It looks even worse when you stand next to it!

I have to say, the car really withstood the impact very well. As Mark said, "Damn tough cars!"

I don't think even Mr McB could rescue this though. :(

Yep, also saw this today in the flesh. It is actually worse in real life. It isn't really fixable. The damage at the front corner is massive. This is tough tin and an absolute pig to pull straight at the best of times. Can be done I suppose, but beyond my skills this time. Having driven this car before the damage, I can only guess how mark must feel. This was without any shadow of a doubt the fastest omega I have driven. It absoluetly flew!

 The main problem now is that front corner which is down by a good 6 inches or more. I did one earlier this year which was down by 3 inches and that was a sod. pics:

Insurance job....been paying in for long enough!

The damage is not that bad because I was stationary and the fact the van drove over the front of the car (due to the excess speed I suspect) its crushed the front pickle fork, inner wing, outer wing, slam panel and lower panel plus bonnet and fittings etc.....way to much for the insurance to fork out for though.

Amazingly, following some measurements, the chassis and suspension all appear fine.....

So, its a case of collect Allenm's car tomorrow, get it running and use that until I can source another estate!

Crikey, Mark, that IS a mess!

I often browse the net for a replacement Omega (still dreamin'), and came across this the other day (11th ad down):

If you don't mind the smell of Alsatian poo (  ;D ) and can still handle a manual box (  ;) ), you might find this of interest!

Might be worth buying it back from the insurance comp.......if you get another 3.0 auto estate....then you've got a driveway full of spare parts  :-/ , except the headlamp washers  ::)

Oh my god,
i just saw that one, thats a bad crash. I'm glad you are OK, shame for the car, but look at the positive side, that you get the opportunity once again to mess about with a new project car. I hope your insurance sorts you out.
Good luck.
