wiped out the rear skirts recently, September NOT a good month, but the brighterside is, no serious damage, was towing a tranporter trailer with the Marlin aboard, think was struck by a blow out, which generated an uncontolable snake, ended up jack-knifing, quickest and'slowest' 5 secs of my life - happened near Goudhurst on the A?? Hastings road, dual track with nothing else about, able to recover the trailer against minimal traffic to a r/bout then tyre sorted and onwards.

My local Skoda hospital checked the back end out, just said panels reqd  ---  phewwwww!!!!!!

Glad you're okay.

 

Sounds to me like the A21.

No fun at all - I've survived a caravan n/s tyre blowout (many years ago).  Pleased for you that you yourself are OK and that the damage is comparatively little

All's well that ends well; could have been much worse- phew!

exactement!

Reassuring to find the car very robust in such a situation! :strong:

Glad you're ok and the yeti is not badly damaged.  

So you were driving down the road and had a boat run into the back of you?, had similar a while back on a country road in a Peugeot 309.  Good to hear that the damage is only confined to the fixable, replaceable Yeti and not yourself.

No , Marlin kit car

Picked up the parts today, cost £360 equivalent for the rear panels, side cill and clips etc. call that a result as I have a £250 excess so in the long term cheaper than insurancing it!

My friend borrowed my car trailer to take his car to santa pod a few weeks back and returned with it missing a mudguard and a destroyed tyre, lucky he was towing it with a defender at the time so manage to get it onto hard shoulder without to much bother,

 

I picked a polo up for a friend the week before on it though and glad it didn't go pop on me altho if i had of realised how old the tyre was (date code on tyre) it would have been changed anyway but ive not had it long and not had chance to give it a good look over and previous owner had told me it had 4 newish tyres on what he didn't tell me was it had spare on that was out of ark

Basically same scenario, good treaded but very old spare on.
