A bad week gets worse (pics)

Slacey · April 5, 2006, 17:19

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:

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:

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.

Gutted for you! 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:(

aaronjb · April 5, 2006, 19:05

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.

Slacey · April 5, 2006, 19:11

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:

philster_d · April 5, 2006, 19:41

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?..

heathstimpson · April 5, 2006, 20:00

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:?

loadswine · April 5, 2006, 20:07

Ouch!! That's a real bummer Sean. Hate it when things like that happen.
Hope you get it sorted okay matey.

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!

Same here gutted for you mate!

fg · April 6, 2006, 09:31

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

Anonymous · April 6, 2006, 09:42

Can you claim under your house insurance for this 'accidental damage' ??

kanujunkie · April 6, 2006, 12:48

Oh Sorry to hear about that mate, i know exactly how gutted you must be at the mo, hope she looks good for JAE

Slacey · April 6, 2006, 13:25

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!

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:)
