Built like a tank
Last Saturday I was driving my 1994 3.0TD along the A626 in Glossop behind a queue of traffic when some eejit coming the other way around what for him would have been a 90 left looses control clobbers the kerb and comes flying at me backwards at about 60mph. All I see is a big maroon BMW heading straight for me, I remember thinking "this is going to hurt"
A couple of miiliseconds later the BMW rear offside bumper has struck the front offside tyre on my beloved Surf, exploded in a cloud of plastic and dust and the offending car shot off towards Glossop at mach 3.
I get out expecting to see major carnage but all I can find is a scuff mark on my tyre, a crushed wheel arch at the front and a cracked wheel arch at the rear offside. 
The road is covered in bits of BMW, both the outer and inner parts of the bumper, the rear offside light cluster bits of glass and plastic everywhere. But, no rear number plate....bugger. I've managed to track down a front offside wheel arch and I may have found a rear one bit I'm not 100% sure. Anyone know where I can get a rear O/S wheel arch????
