blimey!
Glad you're ok - when I first saw the car I thought you might have been pretty poorly so a lucky escape methinks...

these things happen but in those 3 or 4 seconds, you learn respect for the car
you're driving that may have taken you years of stupid risks to find out.
everyone walked away from mine and like you, i went for a full cage on the new one. the finish on this one's everything i wanted the first one
to be, though mine did cost about 4k in parts and additions to rebuild.

Wow, that was a fair old bump. Still at least the MK Indy is well supported so you'll easily be able to source all the new bits required (once
you have built up the required ££).
Was there much damage to the Merc?

Oh mate, so sorry to see that picture, I really feel for you. Hope you get sorted and as many have said glad you're ok.
No chance of getting the merc fixed privatly to try and keep it from the insureres and it maybe then easier to repair the chasis  on yours
Take care

Try to get it sorted between the 2 of you if possible.
You got away from the car which is a good thing, but you don't want your @rse rapped from the insurance comp.

Thanks for all the comments.
I will try and have a word with the other party, but I think this will be an insurance job unfortunately

Many thanks for your offer - I am going to try and get the car back as soon as possible (needs to be inspected by the police apparently at the place
where it was recovered to) then strip it down, see what I can salvage.
I am very determined to get back on the road now! The weather is just taunting me

Hi James,
Sorry to see and hear about the shunt. I'd be up for helping with the spanners in exchange for a coffee!
Get a few of us together and we'll make some speedy progress. It'll be like a montage from an A-Team episode...
Full cage is a good idea. Chin up.

to come to my workshop for full strip and rebuild

Gutted for you, but as said many times already ^^^ the main thing is that you're okay.
Also nice to see the offers of assistance, this site continues to restore my faith in human nature.

Cheers everyone for the kind words and offers for help! 
I have the car back at a fellow locostbuilder's farm, I will start to strip it down this weekend I think when I can get to it.
The police officer (who forgot to let me know the car was ready for collection, so I incurred 2 days of storage fees at the recovery place) is coming
round tonight to interview me under caution for DWDC He says its just a formality but will recommend that I go on a speed awareness course which I
will have to pay for. Gah!

nice one on the car mate, not so good on the DWDC i got 5 points for that once  , i would do the course now if it was offered to me, mind you the
bugger i hit went to town on the claim too, but he did break his leg and ruptured his splean . From memory his land rover rolled at lest once
!.
Car note James, if you need owt give us (locosters too) a shout.
