Igors Dented Mini

Igor thinks that Igors Mini has a magnetic personality, so magnetic infact that other cars like to meet mini, usually the other cars are going quite fast.

Take Saturday.

Igor was going out of a car park and was hit on the drivers side door by another reversing car.

...and today when Igor was going to work he was hit on the passenger side door going around a roundabout.

Igor is not despondant though.

Both accidents were not Igors fault, and Igor will get the door dent fixed (done by nasty person over christmas), and the Scratch on the wing mirror (done when Igor got too close to garage wall).

Sorry to hear that, Igor. Luckily it was only the door panel - if Dent Master can't fix it, it's easy to replace (unlike a rear fender/wing panel).

They deserve to have a pot of boiling oil poured over them

Igor says thank you for your responses.

In answer to your questions statements Igor says...

chiph - Igor thinks the person who hit on Saturday was very nice and apolgetic, they pulled out without looking, though the one today was nasty and shouted at Igor, lucky Igor has a good witness, a Policewoman who say accident said other was at fault

Hat - Both accidents were not Igor fault

KenL - Igor used horn on both occasions but didn't stop them from hitting Mini

Anand - Thanks, but although Igor loves Mini - it is a car and cars can be fixed

Kinster - Igor is a child of the world

shamster - Igor wonders if you know any good degussers ?

Wobert123 thinks Igor should think himself lucky....as he now has a symmetrical car again albeit with damage!

Take care!

MINImeat thinks Igor is lucky. It's much harder waiting for the first dent/scratch.
Guess it's all part of MINIitis....

BillK is sorry for Igor's troubles. BillK has had several people drive into BillK's stopped cars in the past. Many people just don't seem to watch where they are going. BillK has also avoided a great many accidents by defensive driving. BillK thinks Igor should practice the same and be able to avoid some of these accidents. Defensice driving can help avoid most accidents, except from people who drive in to the back of your car when you are stopped.

BillK has a soft spot for Igor and enjoys his posts, but BillK can't keep the third person bit up for very long. BillK hopes Igor's mum is still doing well.
