Serratia Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I was just finishing off cleaning the car, working on the passenger front wheel when i heard an almighty crack and over my right shoulder I watched as the neighbours tree fell on the car: Absolutely gutted at the time. it took me and a mate to lift it off the car. Luckily the JDM spoiler and rear screen took the brunt of the impact and miraculously i managed to buff out the surface marks with Autoglymm super resin polish. No long lasting damage, result!

Old Red Celica Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Why was the neighbour not out helping you lift the tree clear? I hope they have been apologetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyRacer Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Did you not hear the chain saw? On a serious note I'm glad it's only light cosmetic damage. I'd be apoplectic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serratia Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) Neighbour is an 85 year old Victor Meldrew type. To give him his due he came round with his bow saw so we could cut it up and move it. He was also happy for me to get a quote for repair. He has been arse in the past and a younger me would have got a full quote for a buff/respray, but I've mellowed in my old age so told him to forget about it once I realised I could buff out the marks.
