Bumper split in half under the left lamp.....left lamp no longer there!....radiator and AC condenser completely destroyed, alloy crash bar deformed about three inches, and due to the running on for the few miles with NO water at all in the system the engine was seized solid. I sense the probability of someone resurrecting the train and chicken gun story is approaching one . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying thing is had it been a hundred yards further up the road Epping Council would have taken the car away for free, as it was Chingford (I think) I had to pay to get it taken away...........but I did strip everything of value off the car before it got taken, felt like a real Pikey dismantling the poor BX at the side of the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed not to hit them, but they gave me a hell of a fright. You do see their corpses on the roadside quite often. They're sturdy little buggers, so I can only imagine the damage they might do if you hit them. I had something similar jump out when working as an ice cream man with a van near Chicago one summer many, many years ago. The van was a shed, it was an old US post office van with two wires to twist together to start it and the dodgiest brakes I've ever experienced. Freezer for the ice cream was a chest freezer with a block of dry ice. Happy days ........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
