Maniac Dutch.... (2 Viewers)

[Irishrover]

The plastic bumper needs a heat gun to get that crease out, then it can be ready for repair and paint. Hopefully he hasn't too much ( if any ) damage behind it.

 

[DBK]

It is a London plane......

Even worse. Clear sign of anti-British feelings in Europe. You must ask him for his views on Brexit.

 

[androidGB]

I would have thought it was best just to leave it until he can get it to a repairer.

There was a much bigger chance he was going to add to the damage.

I would rather be camped next to Dutch people than most other Europeans.......

You have obviously not been in a round with them.

Lovely people , but boy they don't like buying beer.

I can't believe that some " funsters" are "having a larf" about this and actually posting pics of the damage on this forum.

How low can you go..

You should be ashamed and the thread deleted IMHO..

How would the OP feel if someone did the same to him?

I'm French Canadian/ American X English/ Scots. Educated totally in the U.S. On my second Yorkshireman.None of my family like each other. And my Inner English is often ashamed at my American behaviour.

 

[Judge Mental]

The driving bit......

 

[gus-lopez]

Wouldn't it be funny if when trying to get the dent out by pulling against the tree that the tree fell on top of his van ?

Not with those top quality chinese straps.

No one was hurt, it will be covered by insurance and it looks drivable. Might take more than a bottle of T Cut to fix but on a global scale it isn't really anything to get worked up about.

And I seem to remember a few threads on here started by folk who have had an 'oops' moment. And I needed a new bumper on my car when I reversed into a lamp post. And then there was a stealth wall in Swindon which appeared from nowhere...

We have always found the Dutch to be friendly, with a good sense of humour. And they speak English very well considering it is, to them, a foreign language.

In Charent Maritime a few years ago we had been having a drink, and chatting with, a lovely young Dutch couple. The weather was hot so we were stripped the waist and wearing shorts. When we decided it was bedtime I leaned over and blew out the citronella candle. Unfortunately I overdid it a bit and blew melted wax all over his hairy chest! As well as the instant pain of the hot wax he then had to strip it off. Ouch!

Despite that we got together for the next few nights as well until we left for home.

Agreed ...

But it one thing to start a thread and post pics of one's own misfortune/stupidity and completely another to do the same thing about someone else no matter what nationality they happen to be...

Seems like "grockle" stuff to me..

The Dutch have given us Amsterdam, for that alone the world should be grateful

I suspect most of us, myself included, feel sorry for the bloke. A few eyebrows have been raised over his self-repair technique but there's nothing nasty in any of the remarks I've read.

There but by the grace of God and all that.

Do you use that word down there too! Thought it was only us who grew up in Dorset! LOL

Oh come on some of you lighten up, this guy just happen to be Dutch, thank god he wasn't black. The same scenario could have been over any nationality

 

[alfandM]

I think they might be a bit on the daft side.

I helped one off a soggy pitch in Normandy a few years ago and he thought the best way of getting off a wet pitch was to rev the ar$e out of the engine.

He was sat there for ages with his wheels spinning. I wandered over with my mats, put them under his wheels and he reversed off really quickly just avoiding a tree, and leaving my mats stuck in the mud he had created.

Not so much as a thank you either.

Ignorant and stupid.

Good manners and behavier are lacking in a lot folk these days .

I really feel sorry for these people. I would be absolutely devastated .I wonder how long they are away for ? We all look and plan our dream holidays.Does anyone think this tread should be pulled ? I'm no puss but I wouldn't want people to be looking at my misfortune. Maybe I'm getting old.

That's why it's called "going Dutch"!

Neither do I

Standard behaviour in Paisley!

Nothing wrong with the Dutch, great people. Mind you, we have some silly buggers in this country

Probably Dutch

If I'd done that I'd put it on myself, much the same as Ian's trials and tribulations,

Me too, if I'd done it I would have posted it up as well. Let's face it, we've all done some pretty stoopid things, and if we can't laugh at ourselves, we'd probably cry!
