Donald & Henry,


I've uploaded the photos here for you, as the Spit list doesnt allow 
attachments:

Just seeing those photos beings it home how much I got away with. Mine 
seems a light scratch in comparison. Can you expand on the speed that 
the car hit?

And what an end to such a wonderful car that had just been restored... 
and I felt bad because I had just spent a few hours installing an 
exhaust system the week before!

I do wonder if it still a good idea for me to continue to try use a 
Spitfire as a daily driver, but I cannot afford 2 cars... after getting 
the hire car that is being supplied by the insurance company this 
morning... even with the horrible weather outside, it felt comfortable 
and bright... most of all a little bit more safe.

Would it be better to be using something safe now, so I can enjoy my 
hobby later...? Hmmmmm.....

But my passion for these cars is overiding all of that at the moment... 
and I dont think I can live without my Spit... this morning was the 
first time I have driven a car since the accident... it was just a 
little scary...
