Shunted up the rear this afternoon

I was shunted up the rear this afternoon, fotunately I was in the 5 series tourer and not the Connie. The Tow Bar took all of the hit!
Didn't leave much of the front of the Renault Clio!
Also a relief that no one was hurt either! except someones pride!

At least you are ok. Cars are easily more repairable than people.

Thanks
So true!

Had it up on the ramp yesterday, no unseen hidden damage underneath, i have seen this before where the tow bar fixings have twisted the rear of the car due to the knock on effect of the force of the impact travelling through all the solid metal.
Sturdy things these tow bars!
