Think their no claims bonus may be at risk with this one:
 Car: 1992 Citroen XM Description: While driving out of a parking lot, the brakes failed and the car got caught on someone's balcony. Location: Ankara, Turkey New method for getting better access to the rear centre sphere? Or was it a scene edited out of Ronin or a Bond film? Lucky the car's as long as it is!! Andrew |

Hi Andrew,
Congratulations - that's a classic! Damn lucky it got caught on the balcony by the look of it. I bet they couldn't do that a second time! I wonder what went through the drivers head when he realised where he was. You should send it in to the Citroenian (Citroen Car Club magazine). They've been running a series of caption competitions recently and this would take some beating. Cheers Roy -------------------- '98 'R' XM 2.5 TD Exclusive Saloon RP 7200 Magenta

What's the betting the REAL reason for this calamity was the autobox selector digits
on the dash not showing D or R and he unwittingly accelerated out of the space... backwards!!  He'd look a real numpty telling everyone that, but blame the car instead as it's a Citroen, and nobody would ask awkward questions! Wonder if it's a V6!! It's got colour coded mirrors/scuttle trim and black door strips!?  Andrew |

Indeed! Good thing for the driver that the boot hatch got partially opened by the impact - I imagine it must have been the only safe exit available? Can you imagine how gingerly they must have crept across the backs of the seats? Wonder if the residents of the flat came home to find a stranger on their balcony waiting to be let in?
