So just trying to pass around the steemit love into the real world, I just happened to be at the CoOp getting a bottle of fizz for the Mrs when an elderly disabled gentleman started reversing his Ford Focus into a space with his car so far over into the next bay, there was no way he could do it without damaging the Ford Fiesta in that space. I pipped my horn and waved quite frantically to let him know there was no way he was going to make it so he pulled forward a bit and I thought he'd straighten himself up and try again but no... jammed it back into reverse and had another go crunching his left hand rear bumper corner into the Fiestas left hand rear bumper corner. I actually watched him do it after warning him he couldn't make it. Despair. I parked my car and gave the lady who owned the Fiesta my card as she was there in a flash and helped everyone take pics and exchange details and also passed them my friends details who owns a local paint shop so they could get it fixed properly at a fraction of the cost of them both going to Ford. It could happen to anyone and am pretty sure it has happened to us all really if we are honest. So let it go. Don't stress about a little paint repair. Have a nice bank holiday weekend everyone. I seem to have learnt quite a bit about cars over the years. If I can help or give anyone any advice I'd be happy to help. Ask me anything :)
