Hey cre hope you're good?

Nah luckily it wasn't my baby that got hit, I got skittled off the plastic maggot (Hoda CX500) I used to ride & now wear titanium plates in my jaw and a stainless pin in my leg. This was May 2010 and am still waiting on the guy's insurance. (to start with they tried to tell me my tyres were bald, not that it woulda made a difference on that dry day if they were.)

Anyway, long story short my solicitor's been riding their a$$es and now they're accepting liability at last & I'm just waiting on their offer.

The Supra was fine until the crappy silicone BOV signal pipe ruptured whilst accelerating hard & when I lifted off the old CT26 (running at 12psi anyway, but coping just) decided it didn't like the feel of compressor surge at that kind of speed and broke the turbine wheel clean off the shaft to show it's disgust... So rather than ruin another CT26 in a few thousand miles I'm waiting to do the job properly with a hybrid, injectors & basically make the whole car better than is was before.
