What YOU have done to your car!
Today i thought i would clean the car, got all the stuff out i use, jet wash, buckets and sponges started to rinse it off with the jet wash and the end of the hose came flying off at speed towards the car, could not do a thing about it, smacked straight into the passenger door near the wing mirror dented it and landed on the floor. what a sh1te thing to do, pressure from the water made it come out really fast.
now have a new addition to the car A BIG DENT not happy but bugger all i can do, anybody any advice on using a dent repair company local to cambridge? i used one once and all he did was put more dents in the car so it hid the first dent.
i know things happen but my car was almost dent free, and i would be interested to see what others have done in error.

My last S was locked away in the garage & one day went to go for a drive, opened the garage door and resting on my wing was my golf clubs 
I had not put them on the work surface with a lack of attention, that cost me 300 quid

My parents had parked up down at the beach to take the dogs for a walk - as they walk along the high tide mark my Dad spots an old plastic kitchen sink lying upside down in the seaweed - very windy day - thinking there might be something underneath it he nudges up the sink with his foot, at which point the wind gets underneath it and sends it blowing 50 yards along the beach into...............
the front wing of the car
(damage fixed in combination with another silly incident 6 months later for which insurance claim made, but that's anther story as they say)

The old man reversed over the old dear once ... she was footering about out of sight attending to a flower bed. As he swung the car round to reverse out the gate, the wing doinked her on the head and he ran over her foot with the n/s/f tyre.
Fecking wing was a mess !!
Seem to recall he cooked his own tea that night ...
Getting back on topic, I lobbed a fag out the driver's window of the S (litter lout, I know) and the airflow sucked it into the gap between the soft top and the rear wing. Fortunately spotted it smouldering away at an Opti fill up minutes later. Has left a wee burn mark on the roof but thankfully below line of the bodywork. Another good reason, as if one were needed, to pack in the weed ...
