Default Woohoo!

It's been a long time coming (or at least it feels like it has), but apparently my car's finally ready after my little incident before Christmas, so I'm going to go and check it out tomorrow.

If all is OK, then I'm driving it home. If not, then it's the loan car for me for a while longer

Good stuff.

Sounds like ages ago you mentioned that it was being repaired.

What exactly happened anyway?

I managed a very delicate 180 degree spin straight into a motorway slip road crash barrier - wasn't really going that fast so the damage wasn't too bad - I was still able to drive the car home afterwards so that should give you an idea.

However, it's had quite a bit of work done to it to make it right again!

The worst thing of all though was that on my way into work a couple of weeks ago I watched a Lotus Elise do exactly the same thing! Luckily, they missed the barrier by a few mm

Sounds a bit like what I did the November before last, except I fish tailed one way then the other, rather than doing 180.

Who is doing your repairs?
