Glad you and the tin lids are OK. How's Mum & Dad holding up?
Landys are tougher than most think!!
Looks bad by the
pic that damage, but, to a builder it will probably be a sinch to fix.
Last year I asked my son to get the Mav out of the garage. He is used to an auto and the Mav is manual.
Well, he started it in gear and went thru the back wall of the garage along with the workbench and heaps of tools.
Over a 4 foot drop onto the back yard with eveything in his path, he was Ok, I seen the funny side with the look on his face, if only I had a camera there at the time.
Only damage to the Mav was paint off the bullbar - The garage needed a lot more work, and I was thinking about re-modeling the work area anyway.
Safe driving
Vinnie

mum and dad are fine hey...they dont even want me to pay the excess...they were going to have to pay $500 to get the roller doors fixed anyway and get an extra electric one....plus there is a leak in the roof and that if getting fixed too and a few other little things so they are wuite happy that i did it cos its only going to cost $500 instead of a few grand!!!
funny story about that Mav......ya gotta laugh dont ya...!!!

I thought the vehicle was a "Land Rover" (commonly known as a "Landy"). I didn't even think to look at the rig
pic in Diver1's
sign-off....DOH!!!
Now that I see the photo of the slight damage to the 'Cruiser, I can obviously see that the "Landy" is actually an 80 series, not a 110 or 130 etc as I had in my mind's eye........
