Pic of said car below.
Very sad to see the Focus coming back in. Asked the owner if he was ok and he seemed to be fine - bit of a shock though I bet.
Nice bit of team work between us all to get it onto his trailer - I think I was one of 4 people hauling on the back right wheel, and there were people all round pulling and pushing to move it over. Great when people pull together to help someone out, sad that we couldn't do more

We gave him a garage as we ended up with one more than we needed and he was saying to will@msd that he was really pleased that it was nearly finished etc.
I had a good look under it and couldnt see what had bent on the rear but something had as there was loads of tow out on the passenger side.
Hope he managed to fix it, certainly a lot of work to do so though, both front chassis legs were pushed over a hell of a way!
