gurly_racer Unregistered G	On the purchasing date of my coupe...5 years later... The coupe no longer lives. We were in a pretty traumatic accident... But she was tough and did me well... I'm now terrified of cars - including the coupe so will not be driving for a very long time! Was lovely knowing you on here, and thanks for your knowledge on these cars =]

Hopefully, you'll be able to get in and drive a car again one day, even if it's not a Coupe. Glad the Coupe did well in protecting you from the worst.

gurly_racer Unregistered G	The whole experience has been pants if I'm honest.. Pretty substantial injuries... I was resuscitated on scene, and again in ambulance. Have a fractured skull, eye socket, neck, spin and ribs. And also alot Of tissue loss on my head - on my4th lot of surgery Tuesday! Guess someone was looking over me that night! But needless to say I shan't be getting back in a coupe soon...

As one who has had similar injuries, if it would help to talk then feel free to pm... one thing - be prepared for a long convalescence, particularly with spinal damage. Neil Don't get no respect!

Ok it'll be a long haul but take up Barnacle's offer, he knows the answer to bloody everything Keep us posted on here, this forum has a back broad enough you could land a plane on If you don't, expect knocks on the door at 0600 hrs BumbleBee carer
