side tubes might be somewhat dinted but the rest of the car was unscathed, luckily I took plenty of sandwiches as I had to wait ages for the D3's to amble along the track at a snail pace. contrary to popular advise the key to off roading is speed, stop at an easy section scan out a route for the next 20-30 yards and go for it. go slow and you will fall into the ruts and get stuck/damage your car At work

Doesnt work, A builder can still squeeze his beat up Transit into a space only wide enough, youd have thought, for a motorbike. |

Where I live it's the bin men. If they actually bother to empty the bin (a big if) they just drag a couple of them into the road, apparently blind to any cars parked in their way. Mainly seems to affect the Astra though - at least the FL has nice big protective bumpers. |

Watched this older fella in a decrepid merc leaving his bay at the car park in town. He was millimetres away from the car next to him as he swung out. Unfortunately he was far from millemetres away from the car behind him as he reversed across the access way.

A month or so ago after washing my freelander 2 I noticed that there were 8-10 hairline scratches on the bonnet. It looks like someone had used the front of my car for a shelf whilst loading up the back of their car. I can only assume that they dragged the bag/box off rather than lifting it. Any suggestions for removing these scratches as the range of stuff in Halfords etc is bamboozling. The scratches look like they are just through the top coat. By the way my FL2 is black and they are a bugg@r to keep looking good most of the time. |

Always reverse into a space, saves them using the bonnet, as an added bonus they may crack their shins on the towbar too

I had my Black Freelander 1 for 3 years and the only marks on it were where a hurd of cows had been licking the rear quarter. These polished out. Then when up for sale I got a deep scratch the length of the rear quarter and had to drop the price because of it. If I new who did it I would of been tempted to take that value out of something they hold dear, like their house windows.

Always take a picture showing the accident situation, as many as you possibly can. Every phone has a camera these days. Send them to you insurance co when sending the accident report. Alsways fill in such a report, even if they say thay will settle this without the insurance cos. If they back down, you have evidence and a signed statement.
