Sounds like you got off lightly with minimal damage then!
yep twice just hours apart, how bloody lucky as both times should of totalled the side and front of the car.
Its a right workhorse, even more so now, 248k miles on the cock, it drives like its got less than a third of that well it did do I think today is a sign its getting worn out and needs some new suspension components, trouble is its a workhorse bag of s**t, it would need a full renew like its a project and its not worth it but it is so relaible and bomb proof, maybe he should get another 1 next.
its happened a few times now it got smashed up a few months back, I fitted a new mirror and wing, the big crease line all the way up the side of the bonnet looks like a bodyline and the scrape in the door got colored in with them paint match pens with about 15 coats to fill the dent, , the window is still cracked from this incident but it got away lightly then, thats why I bled the brakes, there better now but I think he better splash out on some decent branded pads and shoes this weekend, it also went through a hedge about a month ago on sheet black ice on a country road out near horncastle, again very lucky with just a few slight cracks in the lower bumper, grill and number plate.
Its battle scarred to f**k, but for some resson none of it is noticeable and it does so much milesge you can never even tell what colour it is with the dirt, its coated in mud at the moment from wales yesterday
It ought to go on the top gear set at the side of there hilux
