Ouch. Bloody bad luck - how'd you do it?

Try Car Transplants at Crewe, they will have a site on t'internet and will do mail order I think too. Worth a shot.

Most professional breakers outfit within 100 miles of here.

Cheers Lee - I'll give 'em a go.

I bet Di was glad she wasn't driving!

I wouldn't give yourself too much of a hard time - sounds like something anyone of us could have done. I once came back beaming from Grumble passing the MOT and reversed straight into my Series 3 - which I forgotten I'd moved a couple of foot forward so Charlotte could get the Disco in (always check the mirrors for people, forgot to check where the S3 was...).

Mind, bashing the front of the S3 out was prolly less expensive than you're looking at, but hey, you will have these flash motors :-)

Oh dear. I guess the Tom Tom didn't show that stump either then.........

Reynolds, that's just cheeky.

Exactly. Keeps 'em in line a treat.

She has a good sense of timing and will wait until the right moment, I'm sure :-)

Whilst of our 'country adventure' - procuring Simons battery and getting stoned in the model village, Di mentioned the lack of 'back seat drivers' - which given we literally had a car-full was surprising. We all felt she was driving fine, until then, of course - rag to a bull, we then started telling her to mind that car / house / helicopter :-)

IMO, she's actually a very good driver and was evaluating the power to weight ratio in anticipation of towing the caravan to France. Don't you just hate it when women do that...

you should see the criticism I get with driving burrt and the glass trailer. Then I point out she can't drive burrt because of his plated weight, or the size of the trailer.

Simon Isaacs uttered summat worrerz funny about:

Speaking of which how does Burrt tow? Does he sit right and how is the steering.... I'd guess lighter until it's time to park in a tight spot.

Three of my neighbours have said it to me over the last week.

Hadn't realised they follow our adventures on the website.

One of them recognised Burrt from the short stay outside Poggle Wood last year too, which I was somewhat impressed by, I have to say! :-)

the trailer is an exhibiton unit, so there is no weight added to the back axle. The layout is an axle at each end of the trailer, and a simple height adjustable A Frame connected to a turntable for the draw bar, similar to the trailers towed behind Class 2 trucks.

If father had come to the unnofficial I would have found out how he tows a normal caravn, but he didn't....

It weighs about 2.5 tonnes, so hills can be interesting, but generally drags it at 50ish, which is what I managed with the Disco.

Still got to sit down and work out my fuel figures for Gaydon, so will let you know!
