Thanks TMers for your kind words. DW - the scar down the side of the van was old damage, we hit the front left corner of the Sprinter, the suspension collapsed so he wasn't going anywhere. Van driver suffered a neck injury and collapsed shortly after pic was taken, he was carted off on a spine board but later released from hospital wearing a neck brace. Gendermes weren't interested in hi-viz vests or beam benders, though I was breathalysed (only the one rum and raisin ice cream that morning) but they wanted V5c/ driving licence/ passport/ insurance certificate tout suite. Glad I'd got RAC European plus foreign use extension with Aviva. The Elise was taken to a nearby garage then shipped back to the UK for inspection. Tough little car did us proud
