Very Lucky Escape

The Angels are still looking out for me.

Went for s steady drive this morning. Just passed speed camera for 40 limit. 100 yes in front White van man decided he'd to a U turn. Hardly had time to brake/ react.

Hit the van mid drift doing 40-50 (was now in national limit)

Both legs well and truly pinned.

My youngest daughter was following behind with her boyfriend. They also nearly hit the van but skidded to a stop next to me.

Noticed smoke and flames from under bonnet.

Adrenaline kicked in and I somehow got my mangled legs free. Daughters boyfriend and van driver dragged me clear as fire took hold.

Had the full bag of mashing arrive including air ambulance..

 

Now in hospital awaiting surgery tomorrow on both knees. Broke knee cap on right + 3" cut to bone

Broke FEMA around left knee and 6" gash to bone.

 

A real testament to AK cars for strength as injuries probably worst in anything else.

 

Going to enjoy the morphine now and hopefully home for xmas.

 

Can't post pixies so maybe someone can lift them from FBOok for me

 

Once back on my feet will be looking for a new beast so I can use the mountain of new parts I ordered for the winter mod...

 

Only 3 of nine lives left I reckon

So glad you're safe matey, that's the most important thing........because as sh1t as it is to see that beautiful car smouldering, at the end of the day its only a car and can always be replaced.

 

Looks like Linda will be getting the nurses uniform back out in time for Christmas....every cloud has a silver lining 😜
