On Holiday 27/8/03 to 2/9/03
 

I'll be on holiday during this period. I think we're going to take my wife's laptop so I'll be able to play games, but probably not more than once a day, maybe twice. If I go a few days without playing, do not fear. I will return to crush all who oppose me in early september! [coool]

Well, made it safe and sound. Haven't had time to play any turns yet, but will hopefully get at least one for everyone tomorrow. In further news, got sideswiped at 75mph/125kph by a 53' long truck [eek]. Here's a pic of the carnage. Of further note, the truck did not stop.
So it's a hit and run and it goes on my insurance.

You couldn't find a bigger Ford? [eek]

Cruise: I didn't want a 450 or 550. The ride is too rough and a 350 suits my needs well. Since I have a kid, I need a back seat. Since I haul stuff in the back, I need an 8 foot bed.

That all adds up to a 22 foot truck! :D

I'm back. Go to the collision center today to get an estimate on the repairs.

I bet that trucks' registration plate was real small and super dirty so there's no way you could have gotten the number right ?
European plates are in huge letter (the UK's got the best ones) and always clean...

that and traffic was moving at 125kph...by the time I made sure my wife and son were ok, he was a mile up the road, and that's only 45 seconds....

[aargh]
[shout] Fucking Bastard !

[eek]

Glad to hear you, your wife and the kid are OK though !

I've been told by a couple of truck drivers I know that he may not have even felt it as the hit was on the trailer not the cab of the driver's truck....
