Bang on the clam

Post by The_Rossatron » Mon Apr 24, 2006 11:20 am

Some drunken bint fell on my front clam on Sunday! She hit it with a fair whack, looked bloody sore as I was sitting in the car at the time, she was with some sober guy who was pretty apologetic and she didn't seem to hurt herself badly.

But now I think I can wobble the left hand side by pulling on the wheel arch which I can't do with the right hand side.

I suppose I should have taken some details off the guy :oops:

Ha Ha (sarcastic laugh emoticon). No, I mean he's sitting there, sees it happen, you don't think it at the time, they disappear, you find out damage has been done, but too late. and you let them walk away.
Kind of irritated/frustrated irritation. The kind of thing that makes me mad- i guess similar to having an accident thats your fault. There's noone to blame and vent your anger on.


(phew).

Yup. Hellish feeling.

Things to check if it is actually moving a bit. Look under the arch and see if there's any tears in the fibreglass. They may not have broken the top surface, but it won't be long before stress cracks start if there is damage.

Shame, fella :(
