Blimey

I'll make sure to avoid mattresses in future

Glad she was ok though.

my thoughts exactly it's not as if it crept up on her i mean surely she could have avioded it!

Pretty gutting when she only picked it up that day!

Im not quite understanding the driving over a mattress bit

but a shame all the same.

OMG that poor MINI and a Cabrio too.........how sad......must have been a small mattress.......
Surely you would stop if you could not change lanes.....she must have seen it from far away.....you'd have thought anyhow.....but for that to happen on the day you pick it up....tragic!

Maybe she checked the air in her head, instead of her tyres and discovered she needed a top up.

Poor Girl! At least she lives to to tell the tale. No one hurt that's the main thing.

iain cooper · #13 (**permalink**) Jan 15th, 2009, 04:44 PM

maybe she was doing her makeup in the mirror ( so didn't see the mattress on the road ), and also had her music blasting away. ( so didn't hear the mattress being dragged along the road under the car )

but you would have thought she would have felt it through the steering ?

maybe not ?
