<VV> Badly Damaged Ultravan- Can Anyone Help?

Sun Mar 22 17:15:49 EDT 2009

Pictures worked fine for me - don't know why.

The front is all bashed in but the windshields don't appear to be broken - 
they look to have popped out of the distorted frames without breaking. I 
assume that is good luck, as I don't imagine they grow on trees (do they?).

Cheers

Alan
