Just crashed my van into the front of a combine on a slow blind bend near Arlington. You should see the way the blades cut my van open like a KitKat wrapper!

I am either very lucky, or not depending on your frame of mind.

Written from the A&E waiting room one handed due to a painful wrist.....otherwise relatively fine.

Pics to follow. Please be safe peeps. %-(

(I have no idea what the smilie will be, as I pressed it by accident & my fat finger cant sort it out on its own with this phone.)

    Oh. Not good.

    But at least you're just about OK.

    Is there anything I can do?

    Blimey. Really sorry to hear that, but glad you're OK Alan.

    The event reads like a scene from Final Destination 6...!

    I hope everything mends and is resolved easily.

    Alan please please tell me your ear are still working,   get well soon.
  • AlanAlan
    Thanks all, ears survived fine also! Which is more than can be said for the van, or the part of the combine that was written off....watch those blind bends everybody, they might catch you out too! I watched people come round there for an hour when I took all the gear off the van prior to recovery, and everyone - bar no one - came round faster than I did. So I'm glad I hit it, or someone may have been killed.

    The note on the windscreen reads: For sale, 1 careful owner. Slight cosmetic damage, should polish out...

    Oh poo. That's more of a mess than I'd expected.

    Looks as if you got away as lightly as you were going to from that.

    A new van design with crash damage fitted like torn jeans, it might catch on.
    I am glad you are OK Alan, well back to getting ready for Paris, what the French for large beer?

    Blimey that's a dreadful smash Alan....I can see what you mean about being lucky to escape with a minor injury.  Your van on the other hand looks very poorly.
