First up no one was hurt at the time and have not heard anything to the contrary since.
Second I destroyed a young persons first car, we can all remember how important that car was.
Third I had to call Club4x4 again, my fury aimed at myself was not measurable, as was the embarrassment.
From that day on I re-live the scene that unfolded in front of me constantly, only a few people know it happened, my children don't know yet.
I still have no idea what happened, just that I looked away from the road for a moment and hit a stationary? car in front of me at up to 45kph, like I said I have no idea.
That is my shameful dick head story.
Club 4x4 again has lived up to expectations, the first contact when I called said simply "that's what we have insurance for" didn't make me feel any better but it was nice she said that.
This morning the car was driven to our panel beater, a young guy who has taken over a very successful shop he worked for, albeit a lot smaller scale. The standard of work from the previous owner was outstanding and Con is doing all he can to carry that standard forward. He actually has a customers vintage Roll Royce in to be restored as well as the normal repairs found in shops all over the country.
Sadly I have to say again that Club4x4 are an amazing company, I am most grateful but can not be happy about saying it again at all.
Thanks again to the people at Club4x4 trying to provide the best service to 4x4 owners across our great land.
Cheers Macca
