My car being damaged outside my house, the mis-diagnosis of my appendicitis until it exploded and almost killed me $\:$$ and the ensuing peritonitis. All at the moment of my new job having left my other the day I became ill. Just in time to loose my full sick pay I would of been entitled too... So a ruff time. I have not been on here much and life is slowly returning to normal $\:$$ So the car is back! After having a new. Yes that is correct a new bonnet fitted $\:D$ Not been able to take many pics because of the weather etc but here she is! Picture 1 Picture 2 Picture 3 Its been a long and probably the worst 3 months of my life, but hopefully this is the turning point! The forum gave me hours of entertainment in hospital reading through all the guides so thanks guys and girls! Sedici!

Believe me they were more medically trained that a few people I met on my travels... Vinci Grey LE Alfa 147 GTA 3.2 V6 BMW E92 M3 4.0 V8 Fiat Tipo Sedicivalvole 2.0 16v ABS

Arrived with no marks or minor dents in it. £700 or there abouts $\:\)$ I would of thought the car would be right up your street AlanW, its as standard as they come $\:\)$ Thanks all, yes things have been really bad $\:\($ I know they say you make your own luck but there is only so many times continual bad things can happen before you start to wonder. I have never know so many bad things to happen in a row for such a long period of time. But this should all be coming to an end now $\:D$ Vinci Grey LE Alfa 147 GTA 3.2 V6 BMW E92 M3 4.0 V8 Fiat Tipo Sedicivalvole 2.0 16v ABS

Been a terrible few days and oh look some f*****g twat has dented my passenger side door. Either that or a meaty stone has hit it on the move. Why just why? The car was perfect for the whole year when it last came out of the bodyshop from its restore. I have it sorted after the incident and bang. I just don't know why I bother anymore. It cannot carry on like this. Things just keep going wrong, I cannot have a day without at least two big issues. $°\($ Vinci Grey LE Alfa 147 GTA 3.2 V6 BMW E92 M3 4.0 V8 Fiat Tipo Sedicivalvole 2.0 16v ABS
