Thanks for the comments guys - and glad others had as great a day as I did. Magic day out and big thanks to the organisers. Lets hope Bedford is finalised soon !
The momentary "lack of judgement" resulted in a few blemishes that will buff out - at least thats what I told the wife
Need n/s and O/S rear lights, new bumper and the dent man to sort the hatch. May be able to do it for less than the XS. Way I look at it is that you've got to expect the odd breakage, if you are going to have fun, and it could have very easily been a whole lot worse.
Any piccies of my "incident" would be aprreciated - I was a bit busy to take any at the time !
Cheers,
Stan
