Well a bit of good news. I've got a letter from bt, saying they accept responsibility and want to repair the car without going though my insurance. They are including a hire for me to use. Should take them up on the offer?

I think they will give either a Corsa or a Insignia... So the correct way of using a hire car is to, 1st hold the revs up to 5k and dump the clutch, 2nd to do clutch less gear changes on a manual, 3rd is to bounce off the rev limiter.

but of course I wont be doing that kinda thing ....... much

So something tiny or something massive? Last time I had a bump (pre scooby) I got a micra, before that I got a diesel 106, which I managed to spin out in the wet taking the longfield turn off from the M2, which was a surprise as it rarely had enough road to get above 20mph.

Me and my mate were driving in London one night when his clutch cable snapped. He called his recovery people out and they contacted a garage open at midnight about 3 miles away. When they came to collect the car, rather than towing it or putting it in a loader one of the guys got in and drove it - without using the clutch, even starting it up and pulling away. When I had the micra I tried to master this fine art. Changing up is quite easy, down a bit trickier but never managed to pull away from stationary without using it.

I've just pick a message about my car, from BT fleet management. They are annoyed that Subaru don't have any rear bumpers for my car and are having to ship one from Japan. Also its like double the price.

It should be ready next week tho'
