No, more to do with going around a bend and finding one of these stationary on the exit:

It was filling up a residential fuel tank. Had a car queued behind it waiting to overtake. I wasn't able to stop in time. There was a little bit of contact between the three of us and then a few trees and telegraph poles weighed in too. No-one seriously hurt.

I always wondered how those guys get parked up safely to do deliveries ... obviously they don't!   s:shock: :shock: s:shock:

I didn't hit the truck. I clipped the car behind it, then had a off road experience! The car I clipped did then hit the truck though.

The insurance company must have been lightning quick for you to start dismantling at Matt's already. That's some service.

I haven't bothered claiming. The car is worth more in pieces!

In all honesty, I think this is a sensible thing to do if the car owes you nothing (or you can afford it   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  )
I detest Insurance companies and the legalised blackmail they practice.

Ah, I guess the insurance will be involved in some capacity due to the other folks. One less thing to worry about though.  s;) ;) s;)

Quote from: "muffdan"As it happens, I'd already started a new joint project MR2 build with SP Matt the day before the accident by collecting a car with a knackered engine. That project has now gotten itself a nice boost of readily available performance parts, and the green carcass is arriving with Matt this morning to be stripped down. Along with the JDM body kit I still have in the garage, I'm now very excited about the build. It will result in something better (although not green this time)!

good timing

Might've done...!   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  
I gather I'm going to be seeing you soon, bringing me some seats.  That's brill, much appreciated.

Jason's car is quite a wreck and although it's now driving (and that's a VERY loose description), it did require a few suspension parts, some ratchet straps and a full set of space savers to mobilise it.  He was, as someone said to me moments after I wrecked my car (without insurance), "very lucky".

Wow Jason..real glad that you came out allright!! We've seen also our fair share of serious MR2 accidents here and the little b*st*rds protect us fully even though they don't look like it!

 Happy to see that there is going to be another MR2 for a heart transplant!!  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Just unbelievable, glad you are ok and already starting a new project! Its upsetting to think how easy it is to get in a horrible and even life threatening situation :/ Think i'll be driving slowly around blind corners for a while! (Actually talking of this...a Honda S2000 came towards me around a blind corner in the middle of the road on Sunday and caused me to have to drive up a bank to avoid him/her...Im just glad I was driving sensibly enough and there weren't any trees etc on that bank!)
Finished hunting for my first MR2, Any advice is still MORE than welcome!! \":D\"

Good to see, despite the putting to bed of the Green Beast, that Jason is continuing to push the limits of his cars to the max with his new wheels, complete with Mods:

So glad to see you walked away from this one, Dan.

Now that youve had time to reflect on your adventure, I was just wondering if you learned anything from it? I saw your car in the flesh recently, and sadly its similar to many I see in the salvage yards. Many have blood on the inside and sadly on the outside.
