What a great start to the day, not only was it raining but on leaving hammersmith and on my way to the m40 I had some woman drive into the left backside of me :( She then bounced off me and into someone else.

Got 2 nice 12 inch scratches down the back wing, not sure if its cracked as was p*ssing it down.

Then on restarting my journey halfway to work on the m40 the engine slowly ground to a halt and stopped, turned off ignition and restarted and all seemed fine again, co incidence or related?!?

Does anyone know of a good body / paint shop in SW London area - or further afield - I can get quote / repair from? I know the insurance company will try and get me to do it cheaply but screw them want it done properly!

Off to sulk :(

Bad luck! Could the fuel pump inertia cut-off have been affected by the impact?

Yeah id check the Inertia thingymabob first as it is (as far as i know) designed to cut the fuel-pump in the event of an accident to stop fuel spillage.

However it was 'pissing' down so could just simply be a wet hiccup..

Anyone else got any thoughts of wisdom?

Hi,

I work in accident management and would be happy to chat with you about our service.

I'm running a few claims at the moment for PHers (Chim, Tuscan and Noble M12). I can recommend one of our bodyshops in Chessington, Surrey who repair cars for Mole Valley TVR. They are doing the M12 at the moment.

I'll send you a private mail.

Steve

email me,

i thought i'd sent this already - but I had a 'their fault' accident and bristol and london and was supplied with a sports car at their cost and they chased all costs.
