And for my next trick...

This is Tim. A nicer bloke you couldn't wish to meet. It's a shame the circumstances weren't better though. Tim came and recovered my car after a young lady tried to remove my rear wheel by coming out of a tightish bend very fast and very pear-shaped and very much on my side of the road in her Ford Puma. Result: Airbags aplenty and bits of suspension and sundry bits all over the road.
Looks like both cars will be written off according to the nice people at Saffron Garage.
Apart from that it's been quite a pleasant day and the police lady was lovely.
And at least I don't have to worry about the scratch now.
