History - Part 3 - 1st Catastrophe
May 1998
I was backing the car out of the garage, I caught an old door which was being stored with one of the bonnet catches, which was sticking out.
The door came tumbling down and the handle hit the top of the bonnet, making a small dent.
I continued to reverse (god only knows why) to free the car from the door, but the bonnet catch was still firmly embedded in the door.
The final result was :

The final result was :
- The car was free from the door (yippee !)
- The car had a small dent in the bonnet (not so good)
- In my stupidity to carry on reversing I had twisted the bonnet stays and I now have a gap of approx 5 millimeters between the bonnet and left hand door and the bonnet rubbing on the right hand door (put your own swear word in here)
