So basically, as some of you may have heard... Some wanky f*cking bus driver decided that two lanes aren't applicable to him and essentially forced me off the side of the road into a kerb...

Annoyingly the impact managed to cause the passenger side side airbag to go off, bent the shock, spread the hub around the strut, seemingly budged the steering rack on it's mounts (it now rubs inside the car)...
Basically, f*cking ballache. Probably going to need a new strut, steering rack, hub, possibly steering column, 2 new tyres...
Oh well, nothing I can do about it, I'm OK, my back hurts from where I braced and I think the shock of the steering wheel moving slightly has done my forearms in a bit also, Stu who was with me in the car got burnt by the airbag... Just one of them days eh!
