    I understand that, I just don't like it, and moving the infected nearby increased the risk

    Why is it my other half and I can never sell anything? Ads are placed, the info given and right price attached, so why do our emails and phones maintain total silence! :gaah:

      Oh, I bought a new car with my partner only a few months ago. Just out of curiosity, which cars?

          Clio Sport! Very smart! :dbgrtmb: We don't need two cars any more and want a change from Renault after three Clio's and a Megane. In fact our first Clio we drove 1500 miles around Norway in many years ago, great roads there!

          This is a stock photo but the only difference is that mine is black.

          I've heard that the roads of Norway are excellent, though I've only been able to pinpoint the Atlantic road

            Very pretty! I still like the body lines of Renaults but I have seating issues with them now because of a back and ankle problem, so will shop around to find what suits me best.

            Norway was amazing to drive around! Open, empty roads for mile upon mile, perfect! :)

            I have had my little Ka for eight years now and thought I was doing very well in keeping her looking nice and with only 25,750 odd miles on the clock.:smile:

            A couple of weeks ago on our wedding anniversary we drove to a posh supermarket because they had sent me some money off vouchers £12 off a £60 shop (times 2).Anyway we were only in the shop five minutes when an announcement came over the Tanoy system with my car reg so Mr Kandy went off to see what it was all about.He found out that a wrinkly had decided to weld her car to the side of my car when she was trying to park in a straight manner in the space next to my car.:yikes:

            Anyway,she was in such a state that someone else had to move her car away from my car and by the time I got there Customer Services had had to bring her out a hot cup of coffee and the wrinkly was exchanging details with Mr K.We have now had to sort it all out with my insureres and are in the process of taking the car to get the dents and paint work sorted out.

            The date of the bump was the 13th and the car park space was number 113:hate-shocked:

            I have also seen on Rip Off Britain this week I think it was that because I have now put in a claim,it is going to affect my premiums next year as I am now seen as a risk even though it was a no fault claim:mad::frown:

            Sorry to hear about your Ka, Kandy. My Ford C-Max was driven into from the rear two years ago [on the day I was just about to drive down South to Shineyland for the Open Day. The car was driveable so I did manage to get there for the Open Day after reporting the accident to my Insurance Company. But on getting my premium quote for the next year my premium was even lower than the previous year even though I was expecting it to be higher.
            But before the quote arrived, in anticipation of a higher quote, I went on the Net to compare prices checking all companies. I noticed that my Insurance company was quoting me an even lower premium than the one I had paid them for the present year. Then, to my surprise, when I did get the lower quote for the following year I found that quote was higher than the quote they'd given me on the Net. So I rang them up and told them, they rechecked the details and quotes and agreed that I should pay the lowest quote.
            So don't believe all you see on the Box. I thought I was going to have to pay a "penalty" higher premium even though the :thumbsup::coffee:Insurers declared it not to be my fault, but in the end paid far less than the premium I had paid for that year.

              @Kandy

              Hi
              I understand you are miffed off , as I would be if it was my car , but I find the use of the word "Wrinkly" offensive to describe people .

              "He found out that a wrinkly had decided to weld her car"
              "and the wrinkly was exchanging details with Mr K."

                Perhaps she had been in the bath too long.:snork:

                I know, it happens to me when I fall asleep in there.
