After a ridiculous about of phone calls, my insurance company have finally agreed to let me have my car back.:o The only problem is they're refusing to deliver it :angry:

Just wondered if anyone with a tow track could quote me for the job?

The car is currently in a garage in Charminster and it needs to go to my house in Moordown. This is a 0.9 mile journey according to google maps:

Heres some pics of the damage if you need them:

Couldn't a load of us just push it ?

Or are there hills ?


First dibs on bits ;-)

Unfortunately I don't think its possible to push it as the back wheels badly buckled and won't turn at all.:( I did think about trying to bodge the back axel to make it driveable as it still runs fine.

Just spoke to the guys cisco recommended and their really cheap so hopefully it should be sorted :)

I’m going to try and sell it as a whole first but, yeah np, you've got first dibs on the bits if I do break it. ;) Is there anything in particular that you need?

Are your wiper arms any good ?

Since I had my windscreen replaced my wipers miss a chunk of the windscreen on the down stroke. I think the springs are past their best and no longer produce enough pressure on the windscreen.

Also, the surround for the drivers' side foglight is cracked. You can't see it from the road, but I know it's there :rolleyes:

My wipers do work but the arms have gone rusty at the ends. I'm not sure if they would clean up. I had it on my todo list but just never got around to it. I have got a spare offside fog light but it’s not in the best of nick ether I’m afraid. The font looks okish but the brackets are totally broken and the cap at the back is missing. I bought two from ebay for a tenner but only used the nearside one. It’s yours for free if you want it? I was in Trent’s scrap yard last weekend a noticed a fairly complete MR2. That might be worth a look?

Good idea if i had premium brake down cover. Unfortunately i've only got cheapo AA cover so they'd just tow me back into garage :lol:

Hopefully it'll still be there in decent nick although they do seam to turn them around quite quickly. It maybe worth a quickly phone call to save your-self a wasted journey.

Mine is a '95 rev 3.
