AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!Billy,sorry for you mate.S&S should have it back to
you better than ever,though.Make sure you twist the 8a5tard insurance
guys arm hard,and wring every penny outta the money grabber!And remember-
only plough up those roundabouts if yer driving a Caterpillar D6,and
NOT a Grinnall!

See ya. Paul

On a brighter side did anyone see that world rally program recently where they showed a collection of accidents to rally cars then asked you to say wether they were right off's or not....

Amazingly most wern't and in a lot of cases the cars were rebuilt to win the next rally etc and apperently only one well know Scottish rally driver had a exceptional record for writing them off. so lucky for you Billy your names not Colin [:D]

and take comfort that there were no Lion pens on that roundabout

Oh no!

Hope you don't have a battle with the insurance co.

There isn't much S & S don't know or can't do.

Hi Scottish Grinnall,

I was just wondering if you have an update on how your Grinnall is coming along, thats if they've started work on it yet?

Thanks, Dave

Phoned S&S on friday and Steve(I think) said
the insurance assesor had been out and the
car will be getting repaired[:D][:D] so it should
be a good as new on its return to sunny scotland.

Hi Scottish Grinnall,

Thats good news [:)] It would be good if they took some photos along the way while they are repairing it. I know I'd be interested to see them!

Cheers, Dave

Any word on when it will be ready

Will you be going down to billing in it or collecting it at Billing ?

If it's not broke don't fix it.

Well Dave, as S&S are members of this forum, hopefully they will
put up pictures of the Grinnalls repair's. It would be a benefit to
me also as S&S are over 200 miles from my house. (can't just nip round to see how the work is progressing)

Any pictures Steve[;)][;)]

just been told the car will not be ready for Billing[V]
I take it there must be a problem getting parts[:(]

It will be at the N.E.C. classic car show this year if the
TR DRIVERS want it on there stand

What a blow Billy, was really looking forward to seeing it at Billing. I know the invitation from Phil Humphries to exhibit your car at the NEC still stands, make sure its ready. Hope you can get a lift down to Billing in another TR.

What a scunner Billy There must be somewhere that will fix it sooner than that

Is there no where in Kilmarnock ?

I'm sure the body shop i use could do somthing [;)]

If it's not broke don't fix it.
