Ruptured achilles

[copilot]

Less than four weeks to go to le-mans and I've bust my achilles tendon. Looks like an operation and at least twelve weeks in a pot.

What are you doing with the tickets and ferry bookings Dave? Might be interested!!

I like the thought process Windsor! It seems it quite an easy job to find the offer of a chauffeur, so it looks like me and Chris will be taking turns in the back of the car...How can I miss an event like that. I like the thought that you appear to be considering it...it's not too late and it would be great if you could join us. By the way the Cobra man is now a Tuscan man so, so far it's a Tuscan I, Tuscan II and a Cerb...possibly a griff and just maybe another Cerb?

You know you want to...............

Some sort of pully system sounds in order!

I did that 3 years ago - snapped my tendon, hurt like F*** - my sympathies.

Is this a common injury with Cerbera drivers? I did my cruciates and spent 6 weeks in a forest gump style brace

SLIGHTLY OT but my mum did BOTH Achilles tendons last week, looks like she will be in hospital for at least 12 weeks and then god knows how long after until she can walk properly again - BOTH - christ that must sting a bit!

There must be something in the water at the moment, because both my neighbour and my boss have also done this!



I just can't imagine how much that must hurt...my sympathies.

Ouch! Happened to my best mate last week, had op on Friday.



He's a skiving git though so no sympathy. Get well soon fellah

[copilot]

Thanks guys

99% of the time I feel good, but just feeling that little bit 1% and thought I'd spend some time here. Well done, lif'es a giggle. But looks like I'm a copilot ....yet again.

Tell your mum I feel for her.

Mmmm thought about that, but while both hands are on the clutch & gear change, I need to crack the problem of joining my nose to the steering wheel.

Me did that too. Great brace looks really dramatic! Only problem was they had to rebuild my knee too. Couldn't walk properly for 6 months afterwards.

For what it's worth...Tell your mum I keep thinking of her. Hope she's OK. Makes me feel like a fraudster!
