Was taking my son karting and had picked the kart trailer up from my parents and parked up on my driveway,loaded car up and then went to set off, got in car and my son was rabbiting on and I totally lost my consentration as I reversed off the driveway and yup I forgot the trailer was on the back!!
Reversed back about 6 foot till the trailer jack knifed into my rear 1/4/ light/ bumper
the photo doesn't really show the bumper damage much but it is badly scraped, the dent in the 1/4 is a lot worse than I was expecting considering I was on my bloody drive!! It's pushed in from halfway up the light.

It's going into my m8's body shop on monday to be fixed thankfully

gutter mate could of been worse tho

 

Bugger! Be an easy fix tho.

How'd your son get on at the karting? Hopefully better than you gettin him there? Lol

 

Gutted. I did that years ago, in middle of a farmers field, pitch black, rain. I did it with my old double cab Toyota pickup. Wheel spinning everywhere.

 

Wounder! Should've taken some driving with a trailer lessons from fudgey

I dented a Rover i had twice in a week with the most bizarre of circumstances too!

 

I cracked the back light on my transit with the front bumper of a capri i had on my trailer as i was reversing round a corner. I had the car as far forward as i could on the trailer, to avoid any fudge packer esque moments!

 

any damage behind the bumper?

 

should allways drive of a drive and not reverse just a thought....

 

Doh!

When i bought my rst it had a tow bar and a horrible dent in ns rear 1/4 from a silly towing accident

 

did you blame your son for the accident lol!!

Bit of a gutter fella, hopefully your mate can get it good as new.

 

Gutted for ya mate...But like said it should be an easy fix...
