Haynes’ World is where we share stories of what we've been getting up to with our own cars, motorbikes and other vehicles.

This time: the CR-Z meets its maker!

BANG! Tinkle. Screeesh. The sound of an engine revving. A neighbour shouted: “Oh God!”

“Wonder what that was?” I thought. I donned footwear, stepped out of my front door to see a neighbour walking up to it. She said: “Is that white CR-Z anything to do with you?”

My heart plummeted faster than mercury in winter. A man was standing at the end of the path, looking sheepish and trembling. “I’m so sorry. A wasp flew down my t-shirt and…”. He’d hit the CR-Z with his Audi S5 and pushed it into the car next to it.
