Picture the scene....6.30 am Sunday last and i'm surfin'the clean cobalt surface of a tarmacadam ocean...the CDs singing. The sun is clinging to the edges of the world ahead of me... wrenching itself from its solar hibernation...throwing daggers of light across the surface's of the monolithic boulders which form the mausoleum like temple, known internationally as Stonhenge, seen just ahead of me...beyond the long piercing silver hood of my 735. (the 735 i've owned just 6 short weeks) BANNNGGGG...IIIYERRRRWHATTTTHEEFUCCCCCCCCcccccc...the soft slight tan and snowy hindquarters of a dog sized rabbit tap some bizzare last message across the now blood streaked silver hood of my 735. Close your proud 7 series eyes and imagine my predicament. The insurers have written the car off. The damage totals £3600 english pounds. I am to be beaten by a suicidal rabbit...like hell. The car is allready half way through repairs..just one thing you sympathetic sniggerers may be able to help with...I am being charged £300 for a headlamp adjuster kit...do I need this, can I live without it?? Andy, Bath, England. 1991 735 - 140k

Auch... I feel with you. Hope you get it back on the road soon. I don´t have the adjuster kit, so I guess you could live fine without it.

PS! I had a crash in my 750 (also 91 - our year to crash?). A Mercedes taxi ran into my left side. The NB was really messed up. However my 750 just got an adjusted fender in front of the front wheel, a slightly dented left front which I´ve mostly fixed myself, and some scratches on the rim. He hit the wheel mostly on my car. Adjusted my steering to the better actually ;) No vibration at all at any speed afterwords (and I´ve done 200kmh+). But I was sad, and still is that my 7 also is a bit dented still. But something to do during summervacation. Added some rustprotection to the wheelarch underside and between the fender and side.
