A tree fell over last night and if it had gone the other way, it would have squashed me car.

It doesn't actually look that impressive in the pics, but it definitely would have reached the car.

Never heard a thing, but then I could sleep through a plane crash. It must have made a big sound and looked cool though. If I had a stove it'd be getting chopped up before the council get to it.

Ah yes, I remember now the 2yr old Cavalier 4dr that became a coupe :cry:
Think it was summit to do with it being parked in BT's car park and they had a disclaimer on the entrance wall.Don't know how ya stand regarding public highway.No doubt if the insurance can wriggle out with the old,"act of God" they will. :twisted:

Here comes the snow,playing out tonight Billy????????
