Lifes' mistakes.Time to get them off your chest.

[Acousticplayer]

I thought I would bring this forward from an earlier thread.At least one member thought it would be a giggle so here it is.
"What are the big mistakes you have made in your life"
I started it off by "confessing" to the big mistake of selling my 1954 MG TF many years ago for the sum of £400 when today they are fetching money in the tens of thousands.
That was a BIG mistake

The stage is yours.

17th October 1990....deciding to drive home from work by the back roads because there was a jam on the M6......got hit head on by a Mondeo, both of us doing 50mph (totally his fault)....had to be cut out by the fire brigade....no airbags in those days .......various injuries....3 months off work!!

Not moving away from Britain when we had the chance.

Not going to Berlin before the Wall came down not like I didn't have the opportunity as I was in Germany 86-90. Oh, and letting Yvonne drive my Fiesta RS Turbo to work as she and her work colleagues would blast around Thetford at lunch times all screaming "do the whizz thing again" and then she managed to batter one side when putting it in the garage

Other than that, all is well and living the dream

Never too late.

Possibly scrapping my old banger because it needed new tyres. It was a Jaguar Mk V. Or not buying an immaculate XK 120 when offered one from the Chequered Flag in Nottingham for £350:00d.

When I passed my driving test my driving instructor asked me if I was interested in buying her Sunbeam Alpine roadster. She wanted £175 for it but I'd just bought my Vauxhall Viva and didn't have the cash

There may be trouble ahead .........

I recall nothing much I regret either car wise or anything much else.

Was a bad day. A long recovery for Gail. Despite sitting with the engine and gearbox where my feet should have been I escaped with a broken tooth.

Very lucky both. Out of interest, what car were you in as that's some impact?

 

[Gail]

It was a Peugeot 405 @Andy McDonnell

@Gail a good car in it's day safety wise if I recall. My sister had a head on in one years ago (not as high impact as yours though) and the airbag failed to deploy. No major damage done.
