Ok even I thought this was a little funny.
My Mini was parked down the bottom of a hill tonight. I'm sure you can see where this is going....
A Ford Puma's handbrake snapped and decided to roll down this hill and smack right into the front of it and sandwiched it up against the car behind. Back of the car is fine, but of course it will need a whole new front end, bonnet etc. Car still starts perfectly but looking for really good job as it's been all original parts since 1996 (and besides he's bloody paying!!!). I'm based in Louth but obviously I'm willing to travel to get this done sooner as it's my daily car.
Any advice on good garages/repair specialists as will need to source parts also?
Cheers,
Robert

I know of another guy...He's based in Meath just outside Ashbourne... He's very good and he's also cheap. His name is Tony Fairbrother and his number is 0872539568 and he's a bit of a Mini enthusiast... Hope this helps

Hey, Sorry about a late reply (Death in family). Thanks very much for all the advice. Just sorted now, luckily only minor job.
However it will be up in the for sale section in a couple of weeks.
(Yes I know he put the bloody badge upside down!)
