...to reverse a 4X4 into one of our scoots? The answer is two! Nope, this ain't a joke- it happened this afternoon!

Eleven of us left Fowlers this morning for a nice ride in the sunshine to Bath, where we met up with Nita on Tutti Fruiti. We spent a few hours in Bath, and on the way back we stopped off at Bitton railway station for the usual cup of tea and slice of cake. (Posting some pics/ vids a bit later on) After that, as the sun was still shining, we thought it might be a good idea to have a cool shandy at the Lock Keepers Inn at Keynsham.

So there we were, me, Graham, Rich B, Vespa Paul and Phil, sat in the beer garden, sipping on our pints, and looking at our scoots lined up just across the car park. We were joking about the domino effect that might happen if somebody knocked one of our scoots over, when - fuckin' ell- this women coming out of a parking space, being directed by her friend, reversed right into Richard's lovely 'target' (sorry- no pun intended!) LI !

She even suggested that she didn't actually hit the scoot, but we all saw it happen, and so did 20 folk who were playing boules near the scoots- she actually shunted it back a few feet!

There is some damage- it certainly could have been worse- and will be in the hands of the insurance companies! What a way to end an otherwise really great day!

So what did we learn today? Be careful where you park yer scoots, don't jinx anything by joking about anything scooter related, but mainly be very afraid when you see a women driver in a 4X4 monster truck!
