Hope she's OK mate... Car doesn't matter, it can be replaced!

Get her down the hospital just in case there are any problems with whiplash... Probably won't show until tomorrow anyway!

An unwelcome call at any time gte, hope things aren't too serious :y :y

Medical attention is always a good idea as is informing the police - not taking no for an answer - of course :y

I know this is the general attitude nowadays but it is also one of the reasons our insurance premiums keep going up and up ::) ::)

I saw a Corsa in a hedge today, inside of a bend as usual for a WWD car.

thanks for the kind words swmbo is ok at the moment no pain or anything she went to the doctors on the advice of the insurance company just to be on the safe side and to have a record in case or problems later
car will need a new back bumper and  a new tow bar as far as i can see without getting underneath
car is booked in to an insurance approved repairer to give a quote for work on monday
insurance chap said because of the age of the car it will more than likely be an uneconomical repair  :(
