What a di**!

[torque2me]

What was supposed to be a good day has turned out to be one of my worst. Get the car from my parents garage where it has been all year, ten minutes in lost the back end, hit the reservation and doesn't look pretty. Been taken to Bespoke performance and I'm now waiting to hear. Can anyone recommend any good body shops in the London or Herts area?

After such a long abstinence I guess you suffered from premature enthusiasm and lost control all over the dual carriageway.

And now you feel that you have, well and truly, had your back doors smashed in. It started well but now you can't believe it has ended like this......enough of this 'Carry On'.

Sorry to hear about this. I sometimes wonder if I have luck or judgement so I'm guttted for you but I always say "Always look on the bright side of life..". A chance to upgrade perhaps. That would happen after a big drink and a short bout of moping. One has to mope for a bit. It's part of the healing process and you'll come through a much stronger and wiser TVR owner.

Hi Lester, it's going to Hiltons tomorrow, fingers crossed it's not too bad.

Are you going to share and make me feel a bit better?

Come on Lester,spill

i was shuffling cars around on my drive, had just put new shingle on the drive, thought i was in reverse, looked behind me to reverse and drove forward straight under my range rover :-( i nearly stopped but new the shingle ........... i havent had a my fault accident in 25 years and then i do two of my own cars, the shame.
the damage wasnt as bad as it could have been, im expecting the work hiltons have done to come out rather good, but they have taken quite a long time, and i was hoping to go to alexs barbecue /engine out bash tomorrow in the chim :-(

doh!
