Christ I thought you'd stacked it for a minute, going by the title ....aaaand breeeath.  ;D

look forward to seeing it finished LJay.  :y


Woman driver, so quite possible.... :)

I'd run and hide very quickly if I was you!! ;D
Actually, I can vouch for Laura's driving having been out with her when she took my car for a test drive and she would put a lot of men to shame......and she drives a 3.2 MV6 like it should be driven! :y


I was thinking more of the parking. Girlies have poor spatial awareness........ ::) ::) ::) ::) :)

Oh I dunno.....I'm pretty good at aiming a slap!  ;)


As Mr Jimbob knows only too well..... ::) ;D ;D

......enjoy your week in the bodyshop!

Dropped her in this morning to have some bits of body work sorted out.  Mainly the roof and tailgate but there's a couple of bits on the bottoms of her arches too.

Here's hoping she looks even nicer when she comes back! :)

Bye bye Bob's Laura's car......
Was talking to James about it by PM this morning - I know she still looks damn good but this should bring her back to her former glory. Let's hope the bodyshop do her justice and look forward to seeing the old girl again when I come to Chester. :y

And when might that be pray tell you shandy drinking southern softie  :P  ;D

Be afraid.........very afraid, it might be soon! ::) :y

Well, she was due to be ready today but the bodyshop has rung to say they've missed a bit so probably be ready tomorrow! 
Can't wait to get her back now.

Griffin badge is on back order at Vauxhall so she won't be looking her best immediately.  Fingers crossed it won't be long.
Going to make a decision on other badges when she's back, might leave her de-badged as the tailgate has been resprayed.

Did they remove the rear screen or just mask it up?

All you that lined yourself up for a slap by way of women drivers quips.

Would'nt worry about it to much as your not likely to be found, Navigation is not a strong point neither ;D ;D

But on the plus side if you are after a pair of shoes or a new hoover...................................... ;)

Depends really... But for a top quality, full respray including remedial work I expect you'll be into 4 figures at any good body shop :o

Going to make a decision on other badges when she's back, might leave her de-badged as the tailgate has been resprayed.

When it was in the bodyshop after the wing was crunched by a van a year or so ago, after putting on a new wing and painting, they had to respray the drivers door to get the paint to blend in. As a result they had to try and source a new MV6 badge and that became a bit of a problem. As far as I remember I think they obtained one from fleabay in the end so if you do want to re-badge her it might be worth a look. :y Look forward to seeing the results sometime in the near future. :y
