Damn Mark, those pictures made me feel sick to the stomach! Really glad you're ok and talking to me on MSN, that car of yours was legendary, but glad glad you walked away unscathed!

A sorry day for IMOC :cry: :cry:

Take it easy mate, hope to see you back on the MR2 scene soon [-o<

Cheers guys, i will miss santa pod with it i have to admit, but i can't afford to run a toy as a day to day car anymore anyway so a reshell is out of the question.

I'd rather see the engine and box live on with someone else that will give it the life it needs.

Sorry to hear that mate, it's a good lesson though for others. You were probably one of the few people here that can actually drive an mr2 properly and it can still do that to you.

Gutted for you.

At least it's the end of the Merc jokes, i'll miss them :( :pale:

:shock: A legend bites the dust. Such a shame Mark. I know what you mean about losing interest too. I havent used my car in a long time and dont get much chance to come on here much.

OMG!!! just seen this! gut wrenching photos there. glad your ok, never had the pleasure of seeing it in the flesh!

not quite as bad as smashing it up, but i had my engine melt last week! i know what you mean about losing the passion. but for me that lasted a few hours before thought of shiney new engines and things started fling round my head!

you might not feel like it now, but the craving will get the better of ya! once a two owner, always a two owner.

all the best mate

Matt

Sorry to read of your accident Mark, but glad you are OK.

You have been an inspiration to many of the MR2 community.

Now maybe i'll get less of the "Can you make my car as powerful as Mark's, - you know, that guy on IMOC." :lol:

But i think somehow, you will not be forgotten as quickly as that!

Just got in from work.

Damn, I can't believe it. Scary photos.

At least the body, yours that is, is OK.

That car was an inspiration for more than a few people on here.

noooooooooooooooooooooooo

Thanks for the MSN earlier - like I said, I'm gutted, and it's not my car, and I only got up close and personal with it at JAE 8-[

A diesel polo? Are you sure you didn't get a bang on the head?? :mrgreen:

Think about it for a couple of days, then decide what you want to do with it all, act in haste, repent at leisure 'n all that.

Glad to hear your ok :eye:
