Totally, absolutely completely GUTTED!!!!

2 offs in just under a year - both thanks to blind planks in metal cages!!!

This time sadly, although at less than 5mph, the gear lever has pushed the main shaft through the case!! Engine is a write off.

Yes Nelly , the guy did stop after inflicting the damage - but as I walked towards the drivers door he gunned it without any admissions!!

Thankfully as it was on a Sainsbury's filling station forecourt (only stopped by to use the jetwash) it has all been captured on cctv. Plus a sainsbury employee volunteered as a witness as did the couple in the car behind him.

Thanks all for all your good wishes, yes I'm fine - not even bruised! - I'd readily swap a broken arm/leg for my engine tho'

Anyone any ideas where I can locate a 1999 - 2001 955i daytona or preferably Sprint engine?
