Few years ago now.

My loverly XR2



Parked up and went to get dinner from the chippy. Ordered then heard a load bang and turned around to see my car bouncing off a Corsa parked in front. Turned out the fella driving the car that hit the back of mine had had a stroke and hit the throttle pedal! I take comfort that my car took the brunt of the force as there were kids in the Corsa in front. Things could have been so much worse!






Replaced with a 1.4s that I fitted with the XR2 running gear from the red car



Almost 6 month to the day that my XR2 was wrote off some twerp from a local ford dealer decided to use my 1.4s as a brake He was in a KA and drove off (after exchanging details), my car wasn't so lucky
