Cracking one's head off drivers door
This has happen to me twice, unfortunately in a hurry to get into the disco3 I inadvertently cracked the door off my forehead. very sore. I met someone recently with a big bloody patch of their forehead and asked them what happened, they cited the former with their Disco3. Has this happened to anyone else?

yes mildly, but try driving with the sun to you're right and then place the visor to you're right. all's good, sun is gone then you pull up at a rest stop and try to disembark like a swan only to exit like a drunk, whose body decides to exit while you're head wants to stay in the airconditioning. very elegant spectacle ( for others must have been a real hoot).

now I know how an emu feels. the even more stupid thing is (should keep my mouth shut really) that I forgot it was there on getting back in, so necks all straight now

Have you not got your certificate in input/output aperture training? Did you not go on the half day training course? Brute force and ignorance, the D3 does the rest.

Last year, on our Wales weekend, Ray Cooper from protrax who was in my car caught my door with his head whilst getting out. He damn near smashed the window he hit it that hard! No damage was done, and all paint was intact afterwards.
Once the blood had subsided, Ray was ok too

I think that's called sex and I learn from trial and error. my wife thinks it's a trial and me thinking I'll get some in the first place is an errormaybe first place is not the best use of words here

A few years ago, Mrs Zebadee owned a Peugeot 307 (it’s ok she’s had counseling ).
Anyway, she was getting into it one evening at a petrol station, opened the door & whacked her nose off the top corner, breaking it (her nose that is) !!!!
