Hi All
While I was driving in Paris in my Ford Mondeo last week another driver jumped a set of lights and slammed into the side of my car. Fortunately the occupants of my car who were my wife, young son and I were unharmed. The Mondeo however is in a pretty bad way and will need new doors and panels but of course I am deeply grateful that we all walked away from the crash without a scratch (God bless the designers of the Mondeo safety features). As the Mondeo is a company car and the other driver was clearly in the wrong the insurance will sort out all the repairs however this has got me thinking about what would would have happened if I'd been driving my Delorean (which, incidentally I have whimsically called "Sunny"). Please forgive my ignorance but can you even get new panels and doors nowadays? And realistically how long would it take to fix such damage?
