This is the Momo model 26 steering wheel that I want to add along with the quick release, I just hope its stronger then the OEM steering wheel

I'd rather a steering wheel that breaks apart in a collision...

This is so that some big mouth in Queensland who thought he knew what happened can get an idea of what really happened. The rectangle is were I hit the shed

This is the view coming up the street and there was no reflective sign when I had the accident they put that there after the crash.

Good to see that you and the car are having a second life. So you were driving at the speed limit on that street and just misjudged things a bit then?

was doing 60-65 in 50 zone unfortunately wasn't concentrating on road and sometimes that is all it takes especially on a street your not familiar with. To be honest the steering wheel collapsing is what caused most of the injuries. Right hand- broke 2 middle fingers from smashing into dash, broke scafoid bone. Left hand- fractured wrist, dameged tendons on little finger and thumb

fark that steering wheel did you no favours but at least your head escaped any damage! No wanking for a few months I suggest :lol:

Great to see this car (and owner) on the road to recovery.

May need to get new plates - Phoenix.

.....

Just checked, PHOENIX is taken (literally, ezyreg says it's a stolen plate!) FOENIX is available but not the same.

standard SA plates will do just fine I think Michael. the animal plate was a bit of fun at the time but it does look bad as I was labelled a hoon only because of the plate .

Holy crap. The fact that you survived that is a miracle! Hope your full recovery is swift.

Its been a year and 3 mths since the accident so I'm feeling 95% recovered. I've really got to hand it my wife, she was 6mths pregnant at the time and ran our take away shop working 7 days a week and doing over 90 hrs a week. She would then come home and take care of me and the house doing most of the hose work as well. She kept working right up until a week before she popped. By that time I was back in the shop working fresh out of the casts so I think that helped the recovery a bit but it was very hard as my hands where very week and stiff. I've recently been able to do push ups supporting my upper body and having both hands flat on the ground while having both arms straight. This shows just how much something like this slows you down and even then your still never 100%.
Oh and as for the tie my wife did that as well.:D
