Combining a slope, Dutch traffic jams, a slippery brake-pedal, a boring car and a cool Yellow one can lead to the following:

Last week, I accidentily slipped off my brake pedal while I was standing on a slope. In front of my Yellow Beauty, a brand-new Volvo XC90 was waiting in front of me... The guy was on his way from the dealer to a customer... My speed was below 5km/h when I hit him, but gravity did it's job when I hit the "armoured car", which a Volvo is, in my opinion :(

Too bad. Maybe I should ask the bodyshop to put the facelifted FR-bumper on it! :whistle:

well, it's not only the grille, there are quite a few cracks in the bumper... let's just hope it will be replaced :funk:

not too slippery, but my new (and wet) shoes did it :'(
This afternoon, the car is checked by an expert.... fingers crossed I can convince him to put a FR or Cupra bumper on it ;-)
