Stuart21UK Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 A new attachment to my 981 that I didn't want this afternoon....a towbar....with attached Freelander... The guy that reversed into me (in stationary traffic) to let out someone from a side road was thoroughly apologetic and said it was his fault...(I have dash cam footage to prove it anyway ) A friendly passer by got out his adjustable spanners and removed the tow bar to release me... Now I have an insurance claim pending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin G Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Bummer Stuart, I suppose at least he didn't try to drive off with you still attached Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris H1AVFC Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Ouch!! Hopefully its just trim & theres no oil cooler behind there! Looks like Freelander parking sensors don't pick up Boxsters or the driver was deaf/ignoring the sensors screaming at them! Fingers crossed it gets sorted a.s.a.p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Mac Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Sorry to hear this Stu - hope it's hassle free to sort. Free Freelander though #EveryCloud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Freelander though #EveryCloud ..had one a few years back and although a diesel it was almost as bad at fuel economy as the Boxster! In fact the only good thing about it was the ability to park where you wanted (village greens, fields etc) and the fact it retained its value so when we px'd it for the Peugeot they gave US £6000 cash plus the Peugeot in exchange for them taking the Freelander!

Nimmo12 Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Commiserations . Don't use this as an excuse to trade on to a 718. I tend not to be so affectionate to my cars once damaged but this does look fairly minor. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toeside Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 That's a bummer! Thankfully some one helped to sort it out at the scene. Could have caused a lot of damage! Dashcam's very useful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
