Re: [doc] I think I wrote my 911 off tonight...

[Phil Peters <PhilPeters@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dan,

Glad to hear you're okay at least. My Dad lost it on a roundabout a few years back in his Morgan V8 and went backwards into a high kerb. That resulted in a wrecked alloy wheel and a broken O/S halfshaft (I *think* that's right....I was only a comparative nipper at the time). The car is back on the road today, good as new, still a show-stopper with only 17K miles on the clock. Obviously, landing the 911 in a ditch a slightly worse affair, but fingers crossed it might not look so bad in the morning.

By and large, a car can always be repaired; a person sometimes can't be. Let us know how you get on. 

Best wishes,

Phil
