Your fleet running reports

[dan]

Got some carbon brakes for my elise, no idea if they'll work but they look clever.

On the way back from the shops in the Zoe, the car in front made a sudden stop to let a pedestrian cross. I stopped in time, car behind me didn't. Sigh...

Car that caused the thing drove off, guy that hit me didn't.

A bit shook up. Car will need need bumper and boot lid that I can see. Don't look like there's too much other damage.

[16vCento]

Ah thats not good

They are surprisingly cheap to repair though, hope all gets sorted easily for you

[DeskJockey]

Cheers.

At least the Krispy Kreme donuts helped (they may have fallen into the trolley in the supermarket).

[mik]

Oh FFS, you’ve only just got it

[DeskJockey]

Yup. And we've only just finished with the claim from last year when someone ran into the back of the Galaxy.

People seem to forget the thing that passes your driving test is not “good driving” but smooth and predictable driving. Twats

New car incoming.

2012 V60 D5 ES.

Base spec with biggest engine!

Bought from a chap I know who's had it from being 2 year old, has just had all belts and clutch and dmf replaced, and has a factory fitted towbar so I can leave the XF alone for now.

Also has my S60s wheels fitted to it so I get them back .

Can't wait to have a Volvo again.

Need to sell the Peugeot now as we're upto 4 cars

This pisses me off. If there’s nobody behind you then do what you like, but don’t make everyone brake because you want to be nice!

Hope it’s a cheap and easy fix.

[JonMad]

Sorry to hear that Alex. Glad you're ok. Grr, people

One of the last with the 5 cyl ?

[DeskJockey]

So, claim is in. I guess the silver lining compared to last time is that the driver didn't run, has insurance, and have given the right details.

Yep a proper D5, not just a badge!

The 2.0 4 cylinder ones seem to have a reputation for not being very reliable.

I do have a soft spot for the Ovlovs. I'll a have dark grey manual 240GLT estate, 164, and obviously a P1800, and maybe a 544.

Get a dashcam, you'd have got the little shits license plate and been able to show it to the polis. I mean, whether they'd do anything is debatable, but at least you'd have it.

Cool, I only found out recently they fitted it to the V40 hatch for a while, which I always assumed was 4 cylinder only

[16vCento]

Yeah a chap I work with had a V40 D5, it was quite a nippy thing as its only a Focus sized car, was great on fuel as well.

Wouldn’t have mattered any way - Highway Code states you need to be able to stop in the distance you can see to be clear - ergo anticipate unexpected shizzle. Alex did so. Person following him didn’t - hence they are held responsible.

[Beany]

Yeah, that's a fair point actually. It still could be useful if insurance get arsey or if the person behind had argued the toss.

Yes. We got a picture of him speeding away which helped. Am considering a dash cam
