    Default And, as I thought it was getting better...

    ...I lost control on a gravel road. Fish tailed across the slick mud (council didn't spread enough gravel - cheapskates) and bounced up on an embankement. Tore of front bumper - totaled one fog light and mounting. Tore rear bumber half off. And worst of all, bent what I shall call front cross memeber. I do not quite know how bad the damage is, will throw myself under the car tomorrow as I am busy drowning my sorrows in alcomahol. Pictures to follow. Would appreciate greatly any and all advice that you guys could give. On the good side, I was able to drive her home (50 odd k's). Must go and drink now...

    The s is in lower caps - from my paintball forum days. Sometimes youre sKilled, sometimes your Killed. I guess it was the latter. Feel like crap, but starting to get over it. Will post some pics later today.
