<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

It involved Simon, his 306 Rallye and a head-on collision with an Omega (iirc). I've tried to find the pics, but can't atm. I'm sure Simon will either link them or stick them up when he's ready.

Left or right? Mine was in my left, I could drive an auto. Ah, the good old NHS, they made my left leg longer than my right and at the time I was promised all sorts of back problems "later in life" (i.e. now :( ) They also failed to spot my cruciates were screwed up until it was too late to do anything about it.

Still, it was touch and go whether I'd end up as a timber toe so I shouldn't complain too much. But then I like complaining so I will :cheesy:
