The people that were there don't seem to think it would be repairable.

Great end to my holidays

Thanks for the msgs
The defensive driving course may have helped, and I would suggest that you should still do it, aside from teaching you techniques for recovering skids, and improving driving skills, it also gives you more confidence and makes you less likely to panic in the same situation.
Ive done the defensive driving course, and I can say from personal experience from driving afterwards, it is REALLY WORTH IT.

But in the end, a car is replacable, and as you said, your insured, while you might be guttered, it could have ended ALOT worse.

The car doesnt look too bad, as long as theres no chassis damage, it should be repairable.

Hopefully we will see you back in your car soon, and if not that one, another rexie.
Good to hear you and your friend werent badly hurt
