just got a surprise - rang the insurance to get temporary cover for the loaner the body shop are giving me & they're not charging for the cover for 48 hours. not often you get good news from an insurance company

i wonder how a 1.2 sxi corsa handles?

what's worse, having your pride and joy destroyed or having to drive a Corsa!

Hope all is sorted well.

!

got it back this arvo & its as good as new, they've done a great job


ps the corsa was surprisingly good - nicely bolted together, quiet, nippy. a bit bouncy on the suspension but then again isn't anything compared to the mini, & completely annonymous but by no means the worst car i've driven.

I know how you feel. Some kids slingshoted my car with glass marbles. They also did 40 other cars in the area that night.

At the moment cant think of anything do to these kids when caught red handed but I am sure if it happens to my mini, there will be fumes blowing out from my head

There was fire coming out of my ears. I saw the car but not the number plate. A few other people saw the car as well but the police said even if they catch them they would only get a slap on the wrists. I contacted all local media just iin case the parents had suspicions.
