An old lady just shifted lane, over full stop lines and without looking back.  >:( Well, back to the repair shop.  :-/
Anyone who have a backender for sale.  ???

Bl**dy shame! Sorry to hear about that - at least no-one was hurt.<br><br>Looks expensive ...<br><br>Good luck with the insurance etc.

[John_W]

Delta,<br>Condolences. Sometimes "defensive driving" isn't enough. <br><br>Tonight somebody pulled out of a junction in front of me on a 50 mph road - I missed him, but only because there was nobody coming the other way. I was lucky and you were not.<br><br>Best of luck getting it fixed.<br><br>John :-/

[Doug]

:'( Condolences, Delta  :'(  Glad you are okay!

OMG, Delta!  :o Geez!  :o I'm really sorry this happened. Looks like it's just the front quarter; hope that's all. Glad you're not hurt.

I sympathise Delta and hope you get it fixed OK and without too much hastle.  If it's any consolation, 10 days ago I survived a nasty accident in a hired Ford Mondeo hatchback that's now about the size of a Rover 25! Got hit from behind by a massive truck and pushed into a queue of stationary cars in front.  9 cars were damaged! I got whiplash, several grazes and bruises plus a black eye and a bloody nose from the airbag.  I'm on the mend now but still driving a bit slower than I did before - I guess that will wear off soon enough! I just thank God that I was driving a modern  NCAP 4* rated car and not the Lotus.

[delta]

Thanks for all your support guys.<br><br>I hope the repair can be done in a short time, as I have made a fair deal with the insurance. They pay me for dooing the repair myself, as we dont have Lotus dealers/workshops in Denmark. So now I'm in the marked for all the needed parts.<br><br>Elanbloke.<br>You must consider yourself as lucky, as it's this kind of accidentes you normally don't survive. :-X Hope you have a speedy recovery.  :)<br>Best luck<br>Delta. <br><br>

[Matt RI]

Glad to hear that you are okay and that everything worked out with insurance.  Upsetting to see pictures of bent up Elans- makes me worry about taking mine out on the road!<br><br>Best of luck repairing, Delta- I'll let you know if I see anything on parts that might help...<br><br>

[Jeff]

Sorry that it happened to you Delta.<br><br><br>On a side note, didn't someone purchase the Elan body panel moulds from Kia?

[delta]

Back on the road again, and even with the rollbar installed.

[TStevens]

Looking good Delta, I'm glad you managed to repair her, after so much work last time was lost for words to see this post.

[Monty]

Well done Delta, hope u did well out of the Insurance. Just watch out for those old ladies.
