Vista Posted January 10 Report Posted January 10 Oh dear. Sorry to see that Nige. Doesn't look to major though and can all be fixed. What happened?

The car is kept in a barn which has a sloping drive leading up to it, yesterday I decided to get it out into the fresh air and natural light for a bit of a spring clean, in 1st gear slowly edged out straight onto a patch of frozen water, front wheels locked up and instead of turning to the left to follow the drive down it went straight on into a solid Cornish stone wall on the right! I have spoken to the insurance company and await their decision, fingers crossed that it will be covered and repaired 🤞

It was my daily driver back then. The back end went out on ice pulling onto my Dad's drive in Scotland and I stove the nearside rear arch in. Not happy.

It’s a horrible feeling but as the wife keeps telling me “you didn’t get hurt and the car is fixable”
