Hi all,

Sad news... frown Beautiful weather this afternoon, sunshine, so I taught to take the Moggie to get to work.

Shouldn't have done that. Going from a roundabout, the rear end slipped and hit the "border stone" (sorry for that expression, don't know how it's called) with the rear wheel first, and then the front wheel, and then with the rear wheel again. Or vice versa... don't remember... it happened so fast

No damage to the body, but at least the front wheel alignment is gone. The rear end seams OK, the rims too. At least at the first look.

All happened at a very moderate speed, so I'm confident that there's very little damage.

The car drives, and I'm bringing it to the dealer. I'll keep you informed.

Sunny greetings,
Ivo

Ivo,
These things are always upsetting. gloomy

Lets hope any damage is quickly fixed.
I know its no consolation but the main thing is that you walked away unharmed and are still able to post on TM. hide

You took the words out of my mouth.

While I am sorry to hear that you have damaged your car, I'm glad you are okay and it sounds as though the damage is light. smile

Sorry to hear of this Ivo. I hope, like the rest, that the damage is minor and your car will be back in full fettle soon.

Cheers!

Sorry to hear your news - You are Ok which is the most important. Mog has been given a shake up but is always fixable.
Hopefully not too costly. frown

Thank you all for your kind words. smile

The second look revealed slight damages on both rims, driver's side (continental driver's side, that is wink ) . The rear one less than the front, so the first impact must have been at the front.

And the front tire makes a little bubble. As far as it goes for the front end, I don't know, because I had to leave before the car had been driven into the shop.

Tomorrow I'll know more.

Sunny greetings from "slippery road country" Luxembourg wink
Ivo
