Nice picture John Looking forward to seeing some pictures of you driving it on the public roads. ;D (not sure if you've finished preping it for IVA but remember to rap fuel pipe, fixed with a tie rap, around the bottom of the springs to hide the sharp edge) nigel

Hi all I thought that this thread was finished with but not yet. Picture a lovely warm afternoon driving your shiny kit car, then parking up in the local down to get some more polish. Found a space on the main street and pulled in behind CRV. Was taking off my helmet, saw a woman jump into the passengers seat, I was picking up my rucksack I happen to see the reversing lights come on for the CRV , yep you guessed it,CRV reversed right on top of my Sonic with me screaming to tell them to stop. The guy that came out was most apologetic, never saw me and the park sensors never detected me. Well, bonnet was pushed down and up at a serious angle,gel coat all cracked and a crack on the side panel where the bonnet catch tore up.No pictures sorry. After the shouting swearing had died down and I am sorry to say I would have given the American chap/with his Exocet crash a run for his money.We exchanged details. Once home after taking things apart it didn't look so bad.Ordered a new bonnet and repaired side panel. the chap sent a cheque down for bits which suited him.Not much more than his excess. I will have to wait a while for the bonnet.Though have patched the original to use just now. MORAL keep away from large 4x4's Cheers John The Atomic is getting a bit more use

Hi John
Sorry to hear about your accident At least nobody got hurt except your throat with all the shouting. Thankfully you have the other kit to play with in this good weather. If you don't mind how much was the bonnet and how long dose it take to come as mine has been damaged when the wind blew it off the front off the car be four it had the fittings to hold it down.
Cheers Andy
