- 21 Jan: Ouch!
- 30 Jan: Synergie’s ‘back2new’
My advice to anyone rushing their de-icing routine in this cold snap is clear; don’t. As the photo (left) will have revealed, I hurriedly left late neglecting to de-ice my furthestmost windows, and reversing on the drive planted my rear offside quarter straight into a tree. The tree you’ll be glad to hear survived. The car, less so.
And we’re only third party…darn it.
However, Craig at Back-2-New in Newton Abbot is now booked to transform my mistake into a distant memory around the 29th January – I’ll post up his handiwork for you to assess after the repair.
UPDATE: See photo (right) – a very nice job from Craig, and at an incredibly reasonable price – his details are 01626 368844. I’m happy again, and the Synergie isn’t being parked tightly up against walls when I’m visiting clients. I’ve made a mental note to reverse slower too. (Just for the record, mileage now standing at 124,251 miles.)
