Doh, didn't see this... I think my post is about the same accident... Micra sounds right. Some sort of bubble shaped car at least, thought it might have been a Citroen but now you've said Micra.... 5t. P.S. did actually look to see if anyone had posted too!

Heading home last night through the Barnton junction in Edinburgh (going towards Forth Bridge) and there were several cars at the side of the road... A Citroen i think with rear damage, then another car couldn't tell what i was and then a dark blue classic with the front all stuffed in. Looked like the scoob had gone up the back of the Citroen at least and pushed them into the next one. Should be fun sorting out the insurance (although didn't look like anyone would be injured). 5t.

I did. Five days. CBT on monday, test on Friday. Passed no problem! Well worth it and around 5 or 6 hours on the road each day means you really get to grips quite fast (well if you have some sort of aptitude for it!). Currently ride a CBR 1100XX aka Super Blackbird. Brilliant bike although the seat could be comfier given touring potential. 5t.

i'm sure it can be done without removing anything... you just need to find someone with small hands... if you loosen the lamp, be careful not to scrape it across the bumper. 5t.

Can't believe the question needs to be asked. These scammers should have been shut down a long time ago. did you put no canvassers on the ad? if so, tell them where to go. Actually, tell them to advertise it and if you get a sale from them you'll give them the money. Nothing up front. You'll be surprised at how quickly they fail to put their money where their mouth is. 5t.

Terrible news chap. We seem to be a less and less exclusive club right now

I think they can actually...I was just going on the wagon in the pic... although it seems like it is from elsewhere on the car now so bit of a relief (i hope) 5t.

That's interesting news. I did have oil coming from the sump plug, new washer and ptfe tape couldn't stop it. Basically the sump and the bolt are different types/strengths of metal and the threads wear out... The good news is the sump off a classic will fit and you can pick one up second hand. The bad news is that replacing the sump on a newage means lifting the engine and fair bit of labour is involved. Sorry 5t.

At least its in a fast colour

Excellent day for it. Seemed a bit dull when i did it... but that's deliberate with Andy using bigger roads so you don't get the sense of speed. Once you set off home and put your foot down occasionally that's when you really realise what has been done! 5t.

Hello chap! Nice choice of car!

Intercooler could be worth more if it has the pipes underneath... 5t.

They might not have... without knowing how they did it they might have taken the ones with keys in or they could get keys for. Even in bits a 22b is going to be difficult to move. If they did know what they were lifting i'd expect it to be on a boat somewhere by now heading for Russia or some other Eastern Block mafia zone. Shocked that their either wasn't a tracker or it failed to help. 5t.

TBH i would ask Andy. He'll advise you on what he thinks will work best and he might recommend something else you can do if you let him know the spec of the car 5t.

Keep the bike and sleep in the car! Seriously, hope this works out for you dude. See it as an opportunity to sort out anything else that's been bugging you too and move on with things. 5t.
