skidding sideways into a kerb.  This has buckled the subframe and slightly
bent the floor.  Does anyone have an idea of a reasonable price for repair?

Just about everyone who sits in the passenger seat of my 1998 Cooper
Sport, looking at the beautiful walnut dash and all the pretty little
gauges, comments "Why doesn't the oil temperature gauge move?"
