Im a knob

[trakevlyn]

I had to put the battery on charge on the escort at the weekend so i popped the bonnet put battery charger on inner wing connected it up and thought i would leave the bonnet up while it charged. I tidied up a bit in the garage turned off the lights and closed the garage door half way down i thought to myself it was a little stiff so pushed a bit harder and it jammed so tried to lift it back up only to realise it had wedged itself against the bonnet pushing it down bending the bonnet stay in half and removing a large chip of paint from the middle of the bonnet I guess ive learnt a valuable lesson that i cant leave the bonnet up and close garage door in future

i left my escort at work in the carpark one night. came in in the morning and it had rolled back into a merc c class door we had just repaired....fooked the door on the merc, we had to get a new one!!

i moved my escort and told the boss that i think kids have been in the yard

Thanks for the heart warming support guys But the damage isnt that bad ive managed to straighten the bonnet stay and a bit of touch up will sort out the chip Im more worried that im having to use the escort as a daily driver at the mo thanks to a F.U.B.A.R by DVLA
