So glad you're all (relatively) OK, but being a proud owner of a 1998 Magna and of course a few typewriters myself, I really hope the car's not a write off. Mitsubishi Magna's and typewriters are a match made in heaven. Both generally fun to use, reliable and trustworthy.Steve Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08096720918399327814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-62256686518396897832013-06-17T04:56:36.345+10:002013-06-17T04:56:36.345+10:00What a way to ruin dinner, not to mention the whol...What a way to ruin dinner, not to mention the whole night and to top it off -- your car.<br /><br />I hope all goes well with all of you and you recover from the bad experience.<br /><br />That is one fantastic looking ICO.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-41288565852319420982013-06-17T03:59:27.080+10:002013-06-17T03:59:27.080+10:00I'm glad you and your family are mostly okay. ...I'm glad you and your family are mostly okay. What a scary incident! It has been many years since I've been hit by a careless driver, but I've had many recent near misses with road texting idiots. The charge against this driver is indeed ludicrous.<br /><br />This glorious red machine as an inspiration to look at on an LCD screen. I can only imagine its soothing properties in person.

Very sorry to hear about the accident, but happy that there was some 3rd-party insurance involved to help get your Typer-wagen back into action and the Laverys potential medical bills.<br /><br />Perhaps it's time to weld some spare IBM Selectrics to the bumpers of the car to ensure robust protection against collusions. :DTedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774432656602082311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-30047798727848954922013-06-17T01:06:08.724+10:002013-06-17T01:06:08.724+10:00First your computer is violated, and then the trus...First your computer is violated, and then the trusty typewriter mobile carrying not only typers but you and your friends. I would end up so apprehensive I'd be curled up sucking my thumb behind closed curtains. And here you are reaching out to the world with images of a very cheery typewriter. Indeed, who could fail to have their spirits lifted at the sight of such a lovely thing, and by the enthusiastic art behind its design. <br /><br />After a very pleasant outing yesterday (no pizza delivery vehicles encountered) my aunt and uncle were enjoying a tour of my typewriters, and they, too were impressed by the cheeriness of the various colors and the lovely body designs. They do indeed have the power to sooth, by their outward appearance, ingenious mechanical design, and the inspired flow of words. Here's hoping the injuries you and your friends sustained will be so soothed and quickly healed.TonysVisionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16035849049327300498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-63692640544220293362013-06-17T00:45:24.184+10:002013-06-17T00:45:24.184+10:00What rotten luck!

The most valuable in your car - you and your passengers - will be ok soon, and this incident will become the fodder of some conversation someday; "Remember when that pizza guy rammed the back of our typewritter-ladden car? I bet the extra weight of the typers made him stop cold in his tracks..."<br /><br />Take care, Robert! And get well soon!
