I had a new van for 5 mins

[adamangler]

So, ive been looking for a bigger van for a while

found one this morning, to cut a long story short i spent 2 hours looking at it, test driving it, going to bank for money, filling all paper work in etc.

Anyway it was 5 mins from my house so the guy offered to follow me back and drop it off

great i said

he chucked keys to young lad and said follow this guy back with van.

so we gets in, pulls out of compound, CRUNCH!

i knew what had happened straight away, turned round went back, young lad was gutted.

Hed smashed all side door in and scraped right down side, was a right mess.

Bloke say erm ill just give you your money back mate

couldnt make it up

Gutted for you, at least it wasn't you driving it just after buying it, poor van was looking forward to being a window cleaning van.

What a gutter! Better luck next time

 

[kahoona]

I recon fate playing its part, maybe you went meant to have that van, maybe something major and expensive to fix was going to happen to it in the future when too late to take back. Maybe I just talking a load of old bullockx.

Either way unlucky fella.

Sorry to hear that mate.

Got two friends down here who have bought new vans and had crashes within 48 hours......

One was a 65 reg new transit custom. Hadn't had an accident for 31 years and caused £10k of damage at 15 mph........how I laughed.......only cause he ribbed me when I had a scrape last year. He is my supplier though so not going to cross the line too far!

O u c h is all i can say

I saw an accident 1 day when a woman ploughed her brand new beemer into a lamp post on a traffic island within sight of the specialist cars dealership where she bought it

That was a serious rolling around on the floor moment when we heard her other half say it

He was going ballistic and we were cracking up

 

[peter rogers]

lol wat sorta van was it ?? a cop car just took my mirror off the van this morning lol

 

[adamangler]

It was a transit, not a brand new one mind.

No, this dozy lad didnt get as far as the road, he crunched it into the compound gate post as we was coming out, obviously wasnt used to driving a big van and didnt swing out to take the turn just turned the wheel and squashed the side in.

mk6 or mk7 lol i wud be ******* raging i drive a lwb hf transit monster

With my first round in Jersey I hired a lad to join the team, gave him my Escort 75 van (at the time quite a prize) and he decided to stop at the corner shop and get a drink on the way to first job so he wouldn't have to leave the round to grab a drink on a break. Fair play I thought. Never thought he was going to use the wall of the car park to stop my van before he even cleaned the first window.

I decided accidents happen, kept him on. A week later he puts a ladder through a window, oh well, accidents happen!! Two weeks latter he turns up drunk!! Well that was enough, fired on the spot.

mk6 or mk7 lol i wud be ******* raging i drive a lwb hf transit monster
