Had a good look at the car in the cold light of day..and yes Ouch pretty much sums it up rindy

When I was seventeen I was driving my Dad's car on Jersey. The lanes there are really narrow, with high stone walls. I met a coach full of pensioners, and had to reverse about half a mile up the winding lane to find a space to let it pass. Eventually I found a grand drive way with stone gate posts with eagles on the top. I reversed into one, hearing the back of the car give an almighty concertina crunch. I sat there as the coach passed...with all the pensioners laughing and pointing.

I can't remember the excuse I came up with so as not to get told off by my Dad, but it must have been good, because I didn't.
