Breaking the silence

The stunning silence from this end has been caused by a somewhat
surprising present from Bradford. I had only shortly before been
saying to my son-in law that the standard of driving nose dives
as soon as you cross into West Yorkshire (apparently caused by
the higher population of "boy racers"). That was soon proven
correct when Carol and I got a windscreen full of Audi A3!
Apparently crossroads cause people of a certain persuation
(didn't know I could still be that PC) some confusion! The
contest between our VW and its German counterpart was a
resounding victory for the peoples car!!! His is almost
certainly a "write off"!
I just got a wallop on the elbow, but Carol came off worst by
virtue of a seat belt injury to her ribs (will be quite sore for
a few more days yet). A short note is going to VW however,
inspite of the impact the air bags failed to deploy and the seat
belts tensioners also failed!!!!!
Happy Days!

Sorry to hear of accident, rib damage gives excruciating pain, I
found that out after crashing my V.F.R. on patch of diesel many
years ago!
Hope ribs and V.W. recover soon.
The non. responding seat belts & air bags doesn't help
confidence with German engineering.
Get well soon.

The "guv'nor" is now seeming somewhat "happier" (wonders will
never cease). However, there was apparently an absence of spare
body parts for VW Ups in the UK, resulting in the car not being
repaired until the 16th of this month.
I wouldn't mind that but the Vauxhall we have been provided with
is crap!!!! It has a drivers seat with the ability to upset my
recurring back trouble within a mile!!!!
Keep smiling!
