really sorry to hear about you bash. When I had my little "mishap" with Gerry's car I felt SO angry and we knew it was the other guy's fault - to make you feel even better that was in April and insurance still hasn't settled. GRRRRR.

Igor thinks 'ouch'

Igor also thinks that if you were going straight, then its not your fault, but if you were turning then it was.

Igor hopes it you going straight and you got lots and lots of witnesses.

i'd never seen a 'deployed' side air bag before.

FONTAL · Sep 9th, 2002, 10:34 AM

The side air bag went off with one hell of a bang I thought that it had bruised me,
Note on the second pic the crack in the door post at the bottom which is not on a weld so it is causing me a bit of worry

smiffy · Sep 9th, 2002, 02:53 PM

Its repairable, Ive seen worse crashed MINI's

dcfkan · Sep 9th, 2002, 04:06 PM

B@gger!

Anymore news about whose fault it was?
