My S40 Badly Damaged!

And all that within 5 minutes...

I think the Sun would make that a page 1 story!

Local man says: "Motorcyclist destroyed my car - and buggered off"

Sounds more like the Daily Sport to me

Then on page 3 said:

"I was driving the car, then I parked up for 5 mins or so (went to the shops). Sat in the car and saw TCS light on, drove the car anyway as I thought it could be a faulty sensor, and straight away I felt the steering position turning left.
Got out of the car to see if there's any damage, and saw the N/S wheel damaged. So I drove slowly and safely back home."


So I dunno really.

One of the member didn't understand correctly, so explained it in further detail.

I did mention the word 'could' be a motorcyclist.

"Could" have been.

It "could" have been the Marshmallow Man or 100 duck sized horses, they are both more likely than a motorcycle doing that kind of damage and then walking/riding away from it. How fast could the motorcycle have been going when it hit your car, (if one did .. ) based on the cars location in the cul-de-sac? Did you hear a motorcycle come past, followed by a loud bang, some scraping, and then the sound of a motorbike being started and ridden off again? They're pretty loud as I'm sure you are aware.

Maybe it were this fella...............................hi ho hi ho its off to kerb we go...

In my experience as a motorcyclist (22 years) and my experience of Cul de Sacs (39 years) I would say it is almost impossible for a motorcycle to get up to anywhere enough speed in a Cul de Sac to cause anything like this damage. Cul de Sacs are generally quite small with not a huge amount of room for manoeuvre making it almost impossible for a motorcycle to cause this, unless of course it came hurtling around a corner at speed and then as has been said there would be bits of bike and rider everywhere.

I do hold my hat off to you Zeb, you are doing an excellent job of standing by your story, however manufactured it is

Would this be the correct fitment for my car?
