took £1K out of the savings s:cry: :cry: s:cry: but on a brighter note, its an LCD and picture quality is fab! Sean is pleased!
As I said to Sean, no-one is out to get him - but with me taking extended maternity leave it meant that Sean and I couldn't spend anything and every spare penny had to go into the savings for a 'just incase' reason! I returned to work this week after almost 1 year out and this month will be paid my normally salary! So, basically things have gone 'POP' and 'BANG' because Sean hasn't spoilt the car lately and is now able to spend again s:wink: :wink: s:wink: !
We have had a very expensive week and my salary at the end of this month will be there to cover it s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
I think it's rotten what has happened these past few days, but have laughed my ass off too! We are going out this weekend to buy a shed for the bikes as well as other bits.
The sad thing is though that despite Seans efforts we don't think the car will be sorted before the dyno day s:cry: :cry: s:cry: . I will follow down in good old trusty (my yaris!) with the back full of car bits to leave at SP!
