I hope they hit you on the already damaged panels.
Well mine mended, and in the dog house due to £615 bill from Prosport (top job as usual though) and still to get wheels refurbed.

Beefy, going around a quick left then quick right in the rain, the back stepped out so came off the power (like a Kn*b) and the car flicked back bringing the back around in an anti clockwise direction. I am now going backwards at about 60-70mph, so I slam the brakes on trying to keep away from armoco.
I then came off the brakes as the car started to come back around to face the right way.
As it was nearly facing the right way I put the power on trying to drive the spin out. The only problem was that car went on the grass and as I tried to drive off the nearside front wheel hit the armoco and then the rear hit too.
Resulting in a bent wishbone, track rod end and knackered ball joint and requiring 4 wheel alignment again. Car now ok barr scuffed wheels and 2 small scratches, one front bumper spat and rear bumper. drives A1 now and will sort rest of stuff over next month.
I didnt have the ***** to go back out in it due to car was not totally stable in right bends.
Did go out as passenger and Chris did offer me a go in his which I thought was a very kind jesture (if not mad)

Wow that sounds a little more exciting than you wouldve hoped for martin. Sorry to hear about it but glad you have now fixed the worst of it (although at a cost). I guess it couldve been alot worse though....

hello andy
i would get that on the road as soon as mate, what an advert for your work, imagine the lookers and pictures that there would be if you drove down deansgate on saturday afternoon or evening and parked outside "the livingroom" and went in for a drink, its where posh and becks go for a drink, you could even sell ad space or paint the car in sponsors colours while doing track days or even invite sponsors to trackdays , i bet 99% of the buyers would want it on the road!! the car looks to good tobe seen only in photos!!

first off hi all and many many thanks for letting the non scoob come along with its over opinionated co driver :P
had an absolute mega time and thanks to all that made it that way.
Chris watched the dvd yet another top job .
have you looked on www.thegreenhell there are some good pics of you all in the gallery.
car went away on a low loader two days after trip well pissed off with it now hard faced @@nts offerd me 10k less than I payed for it 5 months ago but its time for a caged stripped E36 M3 me thinks and something comfy for day to day (CSL would be nice but Mrs Child I doubt would approve of the expenditure)
mr abs (sorry i mean state ) i will send u the mullered M3 pics when i can be arsed and I get off the xbox flying roumd the ring terrorising porky on live with my demolition derby antics.
please please will you all let it be known publicly that mr state was the king of the ring (lol ) and that we are not worthy of his driving space in the hope that the long suffering mrs State may .get some peace and quiet
Andy S lettig Mr state out in one of those fragile things could be a big mistake my car feels a lot looser than it used to and im sure its not me
but seriously i had better be invited (to watch ) or mr State will be getting invited to f all with me again
had a great time and am trying to arrange time april/march to go again if anyones interested.
