G'day Fletch & all,

Little rear ding eh? That a bit like describing the damage to my 85 as 
"paint needs attention" (it was a write off!) I went & saw the damage and 
couldnt believe my  eyes. It looks more like our friend Fletch got too 
enthusiastic with the new toy & departed into an immovable object.  I've 
never seen a little ding that resulted in the roof being distorted 
before. 

Hope the insurance company is friendly
