I wonder what the equivelent rating of bomb would have been capeable of such severe structural damage?

I hope the insurers will settle without any quibbles (business as well as the car )

how spooky, was it parked around the back of the 3com building? well, not behind it but around that area( i dont know it very well). if so, i was looking at your motor on wednesday night. crying! we were sent up to assist herts police, its ******* carnage! very spooky at night, like something out of a a war film... just looking around made my blood run cold at the thought of it happening during the day, the bodycount would of been astronomical....

Whoa, bad luck on the Porsche, hope you get it all sorted out on the insurance, that is a real shame.

And as for Northgate, ooops, looks a bit knackered, do you work there ? I work for Greater Manchester Police and we work quite closely with Northgate on a couple of things so it brings it home, as the previous guy said, if you are going to have a huge explosion, Sunday at 6 am is about as good a time to have one as can be hoped for (Unless you happen to be a 911).
