You'd be surprised at what can be done with the help of the lads here --- don't write the mig off just yet ---- post up some pics and get some opinions on the damage.

Dependant on the catagory of right off it might be worthwhile considering buying it back off the insurance company. It doesn't take much damage to right off Omegas especially if it's body work damage. With the low book price of miggys the price should be o.k. Also with the abundance of spares on the market it might be viable to either repair it yourself or get some quotes off independant garages.

Thanks all -even STMO for the helpful mental health advice.

Will post some pics and get some advice here and take it from there.

Where the money's coming from I don't know.Evening paper came tonight and Thursday is Jobs night--Not a job section in it tonight-wtf.

Did see advert though for nude modelling at art college earlier.Not bad money for just sitting around without your kit on.

Phoned them up for more details and yes they still need models.

Thing is how do I break it to my wife she's posing for 3 day classes and 2 night classes next week.
