Homer Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Bit of an unfortunate spot this. I was approaching a queue of traffic and see a black Supra turning left at a set of lights, not one I've seen before so was going to give a flash and a thumps up... Then, this 20 ton tipper lorry in the right lane drifts over into the left turn lane hitting the supra in the read quarter Obviously I stopped and gave my details to the poor lady owner - who was understandably distressed. The truck driver was acting like a complete tw*t and only stopped shouting at her when I approached, he was trying to say it was her fault... Damage looked pretty nasty, the rear quarter was pushed in and had lifted the boot lid a bit, certainly going to need a new wing Also gave her a card for the club and said if she wanted any help or advice getting it repaired properly to come and say hello.

The Road Warrior Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Nice one for stepping in mate, good job you were around. The only thing missing on you is a cape Truck driver sounds like an idiot, hope she gets it sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I have seen a Chinese lady owner driving a black stock J-spec before today around here - I stopped behind her around 6 months ago while she was parked at a bus stop and gave her a card - she does not have internet access so, the car was not much use! She was looking for a new headlight at the time due to the yellow/condensation in one. I thought it might sound mad if I told her to cook it in the oven Hope she is OK, nice one Homer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 Gav, it was K*** *** but as discussed, not who you thought it might be! Peter, nope, white lady late 30's. Got a couple of texts from her since saying she's informed the drivers transport manager of his behaviour. Hopefully he'll get a right bollocking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Nice work homer , far too many people don't want to help people out these days. Just wish someone like you were around a month ago when a guy got out of his car and tried to get my girlfriend out the car to punch her! Not one person got out of there safe bubble to help her! I hope the lorry driver gets a right arse kicking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
