I know am a total space cadet...but look at the clouds in the vid when you're heading towards the hairpin

Yup - that's how to take the chicane

+1!!! You do not have to use the insurer's preferred repairer. They can however require you to provide two quotes and will deny you a courtesy car if you choose your own garage - but I think its worth it to know that the quality of the work is going to be good. Is it Admiral by any chance? Erm, yes - it's Admiral - you don't work for them do you? Thanks for all of the advice, I'm going to go and get some independant prices. If anyone can recommend any other bodyshops in the Farnborough, Aldershot or Guildford area then it would be welcomed. No I do not I'm insured with them and have had two bodywork claims in the last year. Neither of them my fault. Both times they gave me the "well we would like you to use so & so" and I told them very clearly that I would not be using their approved repairer due to the difficulty colour matching and that I had my own preferred bodyshop who I knew would do a good job. They asked for two quotes the first time - one came form my preferred bodyshop - the other Nissan - significantly more expensive - they instructed Nissan! Only thing is the bodyshop I wanted to use does all the work for the local Nissan place anyway so ultimately I got my own way.

Jim - should've read the listing

Well for that price its worth a shot

Yup Girrrrl powah!

Some very obscure early Umma Gumma type stuff at the start - (obviously well before my time ) but still nice and chilled for a Friday night

Looks like its a Floyd night on Beeb 4 oooo the flashbacks

Have fun with it...you haven't let your Gran drive it yet then?

"Hi ho hi ho ......" ...

Iain Ross @ Luncarty - I've used him several times now - but do not expect it to be cheap

Erm... excuse me... was not originally my idea!!!! I simply gave it the thumbs up when it was suggested

Cool Martin! See you there - I won't get there until about 10 though - I have decided I deserve a lie in
