Had a little bump on Monday

[wilksy]

glad to hear your ok lucky you weren't in anything french cos i saw a program couple of weeks ago where the same thing happened and the pug 206 at the back was completly crushed to almost quarter the size unfortunatly no lucky escape

 

[omg!]

ROFLMAO, Duck tape? Is that what they tape ducks with? You sure you don't mean duct tape?

Is it Duct or Duck? We don’t want you to be confused, so we will explain. The first name for Duct Tape was DUCK. During World War II the U.S. Military needed a waterproof tape to keep the moisture out of ammunition cases. So, they enlisted the Johnson and Johnson Permacel Division to manufacture the tape. Because it was waterproof, everyone referred to it as “duck” tape (like water off a duck’s back). Military personnel discovered that the tape was good for lots more than keeping out water. They used it for Jeep repair, fixing stuff on their guns, strapping equipment to their clothing... the list is endless.

After the War, the housing industry was booming and someone discovered that the tape was great for joining the heating and air conditioning duct work. So, the color was changed from army green to the silvery color we are familiar with today and people started to refer to it as “duct tape*.” Therefore, either name is appropriate.

To be fair any sort of tape won't fix that car

Hope the insurance don't mess you about too much mate, they are the worst companies in the world to deal with

Gaffer tape over here! Am a stage technician so I can't live without the stuff! The world is held together with gaffer tape and cable ties.

Anyways, sorry to hear about the bump. Atleast your Ok, agree with Chris_16v... LCR!

Holy cow - not seen these photos in years!

Back on trying to find info on fixings the fans on my MK4 ibiza and decided to look back through my old posts!

 

[akchappers]

I didn't look at the dates! What you driving now?
Those cars are tough!
My yellow one completely write a fiesta off and caved the side off it in after he pulled out on me on a roundabout!
This is all that it did to mine! Still the same now! Insurance wrote it off an I bought it back for £250!

The impact must have scared the pooop out of you!

 

[googujube]

Ah man you must have been bricking it when you saw mr van steaming at you.

Might end up been a blessing in disguise bud..insurance should pay out. Thats unless youmanage to Duck tape it together

The car deffo took the hit well, I usually have a little un in the back and thats actually quite re-assuring!

 

[matt989]

Yeah, s^%t myself while sitting watching the can approach.

I was off work for a month after it and got a nice little pay out, no where near enough looking back at it now though!

Drive a Ibiza now, 1.9tdi...really like the Leon, not such a fan of the ibiza.
