Just been told that the corsa b has a bent front side right shock absorber arm, possibly a bent hub (wont no until they strip it down, they reckon £100) plus trackings wayyyy out, also track rod end bent (snapped) and poss new alloy and tyre.
All for hitting a kerb in snow at around 15mph
they reckon £300 4 just shock arm, new hub, tracking, track rod end. thats without a tyre and alloy
Lesson learnt - DO NOT DRIVE IN SNOW, OR GO REALLY SLOWLY

run a bird over on the way home and it may still be stuck there when you get home

You must have stupid birds round your way that stand there long enough to be run over... or do you mean women when you say birds?

i saw a pigeon get ran over before, by a bus.
i was waiting for the bus and was looking at this pigeon walking around in the road. then saw the bus coming, i thought it would fly off (obviously, as they arnt that stupid) but no it didnt move and the rear bus wheels hit it full on
it just popped, so because it wasnt my bus when it had gone i took a picture its on my phone somewhere
