It's Back

I've got my car back. It's alive. The bumper is still cracked, and because it is twisted it has come away from the right edge of the car a bit, the dent in the bonnet isn't too bad (they straightened it a little). It starts far more easily. I've no idea why. It sounds ever so slightly different (that'd be the new exhaust) and, although it may be my imagination, it seemed a bit nippier.

Anyhow I shall be taking it very easy in the car. I won't be doing any overtaking on any Welsh country roads and I won't be diving into any tight corners as there is still the possibility that the chassis is damaged. They found a very small kink in it, but it's not in a critical place and he tells me it shouldn't be a problem. It's just that he has to tell me just in case.

Tomorrow the car will be having a nice 180 mile drive which will almost certainly outline any problems that it may have. The damage in total was only £220. Not at all bad considering. I've walked away from this crash a very lucky guy.

In other news I found a song on my hard drive last night that I'd started ages ago. It's okay but nothing too amazing. Plugged in some additional effects, played with some parameters, added a bass line, some kicking drums and ... I've got the starts of something utterly splendid. As usual it will be linked to as soon as it's finished.
