where did it happen?

Jim

I was doing J13 - J14 of the M6 on the way home, went over a bump or something not sure, then one of the rear bumper mounts that was rusty sheared off and the whole lot acted like a parachute, ripping out all the remaining bolts.
I saw it going in my rearview, intact, so pulled over straightaway and started walking back to it (there were a few gaps in the traffic where I could have retrieved it) thinking 'ok I'll salvage it and it'll probably need a respray'.
I was about 300yards away when a lorry poleaxed it! That was the only piece left!

Ah well at least no one crashed into it! And I'm ok, gona get some new mounts made up and a smoother bumper this time!

Gutted mate.

When was this?

On the way home from catch corner last night.

gutted mate. mite have been the wind that knocked u as i went up that junction too when i left and i was gettin blown all over the motorway.

but one thing mate y the hell did you start walkin up the motorway in the dark????

Was on the verge dude! Didnt walk out into the hard shoulder to get the remaining piece until there was a gap in the traffic my mum saw a fatal crash on the hard shoulder before and that is enough to convince me to spend the least time possible there, not a safe place!

thats ok then mate i just had visions of you dodgin traffic in the dark

haha I'm not that stupid.


You might be right on the wind factor though.

well when i went to work i was all over the motorway cos of the crosswinds so its quite possible mate

Thinking something like this for the future, with the numberplate under the splitter (Although I may swap this bootlid onto the new GTi 'Gizmo').

what actually happened;
