A random guy from camp walking to a village he stays in on the middle of the road in the pitch black and being drinking I moved car to the other side of the road to pass a deep puddle that was covering the left side of road and the guy stumble in front of the car causing the window and wing mirror to smash but the guy has a sprained ankle and a broken collar bone thank god I wasn't going fast or it could have been a lot worse .

Got a phone call today from my insurance company that they are coming to see my car on Sunday to look at the car to as the A pillar on the passenger side is damaged and take photos and let me know if it will become a cat c due to the age of the car as I've all ready been giving an estimate of how much it is going to fix the damage and to remove any rust and weld and a respray the roof and both A pillars , I've got a funny feeling they will ending up sending me a cheque and let me keep the car . Fingers crossed to see what happens but have been car shopping on the net and found a nice 2003 blobeye in edingburgh in wr blue with 84000 miles , full subaru service history , owned by a lady and at a steal of a price .

Stripped down my 4 pots that I bought going to replace all the pistons as 2 of them were seized what a night mare to remove but its done and wondering what is the ideal brake fluid upgrade as I use dot 4 at the moment and as its gives me something to do for the next couple of weeks while waiting for the insurance company to get back to me but I am really thinking about fixing the car as I've already spent a bit of money tiding the car up as Ginola says see what they do with my car first but I hate waiting as I could get it booked in to get it fixed

I'd let the body shop do them mate as silver is a difficult colour to match.
