May we have a condition report on the aches and pains please? Especially necks, backs and round the middle. I think there are exercises you can do regularly to check that joints are ok.

Also I believe that after a trauma like this, even with no serious injury, it should be talked out completely until the bad feelings become more manageable. Some of us like to think of tmf as a big family.


*Eeew he'll be suggesting a group hug next GERROFF*

TMF group hug? Sounds great!!

Raz report- Not as achey, but then climbing through Molly trying to sort the wires out strained my back a little, i can feel it a bit dodgy but its ok, also i can now move my next from left to right properly yipeeeeeeeeeee!! I keep getting random chest and tummy pains tho VERY weird. Apart from that im ok, and im not sure what im like emotionally, over the weekend having to explain it to work mates made me a bit teary, but i think its kinda sinking in that ive have actually crashed. Already looking at other minis! Cant wait to get another car , obviously wont be a patch on Molly, my first car . Ickle baby!

Molly report- The assessor came round today to look at Molly. He said i can see that she was in very good condition-low miles, brilliant body work (or was :s), but is definately a write off and to repair it would because over £3k, which obviously would be a LOT of work, and money that i cant afford. .. He is going to value it and give me a phone call..lets hope its a lot, very much doubt it tho
I had this feeling that Molly would start, and i wanted to find out, so i connected the battery and tried. WOHOOO i knew she would!! Legend! My strong little girl!! I even drove her forward a little bit, then forgot that i had no brakes because the brake pipe broke in the crash, which was rather scary when i was rolling back, good ol handbrake . Now all i have to do is get my CD changer out of the back and get the CD part that is in the front out. Other than that i think its all good! I just cant believe it, Molly is going to a scrappy WHY!!! Anyone can just buy parts of my baby and put them in their mini . . . .any of you could have a part of molly!!

How are the rest of you!?

OK, well when they ring with a valuation, remember you don't have to accept it! They are a business out to pay out as little as possible!

Are you allowed to take parts off the car? If so, get stripping!

I can still help if required

Yea i will do, or push it up a lil because she is worth a lot lol!!

I think im only alowed to take lil things off eg wheel arches etc, not do a full stip altho id love to! That would be fun! Ideally i would like to keep my wheels because i really like them, but i would have to do a swap with someone who has wheels that they dont want....but i dont see anyone wanting to do that.

So sorry to hear about molly (just read the post)
when you talk to the insurance company see if you can buy the car back from them, then you can strip it and put the bits on to your new mini. good luck Aaron

I was about to say the same - see if you can buy her back.

Dad wrote a car off and was allowed to buy it back for £75 ... it's worth a shot?

Yea i thought of that- trouble is tho, i have nowhere to strip it all down and keep the parts- no garage or anything!!

I hope they let you buy her back, damn insurance wouldnt sell me my daisy back :'(
was devastating.

[black jack1275]

There must be some one on here how could lend you some space on there drive/garage ?
if so you could get a few members/friends to come around one weekend and help strip the mini (say for a few beers mabe a pizza or 2 )

[TOMMO0302]

If it was for a shortish period of time, i'm sure my drive/garage could be used, but it would have to be for a planned amount of time or my mum would screw lol! Hopefully mine will be out of the garage soon!

Update on mememe!!!
i am fine, still fine over it pretty quick because think i crashed quite slowly...relatively....

My car, well after looking better than i thort it was when i saw it again, now we have started to strip it down it looks quite mangled again.... A lot of the hoses etc have been disconnected from engine so hoping to get it out tonight....i have started preparing the new subframe (wire brush and repaint)....depending on time im hoping for flip front, clean engine bay generally tidy up the front..oh and hi/lo's with spax...

Very sorry to hear bout Molly Raz....i assume u dont know what category Molly has been given? But yeah u should strip it!
