I had one when I was a youngster, got a very fine scar, hardly noticable. Very very common op mate, nothing to worry about, just take it easy recovering, otherwise it will go again and you'll be back to square 1!
Parked up next to one in tesco not too long ago, then had a chat with the owner. He was probs late 30's early 40's so I well surprised when he floored it out of the car park lol and man it shifted! Pictures don't do them much justice, when you see one in person they're just outstanding.
My mums stuck in Spain! Was supposed to be back late thursday night lol. At her end they are saying it will be the 27th at least, the ports are being bombarded where people are turning to try to get a ferry. It sounds pretty hectic! Not good when you hav'nt budgeted for an extra 10+ days!
Thought we could get a thread going about great family guy moments lol. I know what knightsy will post haha. I'll get the ball rolling!

Bloody hell mate your not having much luck with that car! I suppose it's not really a big deal if they fail open, would just have to drive sensibly because obviously the temperature would'nt build up. Was really tricky getting the thermostat housing off, I think my car has been owned by an idiot...
