Nodalmighty Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Chin up JG, Just get another shell and transfer the bits over. Most of the trauma is front end and passenger door, the rear looked mostly untouched to me. Yes it won't be quite the same but at least it will be running and you have a clean sheet on the body work.

dandan Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Just read this chaps - holy hell, glad you are both ok!!! Also got me looking into a hans device now for my race car. I wouldn't hesitate at all mate. (Hans or something similar - small money really for the added safety) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Wow that is really bad, glad both of you are ok. Don't think there is a straight panel left is there? The boot! Glad you guys are both ok, pity about the project but I'm sure there will be others in future. Not MR2's though - that's gone now, line drawn, etc. I wouldn't hesitate at all mate. (Hans or something similar - small money really for the added safety) Definitely, brings it home how fragile things are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrosixfour Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 A sticking accelerator on a Toyota? Who'd have thought such a thing was possible? Methinks its time to call Claims Direct. By the way, where was the brake pedal while you were saying your goodbyes to Ryan? Glad you both made it out fellas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 I would have thought the clutch pedal to be more apt The amount of times I've thought of that - I'm sure I pressed it, but I think that time we'd just gathered so much speed it was too late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 The amount of times I've thought of that - I'm sure I pressed it, but I think that time we'd just gathered so much speed it was too late Oh definitely mate, no doubt you will have hit it instinctively as soon as you felt things going too far. Power on to power off will have no doubt unbalanced the car, but you clearly had little option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
