Did you have stealth mode on? Normally cars are large enough that even bus drivers notice them

Ouch! Company car was it?

Only had the car for a few weeks.

The old man said you were gutted.... Not as bad as his crash crash though!

When you told me about it, I was thinking along the lines of a scratch or smeary ding...thats quite substantial.

heh, because it came up along my side and I was looking for a workmate across the street I didnt see it coming... And as soon as it happend I was more pissed off than anything, so no change of undies were needed. My workmate almost needed a change though

I was still in the car, I had stopped on a median strip, wasnt going to be getting out of the car and leaving it there.

The car has been written off.

pffft this coming from a courier! I reckon you mean " if you can fit 1/2 a cm of tyre on it, or if there is a 30 cm gap left its a park"

(to be fair tho.. if courier drivers always waited for a park nothing would ever get delivered!)

I saw it all happen!!! Are you sure you're ok? It was a real hard hit as i jumped off my feet and you wern't stoped on a median strip , well it was but not really. Half you car was on the bus lane. Sorry to be a Cu*t but id say you were in the wrong. The exact spot this happened at was outside the old government buildings just infron of where the bus goes to the terminus in front of the traffic island in the middle. Quite an eventful morning.
