Steering wheel + horn + logo + oldies + fist = dent

Hi all,

I recently had a run in with two doddery types in a Toyota Kitchenappliance, who pulled out right in front of me on a wet day, requiring a speedy lane change to that which I thought they weren't vaguely drifting towards and a dive at the horn (to which they managed to remain blithely oblivious).

I noticed afterwards to my horror that the Mini badge on my steering wheel is now dented, squished and has a sharp bit poking up at the side (the corner of the wing).

I would hardly call myself dainty, but am I really such a heavyhanded klutz???

Surely if you're sticking something exactly where people are bashing in an emergency it should possess something vaguely resembling strength, not just give in like a - hmm, I'll avoid analogies as they usually get me in trouble, but I'm sure you get the point...

So now I'm all upset as my lovely new Mini's tainted, and I dread to think what they charge for a replacement badge - which will likely get all smushed up again should an emergency arise once more.

Am I alone in having done this? Do I perhaps possess some remarkable Amazonian strength I could make a few bucks from? Questions! Questions!

MsAmy.
