Driving home yesterday, turn off the roundabout and traffic is stopped in front of me to let an ambulance down the road. Pulled into the side and came to a halt, unfortunately the white van driver behind me decided to keep going and ran into the back of my c class. Almighty bang and I got out expecting the back end to be mangled. Fortunately not much damage, but boot is a bit stiff shutting.
Going to garage on monday to have damage assessed.
To be honest, I could be done without the hassle as we're driving down to England in 10 days. Hopefully will be all sorted before then.
Totally pissed off.

Sorry about the accident, Phantasm. Hope you're up and running again in time for your vacation!
BTW, I sorted your duplicate-thread issue.

Re: White van man strikes again.
LMAO! Nice interpretation. I didn't see it that way. I saw "white van" not "white driver of the van". AH, the language is never forgiving.Vader wrote:Kill all the white peoplePhantasm wrote:... the white van driver behind me ...

Glad to hear you're OK with minimal damage, Phantasm. Next time you see the white van man, try not to give him the boot.
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want
to test a man's character, give him power.

When I was in middle school there was one white van that would stop by our playground semi-frequently and developed the reputation of being a child stalker.sgt.null wrote:glad you are ok.
but hoenstly i was expecting some sort of urban legend from the post title.
Probably we were total morons. Probably.
Then one day, "little Sally" disappeared, and the white van never showed up again...
