Two weeks after I bought my van, some nit crashed into it when it was parked up and did a runner:

This is what it looked like:



So I fixed the van back up with a new door, got it signwritten, and then some idiot couldn't put his handbrake on in a car park and his car rolled into my van:



The police have been involved, the guy has admitted liability, and his insurance will be covering the damage, but can you believe that my van - THE SAME DOOR - has been crashed into by other cars; TWICE in the space of about three weeks.

Wor Lass wasn't happy!

[Steven Shoreditch]

Sorry to see that.

Third time lucky?

[Smudger]

shame you had it fixed could have claimed for the original damage off the second driver 

well Tosh, you know what they say........................

Gutted mate, least you aint gotta pay for it this time.

[Richy L]

It might be worth making your drive bigger and keeping it off the road?

[Pole 2 Pole]

What part of the world are you in tosh? I'll avoid it like the plague :-)

[bad trippy]

Sure it aint squeaky doing this Tosh?

[Spruce]

Hi Tosh
Sorry about the van - but its not all bad news. You replaced the door from the first accident but you didn't repair the sill damage. Now that will be taken care of. Unfortunately it will be away a few days in the paint shop.

I keep it on the drive all the time now; the drive's big enough; this last accident happened in the library carpark, right down the bottom end facing the castle.  If my van wasn't there, the other car that rolled into me may have went down the bank.

The guy has spoken to the police and he's accepted all liability; the copper gave him a telling off; saying he could've hurt/killed a child (it nearly got me; I just got in the van when it hit the door; a second earlier and I may have been in hospital with broken/crushed legs; or badly bruised at the least).

Unbelievable mate!

But You gotta laugh 

That's my attitude!  What's the chances of that though?

[groundhog]

It looks just like my van now... I reversed it into a roller on a building site!! another reason why I hate builders cleans!!!!!!!!  

[TomCrowther]

It's because your living in the twilight zone Tosh.
If you hadn't been so organised the original bashed door would still have been on. The rest of us would have taken months to replace it so you only have yourself to blame.

whilst im gutted for you i find myself laughing

it looks like you did a good job of fixing that trim back on.

Yeh, hopefully that's my run of bad luck out of the way! 

And I stuck that trim back on with Tiger Seal; it's cracking stuff - designed for fixing stuff to vehicles - about £8 a tube from e-bay.  Your mate, the one that fixed the door in the first place, recommended it.

Same door, same place, no other damage - just like the first time, and both times my vehicle was stationery - I mean what's the chances of that?

Of course, Wor Lass reckons it was my fault; she says I shouldn't have been in the car park skiving in the first place (I called to get a Greggs pasty and use the toilet)!  Rolly eyes!!!
