Still got that silly cow trying to blame me for the Golf accident and that will come out in the wash but tonight I drove into our street and couldn't get the swing on the Mondeo to get on the drive so went to the end of the cul-de-sac to turn round. A black Fiesta came up the street and stopped and I was waiting for him to go into the multi-accessdrives on the end but he stopped and saw him in my door mirror waving me back. I began reversing and putting full lock on the Mondeo and then made the fatal error of looking to my right where there was a black Golf waiting. My brain instantly thought "same car" and assuming he had backed up, back I went straight into the Fiesta! Damn modern cars with no view out the back!
Entirely my fault. Luckily the Mondeo was only very slightly deformed and scuffed, his Fiesta Turbo suffered rather more damage but the consolation was his mate in the Golf was a paint and body man and said he'd do both cars for about £250. I still can't believe I did it but at least it can be settled privately.
Still kicking myself though. Nothing for thirty years then two.
