Less than 24 hours!

After waiting 3 months for it, I collected my brand new car yesterday afternoon. It had only 5 miles on the clock.

Today, Pia and I were headed to IKEA and a lady crashed into the back of it. It now needs a few thousand pounds worth of repairs.

A sense of humour may help here - If "God is able and faithful" maybe he/she/it can lend a hand there

A female friend of mine was waving to the salespeople as she left the showroom in the UK and the same thing happened, but her car was "a right off".

Sorry to read your bad news Piamed :-(

I sympathize you amigo, i know how u feel, when my Dad's car banged into a tricycle few months ago I can't imagine how he felt the tricycle driver was so reckless and driving without license gosh only in the Philippines but somehow my Dad manage to calm down coz after that incident nobody hurts..still thank God

[KeithD]

At least you had a new car to be hit.....ordered a Mazda 5 SatNav back in July, and discovered the other day the dealer only put the order in last week and delivery is Feb 09 ........What the are they doing? You'd think they'd want the £22,000 sale in the present climate!

I've cancelled it now, I'll order a Nissan QashQai+2 SatNav next week, and hope those Geordies build faster!

[walesrob]

QashQai+2

What a funny name for a car Is it CashKey, KoshKi? Kwashkie? Somehow a Vauxhall Astra seems a bit dull in comparison.

GEORDIES !!
Nissan is in Snderland built by Mackems
You southerners don't understand the difference between Geordies and Mackems
hope all the pieces of your new car are in the correct place

Hahaha! Minis are so expensive. But they are nice cars.

I was certainly disappointed but was happy to know that the baby in the other car was ok. The husband and wife were both clearly very sorry and embarassed but c'est la vie. God has sorted it already, it will go in for repairs next week and I will have a replacement in the meantime.

I guess I am now one of the very elite group of people that have crashed their brand new cars within 24 hours.

It happens so often here that drivers dont have insurance. It's not so nice. The other car had smashed lights, etc. and I am sure that they do not have adequate insurance to get their own car fixed. The husband did not look to amused with the wife.

Wow! that's incredible. Maybe the dealer did not have a good enough credit ranking to place the order earlier given the current financial climate. That is really unacceptable though.

Mazda 5's are nice. I'm not sure I've seen the QashQai+2. I'll look it up. I got a 5 series sport but it's now almost the same size as the 3. Hey it's only a car, di ba? or N'est pa? or Ain't it?

More to do with the production line, only running off T2's for the next few months

"God" doesn't exist

What am I going to do with you mate?

[aromulus]

What am I going to do with you mate?

From pranged cars to a religious debate......

This is going to get interesting.....

Any football while we are at it....????

[aposhark]

What am I going to do with you mate?

Stop talking about "God" (what is that???) all the time and discuss concrete facts and we will get along famously

[joebloggs]

What am I going to do with you mate?

save him toks, looks like mission impossible thou

i use to work with a Libyan, he said he had to save me, so i wouldn't go to hell , he kept going on about evil genies who lived in the mountains,

crazy the things people have been conditioned into believing in

but we better not go there

[Sconnie]

Ahhhh ha that got a bite !!!

Just getting the point across that calling a Mackem a Geordie is like calling a Manc a Scouse

Sorry Keith nerves are sensitive here in Geordie (laughing stock land) at the moment

[KeithD]

.....that calling a Mackem a Geordie is like calling a Manc a Scouse....

Did you hear that JOE???? Dat's fightin' talk......

[joebloggs]

Did you hear that JOE???? Dat's fightin' talk......

i don't know what's worse, being called a southerner or a scouser

Sorry to hear about that.

The same happened to me a few years back, my car was only 3 weeks old.
And after the repairs it never felt "right"...

You couldn't go right must have made driving intresting.

Im glad Pia and your good self ok. Its only a car they can be replaced..

Yup, it never feels the same after the first prang. I'll put it in the garage on Tuesday hopefully.

OO, she certainly will do. Gonna cost her plenty!

The lady is still alive?

There is a French expression: "Femme au volant, la mort au tournant" (if women are driving, death crash at next turn...)

[KeithD]

I'd be more embarrassed about admitting on a public forum you go to Ikea

5 miles only!!!?!!

Did you loose your temper?

I would have gone crazy! A car is like a girlfriend to me.

Expensive to run, and blows out a lot of hot air!!!

YCheers mate. eah, you're right of course but it's such a shame to not be able to enjoy the car for at least one day before it ends up wrecked.

Err!!! Hmmn!! Nothing wrong with IKEA! I recently had to admit during a telecon with my boss etc. that i cannot go to a meeting as i have booked tickets to take Pia to see Barry Mannilow Live in Concert. I can't seem to live that one down.

Only a baby, not even a day old. Actually, I was calm as at the end of the day it could have been worse. All parties were unscathed. I was just disappointed and after ensuring they were all OK I could be heard muttering the words, 'It's not even a day old' on a number of occasions.

Expensive to run, and blows out a lot of hot air!!!

Ladies, I disassociate myself from that remark. I don't want to have to sleep with my eyes open

Bumper and skirting have been ordered and the car goes in on Wednesday hopefully and out Thursday. Actually, it's my fault, I was a little bit too proud of it perhaps

[Piamed]

Got it back. As good as new!

[KeithD]

Got it back. As good as new!

Got the Mazda cancelled and ordered the Nissan Qashqai+2 today, should have it in 3 weeks.....I'll stay away from Ikea
