the Strangest Thing!

[Trog]

I was tincking around with the Mog the other day and a nice young lady wandered across and said "Can I smell the inside of your Morris?" Slightly surprised I opened the door and she popped her head in the car to inhale. With that she wandered off grinning and I'm sure I caught a twinkle in her eye.

Make a fortune if I can bottle it!

Did you get her phone number?
She'd love my old car smell .

The same thing happened to my brother at the tip after he hasd just dumped some fairly smelly stuff!

[d_harris]

Actually, I was in the very early stages of dumping it and had only just opened the rear doors. The bloke commented "they all smell the same dont they!?" Even though the car was full of binbags of general household waste (you know, the stuff that normally goes in the wheely bin...)

[limegreen]

I often get comments on the smell too...
though she is running a little rich!

[MarkyB]

the car was full of binbags of general household waste

MMMM, Eau de dustcart.
Very evocative

[Trog]

It's happened again this time an American tourist in Wimborne......."I just gotta get a picture" she exclaimed chest swelling with pride I took a pose for the camera. "NO NO!!" she snapped "not you just the car!!"

[irmscher]

how much do you want for that car its a magnet for females

[Trog]

It was Some toe rag stoved the front end in and did a runner on Friday night outside my place

[irmscher]

sorry to hear that trog any of the neighbours got cctv worth asking

[Trog]

The car park has CCTV but when I asked the security chaps the answer was "that camera ain't worked for ages"

I spoke to my insurance company today (Carol Nash)and they are happy I'm covered with £100 excess Only problem I can see is if they declare the car a Cat C write off, I reckon' the damage in parts alone will be £4/500 and the car only cost me £670 [frame][/frame]

[d_harris]

Sorry to hear that, there really are some little gits out there!

Whats actually damaged?

[Trog]

The front panel/grill is pushed back into the rad I took the front bumper off last week to do a referb job on it or find a better one Don't think it would have made much difference on or off as the impact is in the middle of the grille

[MarkyB]

Is the rad leaking now?

[Trog]

Rad looks to be tight but has had a good thump....can't pull things apart and have a good look til the insurance chap has been AAARRRRGGG! It's like leaving a child in pain

[d_harris]

If its only the front panel (and rad?) thats damaged then its going to be pretty easy repair job. I'd not even bother with the insurance tbh.

Not worth having the claim on file.

[irmscher]

trog i think you will be able to get the parts cheap like dan says i wouldnt bother with a claim as its easy to put right and saves filling the forms in every year explaining

[RogerRust]

I was parked at Thetford Forest one day and a lady dashed over, here we go I thought, to my supprise she said "I was born in one of those" apparently they were too late to get to the hospital. I've heard of people beed concieved in a Morris but not many deliveries.
