[Steve_666]

Sparkly Mark? He hasn't has he?

[markL860TUP]

yep smacked it into a parked merc right out side of work
so far the damage is
front bumper
bonnet
both wings
all 4 headlights
charge cooler rad
gearbox oil cooler
and the bumper bar
also now need a full respray as the paint job can not be matched in
but its just one of those things and all my fault
still its coming back and thats the main thing

[Steve_666]

Sorry to here that mate, something lairy on the cards then?

[Redbeast]

unlucky mark, at least nobody hurt

[paul_gt4]

as said unlucky, but have to give it to you that you'll be back, many people just would sell them on or break them....... credit given were credits due, hope it comes back better and badder

Hard lines Mark, glad to see you're keeping it. No-one hurt tho?

[markL860TUP]

got to keep her its like one of the family and could not even think of
parting with her she gets picked up tomorrow and taken to a bodyshop
to find out the total cost if its to much for them then i`ll buy her back

also i`ve now got a silver one that i got for the wife kind of  just waiting for it
to come back from getting a new rear bumper and a flash over should be at mine
in about a week

2x205=410
185+205=390
Chris/Ceee 2x185=370
I'll make something of this at a later date

[ChrisW]

2x205=410
185+205=390
Chris/Ceee 2x185=370
I'll make something of this at a later date

I'm waiting with baited breath

[Jeff]

Well.... um///////?
Maybe BHP?
Lets try 1x205@300+1x205@?250=550
and my1x205@240+1x185@190=430
and from memory 1x185@315+1x185@230=545
subtract one from the other and....
mark=140
I=-40
and u=155
I dunno... just rambling

[Cee]

Sorry to hear about this Mark... you better get it done sparkly again though! 

[Driveby]

Gutted for you Mark

Unlucky dude, at least you crashed it properly, i reversed mine rather fast into a lampost, done the bumper, off side light cluster destroyed the rear quarter, didn't scratch the lampost though...... , got it back last week all nice n shiney again, luckily my missus loves the 205 so didn't mine me paying out for the repair
