Well I could of done with a pair of those on me as I almost shit myself when the bug wouldn't stop quickly enough and I ended up rear ending the car in front of me...no less than 50m after leaving my house to head down to the meet! Luckily all the damage was on my end and the other guy went on his way with only a tiny scratch. Me on the other hand came out a little worse!

Bent the bumper of the ground and pulled back into the driveway. Gutted, I went straight into the house to calm down with a cuppa tea. Was gonna knock it on the head and take the Van to the meet but after a few minutes when I'd stop cursing myself for my stupidity I headed out to assess the damage.

Luckily all the damage was confined to the Bonnet and the Bumper Brackets. Quickly stripped it all down and 30mins later with the hammer-n-dolly it was all put back together and I was on the road again to the meet. Needs a bit more work with the dolly and then I'll get the bonnet resprayed.

Made it to the meet and the run down in the sunshine with the Ragtop open cheered me up big-time!

I propose that this month we postpone it to Wednesday 24th July, as a one-off arrangement. In future we'll stick to the third Wednesday?
