Gutted just doesnt even put it in words!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

djc 0 Posted June 4, 2010 Happened to a mate of mine about 15 years ago. He was welding up a MK2 Escort before paint in the bodyshop who were undertaking the respray after working hours, up it went taking several cars & the unit with it. A mutual friend passing at the time saw several fire engines at the scene & thought Hippy Mick (as we all knew him) was having a bad evening, it was only when he got to work the following day did we all find out what had happened. I hope this all works out for you & your mates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
