Well, I'm sure we've all done stupid things in our time that have ended up in damaged vehicles.

My latest effort was just last night. It was a very windy night here in Adelaide and I was sitting inside when I heard this almighty crash.

I already knew what it was and what it had hit and it was hard to bring myself to go outside and have a look.

On Sunday I had just finished applying the second coat of epoxy floor sealer to my new shed and I had left the shed door open in order to let it air and hopefully dry a bit quicker. As I didn't want my dog to leave little doggy prints in the new floor from one end to the other, I had placed a long sheet of corrugated iron across the opening in order to keep him out.

Yes, you guessed it. The big crash was the wind picking up this sheet of iron and slamming it in to the front of my HQ GTS.

As soon as I walked outside I could see the damage on the left side of the nose cone. Plenty of paint removed. As I was looking at it my housemate commented that it was surprising that it hit that side because of the angle the car was parked on. He seemed to think it would have been more likely to hit the other side.

Yes, you guessed it. Walked around the other side and it had copped similar treatment but with even more paint removed.

This sheet of iron had somehow blown straight toward the front of the car and wrapped itself around the front end damaging both corners of the nose cone.

Not happy Jan!!!!!

It could have been a lot worse I guess. It could have landed on the bonnet or roof. As it was there was no other damage.

Has anyone else got any stories of silly things they've done which has resulted in damage to a pride and joy.

I have a few more but I'll add them at a later date.

Bad luck there mate! a few nights back I got the ****s with a feral cat hanging around the shed, picked up my 1/2 drive strong arm with a 13mm socket on the end. Pegged it at the cat, hit the work bench, socket came off a flew straight into the EH's drive

Mine's 100 times better than all of yours (no its not, but you'll laugh when you hear it because i should've seen it coming)...

I decided to stay over at the girlfriend's house (now ex girlfriend however), parked my car across the road from their drive

OUCH!! A lot of good stories there!

I have 2 as well, the first one was when I called in to see my parents unannounced, and turned into their rather steep driveway as I always do and hit the brakes and nothing happened, the car( my wifes Ford Capri) kept going right down the driveway and th

Should put a poll up and get some votes to see who's is the funniest/worst and give the winner a prize or something!!

A lot of clumsy holdenieers out there! Myself included!!

That reminds me...

Many many moons ago, I had just got a temporary promotion and my first Company Car (a Nissan Pulsar hatch, no less!) and parking spot (next to a loading dock beneath the GPO in Perth).
