C is for Careless Car Casualty

Just a minor blip in my day, but one which I know is bound to be very tiresome to sort.

Was reversing out of my driveway and the gate wasn't in its usual spot, with the result that I took out my right hand rear vision mirror.

I just know that when I take it to the garage in the morning the guy will look at me as tho it's probably the most perplexing problem he's ever come across, and if I'm lucky and they can find the part, that it might only take five weeks to arrive.

I can't tell you how irritating (and, I suspect, dangerous) it is to check the mirror and see this.
