Blimey, that was lucky (well not really lucky, but could have been a lot worse) Did it do any other damage, or just the arm? As above John just arm and driveshaft replaced Trim clips snapped but no damage to the wing luckily Bloody great potholes to blame so not happy ! I have sent a claim In but won’t hold my breath on that |

We were asked to go and view this Rover convertible today, the owner has sadly passed away and it’s a family friend , the car was garaged in 2015 and unfortunately a burst water main flooded the garage a few years ago and the car was just left George and me dragged it out today to access whether it can be saved, very good condition but smells damp! We are going back next weekend to turn engine over by hand them attach a new battery and see if it will start up, we have to save it it’s a real British classic IMO   |

Just noticed the Grinning Green registration plate Dan.
Looks great and appropriate.
Still wanting to get a random cheap, dateless plate for the S10 to fit in the American style.
