Fitz Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Didn't think this really suited Supra chat so I thought I'd throw it in here. After what seemed a good day today, with everything going 'well' Me and a friend were heading back from the gym and decided to stop off at Asda to pick a few things up. I decided to park (for what reason I'll never know) in the middle next to the walkway with the 'trolley guard' bit of a tight space but thought "no problem". Checked the passenger side (where the trolley guard was) all lined up nicely not to hit it, then realised I would brush the car next to me (on the right) so adjusted to go slightly wider and forgot to recheck the passenger side and all of a sudden....the car wont go backwards anymore. So I stop, lean over a bit and see the trolley guard half way in the wheel arch. So I drove forward and parked it properly (what I should have done in the first place) got out hoping for there to be nothing as I wasn't going fast...but, alas there is now a 'nice' dent (which has creased the metal) and paint chipped off down the side right above the passenger rear wheel arch. Now I know this is my fault entirely as I should have checked the mirrors properly or parked somewhere else so I'm not blaming anyone but myself. It is fixable just a PITA to look at as I like to try and keep a certain upkeep for the Supra....ah well heres a pic.

TJP Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Fitz, sorry to hear what happened, you must be gutted. I had a slight mishap with my celica last week, scratched one of the alloy wheels badly, could have cried, so I know how you feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
