Thanks Tom, it aint the nicest anymore, that's for sure!
Tell me about it man, I'm really upset
yeah I send the pics to Ruan over lunch and called him; he also said he'd be very surprised if I'd done any serious damage to the chassis leg. He reckoned it could be a fairly straightforward fix with replacement panels as you said. I'm praying its that way!!!
I am gonna be careful though, at the end of the day the reason I love the car is for how it drives. I don't want to be spending the time and money fixing a car that wont drive as well at the end. If the chassis is badly damaged, I'm gonna have to break it. Gah I just dont wanna think about that right now
Cwspellowe; I'll take you up on that a beer @ FCS?

On a plus note, how closely have you looked under the bonnet, Im not sure that the leg will have been bent to much looking at that....if thats the case its just a case of another diablo breaking car for wings / bumper / slam panel, bonnet and lights etc, which wouldnt be hugely expensive...if the front of the leg is bent a bit can easily be fixed, only real issue is if its properly bent the leg, but looking at the damage id not have personally said it has...try and take some photos in underneath around the front of the leg (abs pump area) etc so we can see better..
Gutting though, espically right after you got it back on the road!
