Really quite pissed off, but came here to try to get advice on costs for fixing this as well as general maintenance stuff![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Nice little pre-wildlife photo:

'Friad not, actually the farmer was pretty pissed about the whole thing - he should sort out his fences so there aren't sheep on the road but there we go... ![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
Ha yeah, didn't even notice the bird beforehand - maybe it was riding around on the sheep's back :P
The MGB needs a bit of work, it's basically mechanically sound but sounds like a tractor, I haven't had a chance to get it in the garage yet and find out just what's wrong with it.
I'm taking the RX8 away to a friend's body shop tomorrow - so at least the labor rate won't be too bad. Given what they cost second hand in the UK though (Bought this one having just had a full new exhaust and, upgraded starter motor etc for £3k/$4.5k) the cost of new body panels particularly from mazda themselves is just frightening!
