she was pysically sick when we got her home and couldnt eat for 2 days and had bad whiplash... Luckily a doctor was only a few cars behind. She loved her little 16v fiesta, it was pride and joy. we Searched high and low for a low owner low mileage example which she only had 2 months.. She has another one now. After looking at another 10 to find the right one.. She was scared of going on the M-way for a year.  She is a good driver tho, and she got paid out a few months later!

For James, that is bloody awful!! So sorry about your car. Glad to hear you appear to be ok though. I won't rant about foreign lorry drivers, it would take too long.

Yeah I'm fine, it was much more of an audible hit, I'd didn't feel a thing. If I'd had the stereo up loud enough I might not even have noticed.
Got a family full of nurses and ex-medical staff so they're making sure I behave and am okay.
I've had a poke around under the back this evening with the old torch (maglite not glovebox) and it all looks surprisingly normal. Even the crash bar with the deformable mounting pillars (see below) looks to be in good nick. All of the exhaust mountings I can see look fine as well. But we'll see what they find when they take it apart.
