what have you done to your car today ?

This was not actually my MK1 thankfully, but Mk5 Ibiza (they're not sociable on that platform ) Had a young girl drive straight into the back of me in traffic yesterday. Shed not long passed her test, so in a state. Luckily she hasn't damaged the integrity of the car, but got some cracked paint, number plate & scuffs. I told her not to worry about it, assuring her I can fix it up for £30. She was very relieved, but the driver behind her wanted to shop her for dangerous driving.
Oddly, the time I actually have a keen witness, it's the time I don't need to even go through insurance. He was shitty towards her, so I gi assured her there would be no further action & not to worry.
I need to perfect my rattle can skills now

That guy sounds like a lefty narcissist, should of told him to spin on it lol

Sorry to hear about the accident mate. That was nice of you to let her off with it. Hopefully you can repair it without too much hassle.

I had a really hot indian girl drive into the back of mine on a roundabout a couple of years ago. Gave it a proper bump, but amazingly did zero damage, not even a mark on the paint. I think the fact that i'd just dipped the clutch to put her into gear allowed the impact to push the car fwd rather than damage it. Tried to get her number, but turned out she was married haha.

Aww mate, that's a sweet story, shame she was married
Glad the car was ok though & at least that gets better with age

Some people just love to feel important & I guess threatening a young lady who's only just passed her test, is about as 'macho' as you can get. I did usher him on, perfectly capable of dealing with it like a human being.

I had the same one year. It's a few turn in to the parking for the local shops. .. left right left. Stop... well it's stopped.. the young lad behind didn't. Low speed.. but made a big bang haha. Loads of people stopped and looked. Poor lad was in tears. Only passed a month or so befor.
Mine was my old 05 plate vivaro van. With tow bar. And his was a clio.. so both perfectly OK after.. but I moved both vehicles out the way.
Some lady got him a drink to help calm him down..
What annoyed me was people saying I should claim for injury, and not to move the vehicls etc.
Any way bollox it to.. told him hope he has learnt his lesson. And merry Christmas. ( it was Christmas eve) and told him to go home and sit down and calm down. Gave him my number if he had any problems with his car etc and I done my shopping.
Later that eve ing. His dad called me and said why was I not claiming insurance and for injurys , I said cos there is no point . 1 cos there wasn't any and 2 it would screw the young lad for insurance for years to come. . His old man could not thank me enough.
Don't know any morrels to this story...
