Who leaves him now , be damned forever.

But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Re: Who is Talking/Post a Picture
Not one of me, but of my car after a head on collision yesterday. It does not look too badly damaged, but the airbags deployed and they will probably write it off. Sadly I did not think to take pictures until after we moved the vehicles to one side of the road.
The wife and I were mostly unharmed, though we both have some friction burns and she was very badly shaken. The other people were also uninjured. They appeared from behind a few cars coming towards me and must have tried to overtake them on my side of the road, though the woman driver claimed she was turning right, either way, her fault.
This was my first car and I only MOT'd it on Friday, at a cost of £300 and I am so pissed off about this, as I probably won't get it's value to me.
I should not grumble as no one was injured and that is the most important thing.
Regards,
Jerry
Whateverits just an opinion.

Hi Jerry, I know the financial cost is really annoying, but thank goodness you are all OK.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: Who is Talking/Post a Picture
Yes, the main thing is that no-one was injured. I know it's a pain but metal and plastic can be replaced, even if the process is a bind.
My car went up in a fireball on the M5 a couple of months ago. I've been offered £100 by the insurance company.
