When the Wind doth blow.....

Has a Viva or other classic been stolen? Have you been a victim of crime? Let everyone know, we may find it and get back that much loved car! :missu:

When the Wind doth blow.....

Hi All,
Heard a crash outside about 9:00 this morning - my trailer,which has been stood up and well chocked up against a concrete fence post in the back yard for over six months now,decided to come crashing down on my firenza :( :cry:

I'm positively gutted :(
Oh well,let this be a warning to all - "When the wind doth blow",make sure anything that could fall on your car is out of the way or well secured!
Looks like Billing in a non-Vaux this year now.

Heyup mate! Didn't know you was on here! :wink:
I suppose the trailer hit the car in the best possible place really to minimalize the damage (if there is a best place for something to fall on your car :oops: )
Funnily enough,the thought "I'm gonna sell it now :evil: " did go through my head,but only for a minute!
I've backed the Beetle project outta the garage,and Orange is currently residing in there with the snoot....Well, i was gonna pull her off the road soon for the little mods :twisted: anyway,so what the heck?!

Now i've put my dummy back in :lol: ,i've pulled the majority of the dent out,and the car's over at my mate's bodyshop for the rest of the repair (bit of pudding and some paint,for i am no sculptor/artist :lol: ).
Got a set of avons finally finished for her,and some nice new tyres on :)

Hopefully should be fitting Bib Spoiler i bought off Andy (Bodyworx) before repair gets painted (kill 2 birds with one stone,so to speak).
Have knocked up a nice new set of Stainless Avon nuts too,so with a bit of luck the firenza should make it to billing after all! :D 8)

Hi Jon :)
I Pulled the majority of the dent out with a slide hammer :lol:
Just been down to my mates garage and it's in primer now - he says it'll get painted this afternoon,and he'll buff it up over the weekend at some point,so right now i'm well chuffed :D
See you at Billing mate :mrgreen:
