Sphincter Slap

Postby steamdrivenandy » Sat Mar 24, 2007 10:23 pm

Minding my own business driving towards the next village when a white Sphincter coming the other way smacked my o/s door mirror. I swear he swerved slightly towards me as he went past.
Mirror was detached from the frame and hanging by the two heating wires but able to refit it no problem.
You'd think it was done on purpose.
I hope his mirror was broken and he had to pay Merc prices for a replacement.

I once had a Mitsubushi Warrior do the same thing to me on a country lane. He refused to drive on his side of the road and my tranny Mk6 was brushing up agains't the verge, however, our mirros thumped together WHACK! mine folded in but his left his vehicle and smashed on the floor. We both stop and got out, I looked back at him, he was looking down at the floor and his mirror in a million bits. He looked up just as I straightened mine out, jumped behind the wheel and set of to work. lol

serve him right.
