OOOPS had an accident

[cortinasgoneforaburton]

Hi all had a bit of a incident swapping cars around in the container, needed to get mk1 at the front of container (door end) so pulled it out put my mk2 granny in the drove the mk1 in. i got the front wheels in then a little wheel spin caused the drivers side ramp to colapse droppin the mk1 on its rear drivers quarter, my mate who was doing the watching had the good sense to lean on bonnet this levelled the car up, but id already took my foot off brake backwards followed by downwards. Amazingly its only dented the front valence bent the front bumper, knocked number plate off and scratched the door it happened so fast that no one took a pic of it fallin so you have only got the aftermath

Suprised those planks even took the weight before it fell off!

Thats one hefty car driving on two skinny bits of wood.

Well at least your cars are on the calendar this month so that should cheer you up a bit

Let me do 3 replys in one love the new user name suggestion that made me chuckle as for the planks i tested them with my transit pick up with a load on it jesus did they bend and yes Jo the front looks a lot better on the wall now its April. The only thing that doesnt make me want to cry is that its a patched up mk1 granny that has the wrong engine and interior in it if it was a minter id be gutted, but its all mine and i love it, it will be at Classic Ford Show
