Sorry to see that mate, glad your mums ok though.

My mum borrows my astra once in a while, i'm a nervous wreck when shes out in it because shes always going on about 'Its too fast for me' and 'isn't it strange, i'll be doing 110 and it feels like i'm doing 80'

Looks repairable, 2 new doors, job done can't see any damage to the sill, abd the B pillar should be intact aswell by the looks of things.

Bummer. I bet she was shaking more when telling you, rather than from the accident. Buts its fixable and I'm sure you'll also get lots of good sunday roasts out of it aswell( there's always a bright side to these things )

She probably saw the way you drive it thought that was normal and did a massive standing launch out of tesco's and hit a trolly bay! That's what happened isn't it? On a serious note tho hope she is ok not to shook up and hey at least it's the car and not your mum

Two second hand doors off a late saff, and a bit of paint on the front and rear wings and she will be fine mate!!

Will have to sort some new door mouldings too as they never go back on right, including yours i need 6 now

Good excuse too get rid of those horid locks too and like i said to you on the phone i bet the doors were starting to rot out anyway, the pair of doors i picked up for my dads Saff are mint and only Ł20 each

Bring it up the pub tonight and ill have a proper look mate, but she will go again
