What did you do with your Grenadier today?

Thanks a lot. Yes indeed, she behaves very well on the snow and ice, those tyres are excellent.

Absolutely gutted here but hoping it doesn’t take too long to get sorted.

Nothing i say can make you feel any better, I know i would feel sick it were me.in your situation. Just so sorry for you, as everyone always says, at least nobody was hurt. Doesn't make you feel any better about it but it's all you can be grateful for.
I would hate the wife to get hit in her little Panda,,, she's makes an amazing steak and ale pie

Standard, dicky/cheeky 4x4 forum response - it'll buff out

Seriously though, as I said in conversation with Stu yesterday - stuff can be repaired or replaced but it's much harder with people. I'm glad everyone is OK.

Well I got crashed into by an old Defender.

Bit snowy. He came round a bend, locked up, couldn’t slow, couldn’t steer, slid into “my” side of the road and crunch. Everyone ok. I drove home (just a mile or so) but losing coolant.

Bugger.

New wing, wing top, headlight, duct for the cooler (is that the PAS cooler on that side?), some plastic bumper bits and wheel arch, arch liner. Hooefully just a water hose but maybe the rad took a knock.

“Revenge of the Defender” (Seriously, so sorry this happened to you, I know how hard it is to get that first scratch on a new car, let alone this ). Bill

Thanks all, yes absolutely, my wife and daughter were in the car and the other fella had his wife and two dogs. Everyone completely fine. It was actually a very low speed impact, just frustrating.

The cheeky bugger actually said “bloody pretend defenders!” and I replied “shame your bloody Defender didn’t have ABS”

I have a pic (I won’t share yet) of the tyre marks that make it pretty clear what happened and exonorates me I think.

These things happen, just a bloody shame.
