As the title says i now have a new look mr2

certinaly looks different after aquaplaning, back end skiding out and putting the front end through a hedge

not bad for owning it for only 6 hours

2.30pm get mr2
8.30pm write it off

f**king brilliant

wish i was, was only going at bout 30-40mph as well it all looks only cosmetic damage until you get underneath around the passanger front wheel. it was the only wet bit on that road aswel because all the water fromthe field runs acorss that bit of the road and it was like a stream.

Sorry to hear that. As long as it's only metal that's damaged and not you then it can be fixed.

yeh the garage is pretty sure that it is goin to written off the body work is ok new bumper passanger font wing and bonnet no bamgae to driver side and nothing passed the passanger front wing but its stuff like the steering rack and the wishbone that joins onto the chassis (i think) has torn away from the bolt.radiator needs replaced.Im already looking at a couple on auto trader some new ones added since i bought this one with less milage on and for less money s:D

s:D

If is it is a write off i might look at buying it back if it aint that much.

Would any one be interested in buying it as i say it is repairable with a bit of expense and no how but the engine has only done 37k miles and DID runs very very nice.

Il take sum pics and post them up

Dry your eyes, mate!!

There is an ancient Japanese poem that goes:

Do not cry, if you crash your MR2,
For there are many others for sale,
Often in Autotrader,
Or the back of your local paper. s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

It's not one of the better known ones, but I feel it appropriate here.

Great that you're ok tho buddy. Could have been MUCH worse!!

noddynurdle · April 19, 2005, 03:57

i am glad that your ok too
just look at it as minor setback

Not really heard of that well known poem mark

dont know why.

Well it aint as bad as i thought that it was going to be dad phoned the garage and they have assured me that the chassis is not bent or twisted so it wont need jigging and hopefully they could be starting fixing it 2moro

pity, saw a couple of nice 1s on autotrader

should get some pics up tomorrow hopefully aint know if i can host ne1 do it for me.

Cheers

It's fixable? s:shock: :shock: s:shock: Thought that'd be a write-off. Glad you're ok – nice to see the passenger compartment is intact. And you only had it six hours... s:(

roger · April 20, 2005, 16:26

Glad you are OK, that looks a mighty shunt.

Hope you don't mind me sticking my nose in, but were your front discs like that when you picked the car up? If they were perhaps you had brake problems - and a claim against the vendor

?
