Glad your okay, hopefully its a easy fix and not too costly :thumb:

At least you lived to tell the tale. Not a nice experience at all. Get the car sorted.
Not if you stab them in the head first :) Mind you, fuzz could take a knife off you if they decided to stop & search...Quote:

The car looks fixable, hope it is anyway as you have spent way too many years with it and was perfect. Dont give up on it and at least you are ok and you will still be talking about this in years to come and laughing about it and being proud you saved your nova :)
The best bit is when you tell the story over the years to cone you can start it with 'I ran over a mental patient once' headlines like that get great reactions lol
Just read this mate... Sorry to hear what happend that sounds like a terrible experience!!
At least you got away thow and like you say your not lying in a ditch dead!!!
Hope you get the nova sorted!
Jesus christ..
Bad news dude, well done for twa*ting him. Adrenalin kicked in yo'h
Sorry to hear about this hope the car can be repaired. But imo you should have drove back over him to make sure
+1 rep for not giving up
Who'd wanna steal a Rover? :wtf:Quote:

Glad your relatively ok.
i know a woman who ran down a mental patient who was tying to commit suicide....by jumping in front of her mk3 escort.....she was livid mostly because he'd snapped her radio aerial off by impaling himself with it, she gave him a rollocking & then pulled the aerial out of his abdomen while screaming 'and you're not keeping that either.'
ps. only a mental patient would try to commandeer a nova...
buggar me thats class mowgli she needs a medal lol!!
to be fair it was the honda engined one...................lolQuote:

it was maybe a nova why he went mental.
A roten xe that always wanted welding lol
LMFAO+rep lol lolQuote:

F••k me, I feel for you mate, I would repair the quarter tbh, new door and bumper and light FTW.
I'm sure there will be a few good members willing to help you out as nobody deserves to be put in such a bad situation.
shoulda said yes and gave him a lift
free money from the goverment
Cool, goes off to find someone nodding and moves in for an easy headbutt and free money
Fookin hell dave! Gutted for you chap! Hope you manage to get it sorted ok.
Good news.
After some begging and borrowing we have sorted out:
Rear clear lights.
Full lockset all on one key.
Rear bumper
Front window surround spares
Dave has a front door, and we have some door glass aswell, incase this wont come out.
All will hopefully be sorted within a month.
I'll donate anything I have spare to return it to its former glory
Cool.Quote:
