Rachel was unhurt but very shaken.

She's gutted at what we know th einsurance assesor will tell us. My bro and I spent about half an hour bending the metal work off the wheel so we could get the car home

Don't think so b19bal as the car crabbed all the way home and the metal work has disintegrated behind the bumper. The petrol cap has been pushed half way up the 3/4 panel and I can't get at it.

It may roll again but I'll be very surprised

Thanks people

Rachel read this at work and said she wanted to thank everybody for their kind words

The courtesy car should be being dropped off in the morning. Now we need to sort out the value of the car as I know they are going to try and fob us off with a pitance
