I'm Back!

[RobBentley]

Hi All.

Been quite a while since I posted here so I thought I'd say hi again

Cutting a short story shorter...
The RS4 got side-swiped by a women towing a trailer so that put me on a 'downer' with cars, so I stopped hanging around on the forums.

Got it back 2 days before going on holiday (snowboarding in Tignes). Got out on the slopes and dislocated and broke my collar-bone on Day #1 (bone sticking up out of my shoulder style, proper broken). Spent most of holiday in a french hospital. Been home now about a week and I can now move my arm just enough to type on this here laptop...

.. but driving is out of the question for weeks

Suitably fed-up...

grr...!!

 

[RobBentley]

Even more frustrating, while it was in for accident repair I had Milltek 200-Cell sports cats fitted which have really made it come alive. Only got to drive it for a day

Welcome back by the way and I wish you a speedy recovery.

 

[MasterAuron]

Sorry to hear about the bad times matey Welcome back I'm sure you'll be reet again in no time.

 

[RobBentley]

Cheers All. Doctors expecting 8-10 weeks for normal use of my left arm. That is utterly boring!!

Welcome back, sorry to hear about your run of bad luck. Hope you make a speedy recovery and I guess you'll be typing with just the one finger now

 

[RobBentley]

Nope, came back through the airport no problems. I'm told Titanium can't be magnatised so it won't set-off the detectors. Although, they don't use it because of that - it's because its the only metal your body won't reject...

 

[RobBentley]

back! What was the decision the Mercedes quandary?

Kinda on the back-burner that one. RS4 got wiped out before holiday which put me on a downer with cars, then holiday now I can't drive anyway!

 

[Big Fat Fatty]

We can rebuild him! :bigsmile:

but we don't want to spend much money

welcome back bud, hope you're on the mend and back behind the wheel soon

You must have run over a few black cats! Sorry to hear about both problems, at least both are fixable, hardest part is retaining ones sanity!
