not having a good month

bengie · 20-09-2006, 17:49

it all started 2 weeks ago when the van got broken into, they nicked the works pda and my bluetooth headset.

then a week later a stray bungee came loose from its mounting and twanged me in the nuts, very painful indeed.

then last weekend the van got done over again.

am now having to take part in investigatory interviews about the van getting broken into. w@nkers.

then today the following happened

whilst driving down a perfectly straight bit of dry road at abour 45-50(in a NSL) a deer decided it was time to bolt so i went into full on panic mode and hit the brakes whilst trying to turn round the bloody thing. long story short it lift off over steered into a hedge then caught on a stump and toppled over.

what the bloody hell is gonna happen next???

Did a nice lady in a Fabia stop and offer to tow you back onto the road?

Chris

skodaw · 20-09-2006, 17:52

Ah Lummox's post makes sense now!

The most important thing is you are OK and nobody was hurt. Sod the van that can be fixed.

Jeez bengie, you and me

Good thing is that you are alright, screw the van... it's one less white van on the road

biomulv · 20-09-2006, 17:55

Glad you are OK. Could have been different.

Works van , sod it.

Have done something similar myself in a works van and at the time i was more worried about it than myself. Ah how foolish I was.

Did anyone call the "hows my driving" number whilst it was there?

**VRStu** · 20-09-2006, 17:59

Is that from the Bengie Scholl of parking??

Ahh well mate, they say they happen in three's - you're up to four so only another two to go!!!!

postmanpat · 20-09-2006, 18:00

but are you having venison for tea

bengie · 20-09-2006, 18:05

no!!! successfully missed the little fecker!!

i'm fine other than a very random/vague feeling today, bit of a surreal day to be fair. my hunger is now also catching up on me after not having an appetite all day

very odd for me

DaveH · 20-09-2006, 18:13

Question is, do you now tell your own insurance company?

Octygone · 20-09-2006, 19:13

All I can say mate is Whoops..........still you must have used up about 10 years of bad luck so far......glad your OK

Fluffmeister · 20-09-2006, 21:47

Glad your ok m8,

remember, never hit anything in your car that's to large to polish off in one sitting.

johnjohnhealy · 20-09-2006, 22:26

I rolled a Tranny on the M1 once, trying to avoid a truck tyre that had blown out and de-laminated infront of us, it was a really old totally f*cked transit, D reg with those double rear wheels, the most dangerous part was all the tools and tins of paint flying of the shelves in the back onto the sleeping co-workers in their sleeping bags!!

Tin of paint on the head while rolling over wakes you up every time!!

johnjohnhealy · 20-09-2006, 22:28

04 plate? shouldn't that have ABS?

I notice you'd turned into the skid anyway, good work fella!!

back luck does seem to be following you around at the mo , hope you're ok

bpm · 21-09-2006, 00:41

Wow! Hope you're alright man. Time for a holiday methinks.

**GAFF** · 21-09-2006, 00:58

Ya Bengie I think BPM is right...take a holiday and lock yourself in the house so nothing else goes wrong

.

Good to hear your in one piece and on here able to tell the tale

Furby_Lass · 21-09-2006, 01:55

Maybe but didn't it flee the scene? No i mean if you have an accident in a vehicle other than your own, you should tell your own insurance company i think. Not sure many people do though.

devonutopia · 21-09-2006, 08:39

As good an effort as that was to join the Briskoda Inverted Members Association (BIMA) I'm afraid that doesn't quite qualify.

5/10 is my score though.

Trying to inject some

into a depressing time for you. Hope you were OK.

bengie · 21-09-2006, 09:33

cheers J

the van does indeed have ABS but its shockingly bad and ABS will never help against lift off over steer in a vehicle weighing 2.5 tonne

kenny · 21-09-2006, 10:00

im sorry to hear that mate, glad you are ok tho! and as said above, the van can be fixed.

most important thing is that your ok, oh and that your luck changes soon too!

**TaviaRS** · 21-09-2006, 10:11

Get a MINT card, shift the evil

Goochie · 21-09-2006, 10:15

I think you've done well actually, a friend of mine rolled a tractor and was struck mid roll by a flying adjustable spanner

knocked him out cold. Just as well you diddnt get a pair of wire cutters in the eye or something.
