In Liverpool, the worse things get, the more we laugh about it. Dont give up. While you have breath in your body and food to sustain you, you are not beaten.

Not economically viable unfortunately

You'd be surprised at what can be done with the help of the lads here --- don't write the mig off just yet ---- post up some pics and get some opinions on the damage.

I like to jump from everything is fine to 'Ohhhhhhh! my God it's the end of the world as we know it'.

My close friends call me Binary Dave--either full on or full off.--which is funny because my names actually Gary.

Dependant on the catagory of right off it might be worthwhile considering buying it back off the insurance company. It doesn't take much damage to right off Omegas especially if it's body work damage. With the low book price of miggys the price should be o.k. Also with the abundance of spares on the market it might be viable to either repair it yourself or get some quotes off independant garages.

Thanks all -even STMO for the helpful mental health advice.

Will post some pics and get some advice here and  take it from there.

Where the money's coming from I don't know.Evening paper came tonight and Thursday is Jobs night--Not a job section in it tonight-wtf.

Did see advert though for nude modelling at art college earlier.Not bad money for just sitting around without your kit on.

Phoned them up for more details and yes they still need models.

Thing is how do I break it to my wife she's posing for 3 day classes and 2 night classes next week.

He swerved to avoid hitting stationary car and I swerved to avoid same car but ran into back of him when he stopped in opposite lane.

Hope that helps.

Oh dear,take my heartiest condolances from a fellow Leedser,I do know what a sickener,and how you must feel.I wrote off my lovely MV6 facelift estate witch had everthing Recaro leather, even LS Diff, it still hurts after 2 yrs.Hit a full size stag that jumped the hedge on a 2 mle stretch of B road on the scenic route from Flamborough. Not going to tell my speed but if it hadn't been for that really solid miggy takeing the shock and collapsing in the right places my wife and I would have suffered at best serious injury.Lesson was realy learned.Expect the unexpected.Can I ask you is your miggy a write off? I know the best body man in Yorkshire and also paint sprayer he has a spray booth.PM me if your interested.
