First crash boo hoo

[Munco]

Well I knew the size would be an issue!!!

Got up late 6.59am need to pick up my car share at 7:15am who lives 5 miles away, so super fast wash and clean the teeth, throw my clothes on and Im out the house and in the car at 7:08am
into revers zoom ofo the drive then beep beep beep beeeeeeeeeeeeeep smash!!! before is could even stop I'd samshed into next doors wheelie bin (rubbish collection today) luckly is was still standing..sadly nice chipped rear bumper....... halfords at lunch to get some paint. Its not too bad but it sticks out as the undercoat is black. but I have noticed the sensors only work when I am very close to things....but there is no excuse...I'm a twerp

Sorry to hear that, have to say size is something that could be a problem for me too, it's quite tight round the back of our house and a sharp turn into the parking place, so I've had front parking sensors fitted to help. Think it could be a few turns to get it parked, but if did manage to get my Mazda pickup parked there so fingers crossed!

sorry to hear this, but glad it was a movable plastic wheelie bin, at least no structural damage!
I managed to scrape a wheel on MrsW's SMax last week.....gnash gnash grrr....

If you can reverse park onto your drive then city safety might have prevented a smash going forwards (assuming you can't get above 30mph before reaching next doors bin!) .

Went to Halfords to get some touch up paint and they do not do Volvo white, and if they did it would of been £16..WTF

So went to the dealer and expecting a £20 bill...all they wanted was £8.25 result
