Sorry to hear off your loss mate - saw your posting on the rollbar thread about not having an SE any more and was wondering what was up.<br><br>Glad to hear you're OK, and may your insurance battles be short and rewarding.

[Scott J]

Monty,<br><br>as long as you make a full recovery, that is the most important thing.  Plenty of other Lotii out there. 70 mph is quite a crash.<br><br>Keep smiling.

Just spotted this thread - I hope you're doing alright Monty and that you get things sorted out smoothly and quickly. Sounds like a very frightening and heart breaking experience.<br><br>Alan

[GaryJ]

A little late to this but really sorry  to hear about this. Hope things go smoothly for you from here on. A 70 mph smash in any car is not good so to some out alive is an achievement in itself. <br><br>If I was you I would take the radio and anything else you can get your mits on - they don't pay you for those bits anyway.<br><br>You think Dico's pics will include the spinning?!

[WillB]

<br>Shiiiiit! just caught up with this thread myself. Glad you are OK, echo all said above.<br><br>

[Stef]

Um, are the wheels and brakes any good??  ::)

Oh well, seen pinky in the cemetery today got my Personel belongings but forgot about the bloody radio. ::) N/S front TCA/wishbones is bent so don`t know if the front dampers are ok, the N/S wheel is shot. The rear hasn`t been touched and there`s 3k of parts on there. Roof is new. think the engines is ok could see a couple of marks on the turbo, but didn`t stay to long as the parking up there is a joke.
Dico got those pic`s developed but i have no scanner so i took pic of the photo using the digital on macro. So there not as good.

[Monty]

It could be, the whole front would have to be replaced Radiator, fans, intercooler. oil cooler maybe powersteering pump, bonet, Light pods, front bumper, spoiler the list goes on. I think that would cost to much and have trouble getting hold of those parts. I just hope they don`t. As the car would be worthless.

[clemo]

ouch...<br>i would have thought they would NOT even think of reparing that poor beasty..<br><br>strange lump on head? trying to work out how you would get that there?<br><br>would be worth a buy back at the right price for spares after all you have spent on it . as you say the back end is in tact...

[Doug]

OUCH   [smiley=yikes.gif]<br><br>poor pinky<br><br>again, just the fact you are keeping a sense of humor and are able to laugh about it is good!
