from Baz's today when we (Richard and I) were attacked by an Audi A3 on the M1 near East Mids Airport.
That wouldn't have been too bad, but there was a loaded truck behind him which rammed the Audi up the ar$e and knocked it into us.
The Santa Fé has a few scratches and a bent towbar, the exhaust is blowing a bit and the reverse sensors don't work properly. A bit dark so a full check in the morning.
BUT none of the Suzuki parts in the boot were hurt at all, so not all bad.
Richard was shaken up a bit and said lots of naughty words, and now I've got home the shoulders are a bit sore, but we're tuff Yorkies so will no doubt survive. Ibuprofen and a decent dollop of Tamnavulin and also some Glenfiddich 15YO Solera reserve should sort out the pain ok.
Here's a few pics of the aftermath of the crash.

Crikey Alan, glad no one is badly hurt. Bloody four wheelers are sooo dangerous. Need some warmer weather to get out on those safer two stroke triples

Re: A funny thing happened on the way home
Glad your both ok, with my job being a driver I see it everyday, there's some idiots out there that don't give a toss about anyone. Glad the Suzi parts are ok anyway.
