Re: Coventry Transport Museum 28 October

Very good news Ed. We must try and find a detailed map showing the quite hidden little lane which leads from the ring road down to the Museum's forecourt!

Re: Advice Needed

Mike's right; she looks so beaten up because the front wings (hardly any inherent strength in a side impact) have absorbed the energy.
