rik Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Bad luck mate. I did that exact same thing in a brand new company Escort van. And the person i hit..............was my boss in his Discovery. If the saxo is your daily runner, can't you sort it out on the cheap? Breakers yards must be littered with them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathman Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I feel for you. I did exactly the same thing in my Audi. Old dear in a Suzuki Alto pulled away at a roundabout, so I have looked right seen it clear and moved. Unfortunately she had stopped again and I went straight in to the back of her![OOPS][/OOPS] No damage to the Audi, but pretty much killed her Alto!!!
