..... coming home from Shannon yesterday with my 9 year old car trailer that has never been scratched in all those years, I popped into SkyCourt's Multi Story car park for a few messages .... on the final ramp on leaving the carpark I stopped behind a car in front of me who was waiting for traffic to clear before joining the public road ..........

low and behold ...... big bang from behind and a sever jolt!!!! .... :eek:

a car behind me had slammed into the back of my trailer ..... jumped out and asked the driver of a BMW M5 (about 120 grand new )

..... "What are you doing???" I asked ..... sorry, I was trying to light a cigarette he said ...

Bukled trailer floor ..... bent tailgate that would not open ....

"You should be able to hammer that out ok" he said ..... :cool:

Been driving up and down to Galway a good bit recently and the standard of driving in all 3 counties (Limerick, Clare and Galway) is absolutely awful, I've seen some seriously silly driving so people can get somewhere 10 minutes earlier.

I hope you took the drivers details.

Was his Beemer damaged?

his number plate was well banged up ..... there is no doubt you get quality in construction when you pay over a 100 grand for a car

I took his reg. number and he gave me his business card ..... if I ever need an Acupuncture specialist I now know one

'That should knock out ok for you'... I have heard that a couple times. what a stupid and ignorant thing to say. If it was in perfect condition before the incident then it should be returned to that condition, even if it means replacing it.
