Was just reversing up on the path backwards and the bottom of my engine/gearbox scraped :@ just made a scrappy noise so I went forward and came back at an angle to get on. Is there anything I should be worried about as it's too dark to check now

EDIT: Heres the pics rubbish quality but meh..

the curb



The scrape on the engine mount.. you can only just see it at the bottom, rubbish pic tbh



All good though!

i was hammering it down some country lanes in my old sxo, hit a bump in the road and my sump hit it so hard it bounced the car. no damage to that so you could be lucky.
although a mate cracked his sump when a skatebaord got rolled under him when he was goin about 20mph.

I clouted a stone in the road, no higher than a coke can on its side. It hit the floor of the car and set the airbag off. Smart.

Drop something behind a corsa seat hard enough and it will set them off, Mechanical ones FTL.

I dropped one out of a car, Heard a loud pop as it fired, Even though it had the little safety bit in.
