    you wouldnt believe it !

    they damaged my car on the seven seas.

    the frame surrounding the car broke and damaged my roof and broke the windscreen and possibly has damaged the rear suspension.

    pictures coming soon.

    My cars used to be insured from the point of physically going on board ship till rolling off. I thought that was standard FOB terms?

    they took photos of the crating. they nailed the wood together instead of screwing it and the nails dropped with the weight and caused the rubbing on the roof, slight dent but fixable.

    the windscreen. i cannot believe. they stock mk1 clio windscreens. i thought i would be spunking £490 on freight alone.

    there is a god. somewhere.

    sorry i couldnt take more glorious photos, but the quarrantine inspection people are being cunts and wont inspect it until the windscreen is fixed.

    one bloke at the freight movals was well chuffed. he said "fookin nice car ya got there mate". i said "it used to be"....
