  • I'm so sorry to hear about the car saga beanie - what a pain. ☹️

    I love My Funny Valentine - it's from the musical Pal Joey. Kim Novak performed it in the old 50s film singing it to Frank Sinatra, but it was actually dubbed by a singer called Tracey Erwin. Have a look as the excerpt is on YouTube  - lovely rendition.

    That sounds like a real nightmare.  Can you not go back to the insurance company and ask them to get an opinion from an independent garage?  I wouldn't trust a garage who'd bodged a repair to give an honest account!  Can the current garage give you an opinion in writing that you can share with the insurance co?
