So this moron drove his truck into the side of my (parked) antique MG this morning.

Agreed. If he'd had a Porsche 914 instead of the MG, that would have equally fucked up the truck. They're built like bricks... Damn... I had one, never wrecked it, but was riding in a friend's 914 and he plowed it into the back seat door of some Japanese car at 50 mph when the driver pulled out in front of us. He got spun 270 degrees and we kept going, for a block anyway, with no brakes... :D

Whatever floats your boat.

I doubt anything much would take a direct hit in the side from a gasoline tanker truck without denting.

Is the repair going to require a lot of refabrication? Would you have to find another antique to cannibalize off of? Man I would be pissed>:(

I am pissed, but fortunately the only significant damage (big dent) is to the LH door skin (there's also some scratched paint on the front fender). Don't know what the chances are of cannibalizing a door - they only ever made 10,000 of these cars, and that was 60 years ago. Not sure how many are left.

I've owned it for 41 years, and this is the only significant damage it's had in all that time.

Was the truck driver OK?

Did he survive a low-altitude convertible collision? We should all be so lucky! :D


Seriously, I'm sorry that your car was damaged. That sucks. I hope the guy has to pay and pay for his fuckup.

How the hell did he manage to hit your car, anyway?

I wouldn't worry too much. I rebuilt a 1936 MG PB for a guy and we bought a complete new body for it, and they only made 526 PB's. If it's just a door skin, a good specialist should be able to reskin it easily.

soory to hear of any damage to such a nice looking machine..

Best to keep this one stored,,,, or in the active mode or DRIVING.....

Damn I am telepathic or something. I saw this thread Morons! I was immediately like uh oh, some asshat driver. I just spent a week in California, let me tell ya. My Mom thinks that Missouri drivers are the worst because she says they tailgait profusely. I have never had that problem here in the 5 years I have lived here unless I was going too slow in the fast lane and I told her that. I get to California and I am like dang. These people move and have no use for you on the road. Talk about tailgaiters. I am just so glad I will not ever have to live in LA again. That place is filled with nightmare drivers. Sorry to hear about your car John but just remember it is a car and not a person and although now you have a pain in the ass mess to deal with, go rent something fun and let the asshat pay for it and take your car into the shop. It will be OK in no time. ;)
