Hey guys. I've just returned from a weekend trip to Wales in the Rapid - but more about that later.

First, I thought I should show you this. I'm rather ashamed to say that I got caught out on the ice on Friday.Obviously it wasn't intentional and no one was hurt. But the car now doesn't look so good.

However, looking at the positives, I've been wanting to learn some bodywork skills and what better opptounity.

So if anyone in the NE has the tools and expertise to repair this and wouldn't mind showing a willing hand what to do, please let me know.

Without further a do...

:( :( :( :(

Looks like it could have been worse, glad no-one was hurt.

Didn't they all come like that ex-works?

Seriously, I've seen a substantial number that were like that back in the day.

Erm, hang on....... Did I go past you on Friday on the M54? I went past a really nice looking white Rapid on a G plate! :eek:

Probably. I was heading into Wales on Friday night - along the M54.

I think I remember registering an Octy RS passing...
