We only have a handful of Coupes left, and this happened over last weekend! (I am not personally involved.)

Not sure if the cyclist made it or not!

It may / should be possible to repair the cars. Hope the cyclist was OK though.

That second pic looks like my driveway whenever Mrs Jimbob tries to park her Toyota Yaris(Echo).

There's not much damage to the coupe evident in the first pic, unless the cyclist is trying to claw his way out from underneath.

Take it Mrs Jimbob is

a) not a regular visitor to this forum and
b) not as terrifying as Mrs Stan?

For the black one,it is a 16vt. Did try to follow up via local newspaper, but no leads, so I presume the cyclist was not too badly hurt. Happened last Friday.

The red one is a 20vt, happened in last Saturday, damage is more severe than what it seems in the photo, unlikely to be economical to repair. RIP!

a) correct smile
b) never having met Mrs Stan, i can only assume from Stans descriptions that she and Mrs Jimbob are somehow related. shocked
