Way back in November I had a car accident (http://www.northstandchat.biz/showthread.php?s=&threadid=59734). Not my fault - passenger in car coming the other way pulled the hand brake putting a car into a spin in my path where upon I hit it. The front of my car was trashed and it has been repaired...and repaired...and repaired.
This morning I returned the courtesy car, again, and was reunited with my pride and joy, again. I was happily driving to work - the sun was out and the roof was down, it's a Friday and the World Cup starts today. All was well.
And then I went through some traffic lights which were green. And then a car who hadn't seen me turned right directly in my path. And then I ploughed into them completely trashing the front of my car. The world stopped briefly as I sat there in the middle of the road with my car making some very strange noises. I reflected on the other car which, by this time, was embedded in a traffic light and I thought "I don't bloody believe this has happened again."
No-one was hurt, which is always the good thing in these situations. My car - I hope it's a write-off - I'm not sure I'd ever trust a car that has had two big smashes to the front. Curiously (worryingly?) the airbag, which deployed last time, did not this time and I think the impact was greater. I've got a sore neck and a bit of a headache coming on so I might go to a doctor just in case.
Anyway, enough about me, how is your day going?
