i smacked my sierra up pretty bad, it bent everything but the car was still car spahed, but i do agree that they fold up if hit wrong very very easily

glad to see the pf massive are out in force over this one

get down the docs the pair of you to get things seen to, whiplash can take forever to clear up, i know one of the posters here has had it for ages so good luck with recovering fully

Did you just volunteer to repair it???
ha ha if i was in the trade still then yes i would because it would be a shame to see dans hard & long work going to waste ,but im in another trade now

Yup!

Get yourself to a physio mate. I had an assessment and treatment yesterday and it did ease the stiffness slightly. Also, ice pack on it for 30 mins helps.

Dan,

Jokes aside, I reckon that's done you a favour.

Obviously gutted for you that you've been in an accident, but with kids and real life in the way, it isn't worth having such an unuseable car.

Get shot of it, buy something quick but reliable and fun, and don't throw any more money at money pits...

Rich, to be honest mate, i think it has. sure im gutted and all, but right now, maybe it was for the best. i have had nothing but endless trouble with that car, and this has been the icing on the cake.

deffo will be broken and sold in bits. was trying to get my old man to buy the engine and box for his MGB, but thats years off being resto'd lol

next dilemma will be deciding what to get for a family/half decent motor.

3 door cars will be a no go due to the kids, so unfortunatly no E46 M3's lol

Evo 8 is an option, but crap fuel and expensive parts if it goes wrong may be a downer lol

or we get something modest and do the kitchen lol

If you get an Evo, let me know and i'll come down and give it a tweak for you...

This time though, i'll turn the datalogger on and you can test drive it alone while I have a brew...

Gutted for you mate

Why not put all the running gear in a 5 door Sierra hatch?

You get to keep all the goodies and the kids can get in and out

Just a thought here Dan, was there many parts supplied free for sponsorship or did you foot the bill for everything?
