A lousy end of 2010
The first thing that happened to me when hopping into the D3 on the last day of 2010 was that my mirror failed to fold.
Since my gate is just over 2m wide, the mirrors need to be folded in order to get in and out.
Then, a few minutes after I switched the heated windscreen on, a huge crack appeared. Probably as the result of a piece of Autobahn litter hitting it when coming back from Switzerland last week. bye bye windscreen
The final knockdown came in the evening when a neighbor called to tell that her daughter, driving dad's car with her freshly earned drivers license, hit my D3 in the door, leaving a big dent. She had completely overseen my car when leaving the parking.
Hopefully the bad luck stayed in 2010.

Bernd, I hope the rest of the year brings a change of luck. Accidents do happen and when they come together it really is bad luck, so here's hoping that all changes very soon! Best Wishes George!

Bernd,
Misschien kan je je buurman doen geloven dat de barst in je voorruit en je defecte spiegel ook het gevolg zijn van zijn dochters (gebrek aan) rijkunst?

He said...'Maybe your neighbor to believe that the crack in your windshield and you failed mirror also be the result of his daughters (lack of) horsemanship?'
