I hope they are paying you for the shell when they take it away, don't forget its probably worth £150 or more (depending on current scrap prices of course). Unless of course you're claiming for the car on your insurance in which case it's theirs.

I ken that. A mate bought a 340 from the safety aspect. His other half's dad is a fireman and wouldn't be having any of it if said mate came back home with a Metro for wifey to drive. Trouble was she thought it was "a bit big" and "it's grey". :lol:

...but they are great for raggin' around in though :oops:

Young drivers will only get abuse from me, only because I've not written anything off when I was their age (nor yet, touch wood) and don't understand. Yeah, I've bumped them. Yeah I've driven like half a cock (well not a complete cock). The only car I've had written off was as a result of a theft where the muppet who twoc'd it stuck it in a sign coming off a roundabout sm2

Anyway, as you were. ROLL-UP, ROLL-UP come and get them leftovers.

Hi Valman.
Glad you got out of that one still alive.
I am with alanovich there on seat belts.
I had a bad crash back in 1985 and the seat belt saved my life.
A bloody great invention :lol:
Cheers Mark.

Is the prop any use? (or I'm guessing it might be bust at the front from the shunt)
