The sad saga of my Brabus G400

My son and his friend, en route back from France where they had been taking part in a fund-raising run for the Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital, were driving back down the M11 late one night at about 75mph. Out of the blackness appeared a lorry wheel which hit the G Wagen smack in the centre of the radiator. It made a vast gash in the front of the car, set off all the airbags but son and friend were totally unscathed. Had they been in any vehicle other than a G-Wagen they would probably be dead.

The damage looked at first sight to be relatively superficial but on closer inspection the vehicle may well need a new engine, certainly needs a new chassis and as a result the insurance company have written it off.

Anyone who is interested should, I suppose, phone the insurance company (the NFU Mutual) and speak to Jerry Risebrow on 01954-213836.

In the meanwhile I have gone over to Germany and have bought myself yet another G400CDI. This is my seventh G-Wagen.javascript:emoticon(':cry:')
