Im feeling real stupid right now :roll:

I drove into the driveway tonight and parked where I do every night,

and

I hit the letterbox. what an idiot.

Now i have a nice scratch above my front right wheel.

grrrrr! I don't think anything worse can happen to my mini, considering all thats happened in the last year!

i share your pain, i leant on Cherry to do up the boot and the back of my jeans had a stud on them...nice big scratch. Got any pics of the damage so we can come up with solutions for you? Will it polish out?

I know I'm good but I was in a whole other state when that happened.

So who was it Jess??? :?

Sorry Gemma, somehow this always happens with any thread Jess posts in.

I hit the side of the house once...ONCE.

Came home late from work and went to park in my usual spot beside the house...dad had told me a few times to park closer to the house so I could fit in between the house and the shed. So I moved right over and my guard scraped the bricks :oops:

At first I didn't know what part of my car hit the wall but in the morning I searched and found the guard worn away a bit.

I did this not long after I got my license...was still getting to know the dimensions of my mini :P
