Re: [doc] Oh dear......... was this my fault?......

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had a similar experience, though nothing to do with the D. Driving out 
of Wokingham after work, hot day, girl in tight shorts on bike.... need 
I say more. I was in the Xantia which has rather marvellous brakes and 
pulled me up inches from the car that had suddenly stopped in front of 
me. Better evidently than the MX5 who piled into the back of me, also 
gawping at said young lady. We both realised we'd been doing the same 
thing but at the end of the day, I stopped, he didn't. He claimed he 
never even saw my brake lights! £50 for replacement of a beautifully 
designed removable section of my rear bumper, and over £900 to fix his 
front wing which was bent so badly the o/s front wheel wouldn't turn....
