Thx for the replys.. after several large glasses of Scotlands finest and some very loud music I have re surveyed the damage.. and it dont look too bad, i hope, new boot lid and rear end as its cracked along the line of impact but not much more than that. Think it was my dream shattered more than my car thank the lord 
RAC just called me saying that they will have to take it to Oxen to have it repaired as their '1st choice' couldnt repair tivs... mmm it could be a long and winding road ... i hope not... btw it was one of the fairer sex who ' thought i had gone' at the rounderbout, yes she was insured and no I wont be stopping at any more rounderbouts from now on

If your at a loose end tommorrow around 11ish pop on over to the George IV at Balldock (TVRCC Herts meet). Come smell the exhaust fumes, hear the roar and have a chat, bring some photos, we'll do our best to answer any of your questions etc....

Unlucky Tim - welcome though
If there is any silver lining at least its still winter-ish so getting it sorted in the next few weeks wont eat into too much decent (hopefully) driving weather.
Scant consolation I know.
Oh btw...make sure that you book up for this years Growl. Drop me a PM if you want to know more but its a must!!

Thanks for the inv Hoover, would love to come along, unfortunately I will be cooking Breakfast and Sunday lunches for the masses at our farm ( although I dont think I have any bookings yet !! ), so doubt I will get the time but if I can sneak away without the misses noticing I will I have a few questions I would like to ask so it would be handy to say hello and meet you all.
