Tim Bancroft Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Hi Theo, any news on the car? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 It is on its way back home (well to a friends workshop) since last week. Should probably take 3 to 4 weeks. As soon as it returns I can start planning its repairs, and probably the discussion with the insurance. But I will remain positive for the time being 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
