Whos a naughty boy then...
Took the Xantia to work today - a rare event due to the iffy area i work in..
Thought, Wife only does 70 miles a week, Let me stretch its [Xants] legs with a nice motorway run down the M55....[:p]
Parked up at work and scraped / cracked back colour coded bumper on wall.
4rse![xx(]
Still, when i got home wife was waiting to go out on a course at college, didnt notice bumper..... you can bet I will when she gets back and moan about the college car park![}:)][}:)][}:)]

Had a little practice and already booked one of those scratch and dent blokes to attend on Friday morning - will weld cracked plastic and also repaint bumper - £90.....
With luck the wife will offer to pay!
You can be sure if i had taken the ZX i either wouldnt have hit the wall, or wouldnt care if i had!

Those dent master blokes are brilliant and life savers as well. Remember when the now old shape asra was new (2000) well the wife had a brand new limited edditon SE1, Eruopa blue soft top with all and I mean all the bits. Well she got it home and I had a good look. Less that an hour later I'd managed to drop a full 3 teir tool box on the front bumper. Aaaargh a 6 inch scratch down to the metal. £60 later that day not even the slightest mark, nothing, nada. The dent master boys had saved me from a fate worse that death. So I know how your feeling. LOL

It worked, went out to empty bin, came back inside exclaiming what the blinking flip have you done etc etc[:0]
Wife claims her innocence and then decides must have been done in car park at college[;)] (as it was in secure car park at clinic all day yesterday - though has rough brick walls!!! he he he he)
So now to get it fixed and see if wife will pay? Am i tight, yep - but as i have just laid out £200 on a set of brand new Xantia Executive alloys, i had to think of something!

Marty,
Come clean, your sins will find you out!! Get it repaired and confess - don't you feel sorry for the poor lass??!!
She will think you the most wonderfully honest, upright person with a generous heart and be devoted for ever. She may even wash your underwear in future - and your LHM stained overalls.
