Death of a Scorpio Cosworth - You just gotta see this!
Hi Guys,
I thought that you would be interested in what greeted me first thing on Christmas morning!
My beloved 1993 24v Scorpio was totally flattened by a poxy pine tree! Believe it or not, in some ways I count myself lucky because if the tree had fallen in a slightly different direction it would have taken out my house...
What now? Should I buy lots of glue, some duct tape and a staple gun and try and fix it?

They will take your money yeah, but it wont be legally insured if you are resident in Spain and the car has no MOT.

I have to say it held up pretty well. I've seen cars (incl. an E-Class merc) completely flattened by a tree like that. Granny = tank
