I have to admit I would be plunged into despair if that was mine!

That said back in 1965 I had a Renault Dauphine that was one "District Nurse"owner from new with 20k miles on the clock the interior was as new the bodywork was grim.

I had new inner & outer sills & outriggers on her all four wings, new front headlamps respray she gleamed like new all undersealed. Two weeks later I rolled her end over end driving like a pratt as I was late for work one Sunday morning.

Luckily I was fully insured but I learnt a valuable lesson - that was the last accident that was my fault!

I still slow down when I drive past the scene of the accident on Radbourne Lane, Mickleover - the Hawthorn hedge I took out has now recovered!
