They all got covered in concrete?
You had a cracker, the cracker dried out your mouth, you reached out for a cup and turned on the tap. Upon drinking the water, you were not concentrating, this allowed spillage to occur on your marble flooring.
Without realising you took a step back and slipped upon said water, while your feet were pointing toward the ceiling and your body flexing at 90 degrees you reached out (all in what seemed like slow motion).
Your arms flailing outward (as they do for some reason) made your hands snatch at and grab the box that contained the goodies, pulling it downward.
Once the box hit the floor, the contents spewed out across the room and landed in a cement mixer that happened to be there mixing a sandy cement mix.
And there we have it

Your right those carpet bits just tidy up the inside, make it look finished.

You ordered grey panels and your carpet is black?
This is how it should have come out of Torino!

Reversed into the gate post. ( i hope i'm so wrong)
Your right those carpet bits just tidy up the inside, make it look finished. Your so close I'll give it you Trev, I actually drove it into the gate post in one of those will it make it, will it make it, will it ma.... oh s**t moments. It didn't make it So, now the carpet panels have tidied the interior I need a new bumper and bonnet to tidy the outside Yup the gentlest of touches of wood against plastic/metal and the wood wins hands down, the bumper has cracked, the bonnet has dented and cracked the paint to the outside of the indicator light cluster. This dent I pushed out straight away as best I could but the paint has gone so it's repair or replace. Removing the foam inserts to fit the FMIC seemed like a bad idea at the time as they are designed to absorb energy, it still seems like a bad idea today. Ho hum, off to see Joe in the very near future.

Unlucky Jim. Funny thing, this happened to mine the other day, but reversing!
Perhaps something is in the air (where I bet you wish you were on this very day!)
