This is what happens when one of them is not looking where they are going





we were about 2 minutes from home on the way to the Volvo National so now have to wait for the insurance to sort out.

Ouch. Hopefully your towbar meant that the offending people's car came off worst?

Modern cars have plastic that bends so you can't see the damage but for the damage done to Gracie we should imagine that there must be something bent and twisted under there .

Sorry to see that you suffered damage to your nice Wagon Rolling Eyes

hope they get it fixed/done up, all correct, to the same as before.

I had this happen to me twice Rolling Eyes both times driving my Green Mini.

second time, it was just after I spend a summer, and loads of money to restore it Evil or Very Mad

Well the work is now nearly complete unfortunately could not take any rear shots due to the way she was parked . The engine has been repainted and the engine bay cleaned up something we always wanted done and since the twin carbs have been fitted seemed appropriate .


Rear end stripped for repairs a few weeks ago ,




Engine bay ,


Clean lines ,




And as the insurance company replaced the rear bumper we bought a new front bumper as the old one was pitted ,


We should be picking her up next friday in time for the NEC .

Don't forget to post some pics after the NEC Smile I was half-tempted by an Amazon the other day but common sense prevailed fortunately.
