Country:  | WCMUT - my court case was finally settled!
I had an incident with a bus last year (399 days ago to be exact) where it drifted into my lane and hit my car. I refused to admit any liability or accept 50/50 and took it all the way to the small claims court. Things started off well when it turned out the driver himself had left the company and was untraceable, so they couldn't get a statement from him. Their case rested on an old woman who was on the bus at the time, and had claimed in her witness statement she had observed me driving into the back of the bus.
After the opening statements 'Did you see the car from where you were sat?' 'No' 'Could you tell if the bus was in its correct lane?' 'No' I was pretty sure I was quids in. Sure enough, the poor old dear was very quickly proved to have no idea of what happened, after it was pointed out it would have been impossible to have seen my car or known the intentions of the bus driver. The end result was a claim in my favour, and £900 on its way to me to repair my car. It's taken a while, and a lot of paperwork, but there is nothing like the sensation of finally being proved right
So big cheers to me, and to First Bus, in the best football terrace style 'who are ya!?' |

Country:  | Had my first few flights in the TH-57B. Damn - that is a ton of fun. I was hovering like a severely drunk man for the first two flights... now I hover like I'm only moderately intoxicated. Getting the hang of it.
Being able to stop in mid-air and hover is an incredible feeling!

Wish me luck. | Good luck with that. Hopefully it will work out for you. If it does not, well that's why they invented the chokeslam.
