See what youve started andrew 

A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

Umm yes.... I am stumped what to say next.
Hit a Brickwall? Have you lost all trace of someone? Do not despair, simply make a note they were abducted by aliens! Don't believe in aliens? No problem, just write them off as having disapeared in a time portal

I am hoping the aliens will return with the person in question and dump him off tommorow, read in news about a confused lost man claiming he was born in 1854, who thinks the current year is about 1882 and he has no idea how he ended up in the future. That would be cool as I could tell him I am his relation and get him to answer loads of stuff about the family.

That would be great , he would have to live and work at the Black Country Museum ,till he got over the shock of life now.

Mine was a tree that jumped out in front of my lovely 1973 Capri V6. I loved that car.....

Re: You know you have hit a brickwall when..
No. I had the car go over 150 MPH but that was on a race track.
When I crashed it I was doing about 40 MPH and hit a load of diesel somebody dumped on a sharp corner.
Spun off into the tree.
The next car around the corner also hit the diesel and smacked into my car.
That was my first day back at work after three months off with a back injury.
Didn't even make it to work and ended up having another two months off.

Hope there were no lasting effects Mark.

Got arthritis of the neck from it. Probably have to have some vertebra fused in the future. That was 25 years ago so accidents can have long term consequences.
I had another two Capri V6 after that one. Still one the best looking cars ever made.

So you'll probably been "tortured" by someone like me in an MR scanner? (When I say "tortured", I of course mean that you were treated with the utmost care and respect!)
I had a boyfriend who had an old capri, don't know the model but it was red! He also had two early escorts - none lasted very long, saying that neither did we as a couple - can't remember if his driving was part of it!
