What is it with people driving and looking at their fliping mobile phone!!

Today (16th Feb) I had to stop quick due to some muppet turning down the wrong way of a one way road and a mondeo didn't even attempt to stop.

Too busy looking down than driving then whallop right into the back of me.

Got out and saw their bonnet crushed in, bumper and lights too, seeing this I thought my 75 was the same, looked at the back, just a chrome trim clip out and popped it back in.

Looked underneath at crash bar, no signs of damage!!

This is the second time someones rearended my 75 and twice their front end has been trashed and I drive away smug.

I bet if it was hit at an angle it would of been a very different story for my car, but counting my blessings.

Now waiting for my DMGRS delivery so I can do the 2/4 solenoid and fluid change as well as new discs and pads all round.
