    Well... It happened again. What are the chances? Twice now in a four-month period, someone has run into the back of my car!

    This time was far less severe, thankfully. It looks like only light damage to the bumper cover. Bizarrely it was a tiny Citroen C1 that caused lots of damage the last time, but this time it was a big Transit and it did very little!




    This time it's being sent to Howard Basford in Crewe for repairs. They are taking a look at the damage on Tuesday, and we will take things from there.

    Ho hum.

    MF.

    Oh no! Your really not having a lot of luck with drivers behind you! Maybe you should put some kind of warning sticker on?

    Good luck with the repairs hopefully it will be done first time!

    Ha! I think they must get distracted by the VWAudiforum.co.uk sticker in my back window!

    How about some sort of automated Gatling gun that fires if a 1 foot barrier is breached?

    Very sorry to hear that again MF, I can't believe your luck.

    Have you considered becoming a full time crash test dummy for Audi? I'd say you're almost fully trained up already!

    If I could get one, I'd be a happy muppet!

    Thanks! At least there are no squeaks or rattles - even after two rear-end shunts. The car doesn't squeak or rattle either

    Ever the optimist, I like it. That really is something though, you'd have expected one or two squeaks with the panels being bent out of shape/place.

    Jeez!

    Welcome back stranger!!

    There's me organizing another search party for you!

    You seem to have no luck with your C7 at all, suppose that's the same with me and the A3?

    Hope it's rectified first time!

    Just so you know, Howard Basford are the morons that broke the hub on mine when replacing the bearing and then tried to charge for the part they'd broken.

    They also raised invoices payable without full disclosure of charges.

    My employer was less than impressed with their work ethics...

    Be on your guard, you should be.
