I will return to work on a phased basis on 25th february. Until then i am on a months leave while i complete my course of rehabilitation at hospital. Its been quite a fight to get myself re-instated at work, but i won my case in the end. It will be nice to start earning a few pennies, but it will be a shock to the system.
My lotus is SORN'd, but i intend to get it back on the road by march. Its one of the goals thats been driving me on.

Well done for fighting for it as well.

Well, the Elise is fixed but the A8 has gone to Audi heaven.
Old A8 now changed for new A8. More wafting, care of 4.2V8 fun...

Thanks all
I passed my driving assesment on 24th november, but it will be a while before i feel confident enough to start throwing my car round on track or a country lane. I am driving like a learner again... all checking mirrors and being extra careful. I am probably driving safer now than i have for years!
I am going to have to get lizzy MOTd, taxed and insured again soon. I dont know wether to use a local mot garage or drive a bit further afield for a lotus specalist. I would feel a bit happier with a garage i know i can trust. I might take it to Mike at sports car services up in cannock, but its probably about 10 miles away.
