Ok...as if I don't have enough on my plate with a naff Vectra stuck on my drive, I went and had a run in with a lamp post in my other half's car at 6.00am on saturday morning!
It might be a write-off, it might not! Who knows - just waiting for it to be collected and assessed.
Anyway, just want to say thanks to a couple of people who may or may not get them through here but still, they want saying....
To the guy in the car on his way to work who immediately stopped and helped me prise the front of the car from the lamp post, who also called an ambulance because he was concerned at the amount of blood I was losing from my nose - Cheers mate, very much. Sorry I wasn't with it enough to get your name and number! Cheers anyway (proof that not all young car drivers are tossers).
To the ambulance crew - cheers too - very professional, of course, but didn't make me feel like just another statistic.
To the two police officers from North Yorks police (Fulford Road), cheers to you too fellas. Again, very professional, very helpful, very considerate to 'our lass' when she arrived on the scene and got herself extremely upset (well, I did look a bit of a mess :D ), and again, actually treated me with a great deal of courtesy and respect both at the scene and at the station where they had to take me for breathalising (which I passed ok by the way).
A good job guys (and it's not very often I've had reason to say anything positive about our friends in blue). Thanks again.
To VW...thanks for nothing you wa**kers - your poxy airbag didn't deploy and your poxy seatbelts didn't stop me from smashing the windscreen with the top of my head, breaking my nose for the fourth time on the steering wheel and splitting the inside of my mouth and lips in a likewise manner.
Thankfully though, it could have been a great deal worse (I'm surprised I'm still here actually - must be 8 out of 9 lives used up!).
Anyway - a big 'Cheers' to all involved - if any one out there knows any of these individuals and about this incident - please pass on my gratitude.
Thanks!
