Well, fingers crossed it all works out. The feeling when you turn the key after something like that - either heartbreak or elation.

Good luck Schumi!

Now, I have said this before (not on this forum though) but seriously, I HATE CAMERAS IN PHONES!!!!! They are useless!!!!!

Do you see Canon, Nikon or Pentax etc putting phones in their cameras? No!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahem.....anyhow......best of luck putting it back together! Will have a beer for you tonight, and will toast the good fortune of your car.

Might make that two - hey, the extra luck wont hurt :wink:
