I'm quite sure it'll be fixed (but it will cost a penny!)

Still, the owner must feel rather bad..

[jamesatcandsc]

Oh dear. That is horrible to see.
I hope the occupants were OK.

Drive it as is - the rat look.

Wonder if it had anything to do with the swing axles? Also always wondered how you get out if you roll one.

Crashed by a mechanic from the garage which was servicing it apparently...

I'm sure some pain was inflicted when he returned to the garage...

presumably only until he made it to garage and had to explain firstly to his boss, and then to the owner.

Can we assume this followed someone saying, "Helmut, vatch ziss..."

OR...

"Oh fk, das ist es wirklich getan. Hilfe, Hilfe das Auto total kaputt und der Chef wird mich töten!"

Hello Ben, this one's bit of big-off ditch-finding change of underpants moment! Have you sold "ton bolide francais" yet?

[benjj]

Yep, the goddess has gone, I'm mortified (d'accord) but currently searching for the next. I've actually already decided after a lot (and I mean a lot!) of considering.

Hoping to have cash and workshop all sorted by end of spring.

Das ist nicht gut gegangen!

Seems so. Apparently, a 26yr. old employee of the workshop was driving, with the 19yr. apprentice in the passenger seat. Both unhurt; workshop owner says car owner appeared relaxed and damage is insured.
