Default Almost disater!!!

I was in the garage getting something ( Building a model railway with the 7 yr old and just getting electrical stuff)

The garage has been a tip for months as I have not been in the frame of mind to do anything. Anyway, last month I did sell one of my V6's so there is a bit more space to sort that. However I had not moved the engine crane back to the end of the garage. It was just behind the back of the roadster.

As I turned to get out I stumbled and hit the badly placed ladder, which in turn had me knocking the crane over backwards.. Before I knew what was happenign it was heading for GRP!!!

It's a heavy brute and I had no time to do anything, and my hands were full.

I set down my electrical tools and headed back. The crane had landed on the rear wheel arch.

Somehow, amazingly, there seems to be no damage at all.. I will have to have another look but I thought the tub and arch may have had it given the weight of the crane.

Hopefully a run of bad news, luck and problems will end soon and my frame of mind will change.
