    Let's play "Chicken"!

    I was just involved in a head-on accident at 8.35pm tonight in my partner's car.

    I'd stopped in the turning bay to turn right into my street when a Primera decided to play “chicken”. Thinking someone was just trying to give me a scare (actually fucken did), he drove straight into the front driver’s side of the car.

    One hell of a bang, both airbags fired and one poor Celica spun backwards 90°! Car is totalled with frontal damage and right front wheel folded under wheel arch.

    Quite stunned, I got out of the car to find several people already gathering and a nice lady telling me she saw the whole thing as she was following the other driver. I think the young driver may have been distracted, as the contents of his McDonalds milkshake were all over the inside of the windscreen!

    Anyway thing’s really get interesting now as the Celica can’t be moved, so two witnesses position their cars with hazard lights to warn other motorists. Three of us are standing by the Celica, when all of a sudden, a Commodore runs into the back of one of the witnesses cars (Lancer). Cops arrive and it turns out the Commodore driver has been drinking and the poor girl with the Lancer has no insurance!

    What a shit night! I guess I'll be handing over my car to my partner and riding the bike to work for a while!

    Feel like I've spent the day barefooting, so I know how my neck will feel in the morning.

    I'm just pleased you're here and typing this.

    Once you get hooked on riding the bike to work you won't be able to stop!
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    You'll be feeling down because of the inconveniece of it all no doubt, but that'll pass !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    I don't think it'll be too inconvenient as it turns out Bill! Tracy plans to borrow a car she partly owns.
