thanks for the welcome and comments :)

witht the fto i was basically on my way to work, country road at about 60-70 leptons, went round a left hand bend and there was a tractor sat there doing about 10-15mph.
i read the road, if he were to attempt to go a little faster ie. 20-25mph then i would have seen him from the previous long straight and i wouldn't have skidded onto the wrong side of the road and had a head on with a volvo.

i admit it was my fault, and ive learnt alot from it... although the statement of the tractor driver says he was 100 yards in front of me and his young niece also said 100 YARDS (funny, i thought they learn metric nowadays!).
now if he was 100 yards ahead, this wouldn't have happened, he would have been round the next bend!...

the recovery garage thought i was dead and were shocked to see me walk in for my personal items from the car! i suffered from a broken collar bone, a hole between my chin and bottom lip, deep cut just above my eye, deep cuts on both my knees and loosing my 2 front teeth (one was ripped out forwards, one was fired up behind my nose),anyway, 4k of dental treatment later i have front teeth again!

i originally didnt want another yellow car, but it was the best i viewed.

i agree, they would look good, im keeping it standard for now though, im enjoying stock suspension after driving round on coilovers for the best part of 2 years..especially as my coilies were twice the stiffness of tein ones!

most definitely steve! really want to test the handling in a track environment, i dont trust the roads at all.
my view now is, if you cant see it, its a hazard!
