Nah ---- can't see what all the fuss is about. Half an hour with some filler and a bit of T cut and you'll have it sorted !!

Joking aside, hope you're all feeling a bit better than last evening.

Mike.

You'll soon have that put to rights, couple of weekends at the most - will make a great winter project ;) I hope your family aren't suffering too much today - they've taken quite a jolt !

Best wishes to you and yours, Colin.P

Thanks, yes it could have been very much worse, with our daughter in law and both grandchildren in the car and the road was busy and she went across onto the wrong side - and nobody hit her. Our next door neighbour was behind her, and the paramedic new me, so it didn't take long for the news to get round, especially as the car was left there overnight with the number plate clearly visible.

The car just folded in on the wheel in the first impact so she had no chance of steering it. Relief all round

Thanks for all your kind comments - and the humerous ones :D
