I know where there are two and they want £50 for the pair . Bourkey

MR2 seat Bourkey

Im not really fussed to be honest. After the shock of seeing it the first time i don't really want to see it again. Knowing my luck it will turn up there . Bourkey

Something im not . Bourkey

I've just spoken to my insurance. Everythng is sorted now so i don't need to worry about that now. Bad news is the car is in such a state im not allowed it back. It is a Cat A or B they said so it has to be crushed. Now i can move on from the SR . Bourkey

@ Tim - A few people i know reckon that as i pulled back in i did it too quick, which in some cars with a simple rear setup like mine could have made it step out of line. I had a rear anti-rollbar fitted along with decent shocks and springs to reduce it but this still happened. It is a major design flaw with these Starlets/GT's/Glanza's that has been discussed many times on here. Also the poor saftey of these cars is a weak point. You just don't think about that until something like this happens though, and to be honest i doubt a rollcage woud have helped much in this crash. I hope you are in

They look awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! Bourkey

I've got some guts the other day to go up to the crash site. I wanted to see it for myself as some of the witness statements didn't match up like one saying the cars were over 100 yards apart when they stopped. Well they weren't they were around 40 yards apart. When we got up there me and Craig felt sick with what we saw. Half of my car is still up there in hundreds of pieces. We found a headlight, interior pieces and the intact glass from my sunroof. There was all the markings on the road so you could see where the cars stopped and my skid marks. There was even a large red patch on the floo

Bring it to mine if you like and i'll talk you through it. Obviously i can't do it for you now . Bourkey

Im with Sparky on this one!!!!!!!!!!! Bourkey

Quick question, Was the piston in the caliper pushed back in for the new pads??? If not then the caliper wont go on as the gap will be too small . Bourkey

Nope Glanza ones will slot on fine as it is the same chassis . My shocks were actually from an EP82 and they fitted fine aswell on my SR. Bourkey

I wish. Im going to be off work for over a month and im not fit to drive until around the end of the year. Oh the joy. Im also using the laptop with one hand. If i go to the scrappy in a few weeks time with Craig i'll keep an eye for the bits you are after . Bourkey

Toyota Ebay or on here Scrappy, Ebay or on here Bourkey

Ooooo another nice change. Doesn't quite fit on the screen like others have said but overall seems nice. Bourkey

@ Enzo - I've not got a clue as i don't remember and it's annoying that i can't because im losing sleep wondering what could make it step out of line so much i can't control it. They have checked the car and nothing was wrong with it so i don't think i'll ever know. @ Paul - I'll only be physically well enough to drive again at the end of this year they reckon so by the time i come to choose a car i'll know what i can have because, hopefully, everything should be settled by then. @ mel - Trust me after seeing my SR i doubt i'll own one again. A rollcage wouldn't have even helped. @ Sparky -

Just had the police round. He was a nice guy to be honest and was chatting to me for a good while. The good news, The actual story from him differs slightly. I did make it back in after the overtaking part but the cars on the otherside were not far off me but still adequate enough. Then as i have finished overtaking to move in the back end of the car has gone light and i have gone part sideways. I have corrected this but too much and gon back onto the otherside causing the collision. The policeman said i was going quick at the start of the passing but at the end i was backdown to the limit.

Thanks Rick Quick update. The insurance have inspected the car, or whats left of it, and are also amazed im alive. The engineer has valued £1700 for the car, which is a fair enough and im doubting they are going to offer the car back to me. That payout will just go into a savings account until i am ok to drive again then i'll decide on a car. Sorry all but i doubt it will be a Starlet. As Rick pointed out in my other topic it just isn't strong and i want something a bit more robust. I've always wanted an MR turbo or GT4 so maybe thats what i will get. The police are also coming to s

@ Boostjunkie - Bud i clearly know i am lucky and i have been pretty stupid to say the least. All i have to do is try and sit in a comfortable position without any aches and pains and it makes me think about the accident. I haven't stopped thinking about it since i woke up in intensive care. im not expecting people to pussy foot around what happened and be nice about it, which is why i came on here and told the truth about the accident instead of just hiding it all away. I know how stories can get bent and twisted so i explained it all myself. As for the liability...again... i have worked in

In an extreme twist of fate about 10 months ago me and Mark went driving on Snakes pass and actually got out at the corner where i have crashed and even taken pictures of the view. As you can see from the pictures i was coming down the hill when i was overtaking. There is a clear view all the way down of the corner as well. Bourkey

@ SooperD - After this crash i think i only have one life left. When i came out of the hospital i was very nervous about getting in a car si i had to get my dad to pick me up in his big car. I have been in cars since including a Starlet and i was fine and i will be back on the road in the future, but as i have only just started walking and i can't move my hand yet it is a good while off. Im also not allowed to drive until im cleared by my physio. Im also typing with one hand . @ jam-ep - Yep i did meet you at the last Manchester meet. I may be at the next meet but obviously not in the SR. Im

Like i said i can't admit liability as this is just what somene has told me. If i knew for certain what happened i could admit liability so the police have to investigate what happened. Also the police accused me of not wearing my seatbelt which is just stupid as i have massive cuts across my chest in the shape of.... a seatbelt and if you look at the seatbelt socket, it is still plugged in. I can't see how one crash in the hole of the uk can affect your insurance. There would have to be like dozens and dozens in a short space of time to make your premium go up. And i really do wish i could

Thanks all i do know how incredibly lucky i am. The only thing is i can't admit liability as i don't know what actually happened this is just the most likely story out of them all. The driver speeding up is just a theory remember. There is a big piece of the puzzle missing as i was on the wrong side of the road for too long. I would never do that ever no matter how daft i may be. Apparently i was pushing 80+ so why did i not get past the second car when they would be doing around 50??? Unless the driver comes forward i will never know. To be honest i don't care too much. Im still alive, whic

Well i have been to see the SR today for myself instead of looking at the pictures. To be honest when i saw it i was in shock. The pictures do not do the car justice at all. Im amazed i got off the scene with my heart beating. As the pictures show my entire side is completely gone with only part if the door internals remaining. All the electrics have been torn on that side so it looks like the entire car has shorted out. The keys are still in the ignition as i can't get them out due to the ignition being pushed so far inside the car. Also i can't open the bonnet to see the engine. As for the
