Default hanging the keys up

Yes you heard it right

I am hanging the keys up to the crazy but fun easy to drive turbo S2000. After just over a years wait for it, and plenty or heartache money, i have to hang the keys up.





Well only for 12 weeks, bloody typical, this saturday i have been called in on a cancellation to hospital to have a plate put in my foot, (acel/braking foot)

Freaking typical so only been driving it a month and now have to give it up for a 2-3 months

I have already been in undated with offers from my mate and boss to keep the engine ticking over, hmmm think not

So if anyone is waiting for more reviews sorry they will be later in the year, and for those who wanted to see it i will try and get it out as soon as possible, or if your ever in the london area feel free to give me a shout and can pop along to view it

Good luck with th eoperation, I hope everything goes well for you

I've not driven my car since May when I started Chemotherapy, so I feel your pain (obviously not directly ).

Just let that excitement build until the day you're up and about again, I know I certainly can't wait! It'll be hard not to be over-enthusiastic though when you get those keys for the first time again!

Good luck

Good luck with the opp, I've fairly recently had a couple of plates put in my right shoulder and left arm. I would hope it does not take too long to heal, I was driving days after the last one although left arm is not as important as your breaking foot.

As ever we need pictures.... the more gruesome the better

Good luck with the op Phil and a speedy recovery.

I'm just recovering from a torn bicep and had my shoulder length cast removed on Monday. I was back behind the wheel yesterday, quite painful changing gear but I couldn't wait any longer after being out for 2 months !!!!!
