I take it the bulk of the damage was due to your lovely brother! I hope he is paying by what ever means for the damage he has caused. If that were mine I doubt he'd be the same after I had dealt with him.

Well he paid for the intial parts and damage, and he is currently unemployed so getting the money out of him for this would be impossible. And he isn't the same, he's got a permanent few scars on him ;)

A useful reminder for future times then.

Zackly, every family du we go to now

"How did you get those scars Aaron?" - Hes got one on his eyebrow and one above his lip. And if he lies I'll soon point this out to him. He might be 6ft 6 but he's not too big for a slap ;)

Buying a replacement car has never been financially doable to me, however, repairing it in stages is :)
