Good to meet up with everyone today - thanks Tony for organising it. Hope there was no more drama after my little incident... Had car collected - needs new rear wheel, two new tyres, new hub assembly and a little bodywork too! Could have been worse... Went back to the scene to collect some trim which had come off and found Imperial blue paint on kerbs on both sides of the road.

Hope to meet up with you again, and big thanks to Dieter for the loan of his spare wheel.

Glad to hear no major damage, sounded wheel bearingish noise as you went by. Nice to meet you and hopefully you get the car sorted quick.

Thanks Alan. Yes, you are right the wheel bearing is knackered too. Hub is banana'd - hope there is no suspension damage, will have to see if the handling is ok once I have another wheel fitted - all looks fine. Was the sprint good when you got there?

It was OK, not really my thing I normally go along for the blat and to chat to some jolly nice peaople.

Yours didn't look too bad, I would have expected the wishbones to crease before damaging the hub. Still you walked away which is good. Tony & Simon nearly T boned a mondeo on the way back yikes
