  1. Hi Jay and thanks for the welcome. Insurance guy said the roof was too damaged and would be at least a Cat C if not worse, so it's not going back on the road in the current body shell - even though they're a tough little motor! It's being brought back next week so I'll have a proper look at it then - maybe a donor car for something or other? Failing that my youngest is very handy with spanners so I could break it down for spares or challenge him to build something new? All the running gear was spot on (apart from the clutch) and it was a low speed roll (just happened to be down a 6ft bank into a field!). Even the central locking worked as I walked away through the snow, to the amusement of passers-by :-)
  2. ..... but it didn't last long. I did have a clean '51 plate S Turbo that was a real joy. Bought it just before Christmas and until 3 weeks ago it didn't miss a beat. Superb in the snow too. Now I have a slightly squashed one - hit a snow drift in a blizzard and ended up, upside down in a field! Ouch. So, what to do now? I haven't made an insurance claim - what with the increased premiums and and high excess I had, I would end up with next to nothing - so I either have a project car, a car to break (good engine and gearbox etc etc.,) or do I look for one with a blown engine and transplant? Any ideas? OJ
