Bad bad things... the most important thing is that you're Ok and havent been injuried, but seeing that is so sad..
Dont break it for parts anyway, and go for a rebuild, good luck!

did you get Huey back today ?

No, there are negotiations going on to get him down to Tupmans Minis of Kingsteignton. I need the insurance assessor's verdict. Whatever happens those who have seen him so far say he can be rebuilt.

So sad to see this happen to such a lovely car.

I am relieved to hear that you are ok Teapot!

I'm sure it will be looking shiney and new again in no time! Good luck

Does anyone else think Huey should return low and wide on 10" wheels?...

...Just me then? Hehe.

Glad to hear that he's repairable, by the sounds of your accident, there was no "collision" to speak of so the car shouldn't be bent or twisted, repairing that side will just be panel replacement I imagine (I make that sound easy and it's just not).

Can't wait to see him return, I want to see him at some shows when I eventually manage to get to some!

Huey has been removed down to Paul Tupman Minis in Newton Abbot. I feel he now has someone to fight his corner when the assessor arrives. We have some serious talking to do.

Oh dear, now you've started me thinking ... all those lovely pickups I've seen on 10"ers ... there was a blue one at Castle Combe going like stink ... help!

hey there just seen the pictures,sorry to see!! what a bummer! only thing is as you say you are alright and the soundtrack moment has real pub yarn value!! if you need inspiration look at the front view which is more like pre whoopsy,surely that looks good enough to remind you of why you bothered and how cool that truck looks?

That's good, much better if he gets a tick next to the box "Economical Repair" than not .

You know you want the wide tens Teapot, and as an argument for, I think if you'd have slipped on tens, the side wall of the tyre would have flexed and carried on skiding rather than digging in and rolling you on your side. Just something that crossed my mind.

Can we organise for as many TMFers to be there as possible whilst he makes the assessment? Not to make him feel under any pressure or anything
