World Record for Brain James Minno Trailer

[Mark Chilton]

I proudly collected my brand spanking new Minno Trailer from Brain James in Daventry late this afternoon.

 

25 miles and 45 minutes later I got 'rear ended' whilst stationary in traffic on the J9 slip road (Oxford exit) of the M40.

 

Is this a record or have you or do you know some unfortunate person who can beat this!?

 

A couple of glasses of red wine are helping me to become philisophical about the incident. hic!

CATCH THE WIND

Bloody Hell...well least it wasn't your seven, but bad luck all the same.

At the risk of stating the obvious, if it was any kind of impact, you should probably check for damage on the tow vehicle as well as the trailer.

Not quite a trailer but I sold an immaculate Lotus Europa SII to a chap from Bury several years ago at about 5.30pm on a Friday afternoon and by 6pm, the car was a write off on the M6 near Knutsford - one of my friends saw it smashed on the hardshoulder straight afterwards.

 

Apparently sitting very low (is there any other way in a Europa!) and heading into the late afternoon sun, he didn't notice the queuing traffic going into some roadworks and ploughed into another car.

 

He had only just taken out a loan for the car and couldn't afford fully comprehensive insurance.... the car was at Christopher Neil's for months afterwards.
