I'm now sat in the repairing dealership awaiting a hire car from my insurers. Me and Megan are both fine, it was relatively low speed maybe 15mph max and it was a proper shock for her so some tears followed. She's gone off for her school sports day now though and she's fine.
Me? I'm just hoping they can repair it and repair it quickly. Service manager thinks so long as the insurance company don't f**k about approving the repair that I'll get out back in time for Goodwood. He had a good look at the boot floor and thinks it's definitely repairable.
Would I want it repaired? Compared to the alternative absolutely I do.
The alternative is taking £10k to the high street to buy another 40k mile ST. Given that I know how mine has been driven for every one of those miles, and also knowing what the majority of ST owners drive like having one that's been abused, had the clutch ridden, driveshaft and CV joint issues, no thanks. I'll have mine back repaired by Ford thank you very much!
