Default I've totalled the beloved but a lucky escape though.

Not had it for more than a couple of months and I've ditched the poor thing. And it'd taken me ages to find the perfect one for me .

Joking aside I was very lucky to get out alive - the fireman who cut me out from the back apparently had said that when he saw me he'd thought I was a goner...

Now got my feelers out for another...

Full story here.

Thanks for your concern.
Interesting point...but I will have NO hesitation in trying to replace like-for-like. This was a fantastic motor.
I feel pig sick because I had not had it for long &, had just put a couple of new tyres on it 3 days previous. I even tried to make an offer for it from the salvage company as it was loaded with kit.
No, the whole thing was definately my error, no fault of the car.

What a mess. I can see where the fireman was coming from!

Hope you make a full & speedy recovery!

Looking at the car pictures you're lucky to get out with the injuries you did. Glad to hear you are okay though as that is the most important thing.

Get yourself back up to speed and fully recovered before worrying about replacing the car - best of luck though in searching for the right one.
