as said unlucky, but have to give it to you that you'll be back, many people just would sell them on or break them....... credit given were credits due, hope it comes back better and badder

Well.... um///////?
Maybe BHP?
Lets try 1x205@300+1x205@?250=550
and my1x205@240+1x185@190=430
and from memory 1x185@315+1x185@230=545
subtract one from the other and....
mark=140
I=-40
and u=155
I dunno... just rambling :)

Unlucky dude, at least you crashed it properly, i reversed mine rather fast into a lampost, done the bumper, off side light cluster destroyed the rear quarter, didn't scratch the lampost though...... ;D, got it back last week all nice n shiney again, luckily my missus loves the 205 so didn't mine me paying out for the repair ;)
