nearly died!

Now I am not one for dramatics but I nearly died, well nearly lost a limb, well my right index finger.

i can now say hand on heart that my finger is stronger than both a metal fence and a 19's door rolling back under the cars weight.

Bit of a mess and chunks of skin missing but the fingers still there and I can move it.

What happened was we moved the energy from the upstairs driveway to the slabs in our drive. Thing is energy has no brakes etc and the car was rollign back and I couldn't stop it and my mum and sister stood idly by and said is it sore when my finger momentarilly stopped a ton of motorvehicle.

Then I had to lift the back end over about 4 feet again myself now theres blood all down the side of the energy.

Thought I'd let you all know, so kids stay safe, I risk my bits so you lot don't need to!

It's good to see you have pushed through that pain barrier, lifted yourself from your deathbed long enough to take pics of it all.

i successfully skinned all my knuckles on one hand changing my exhaust last weekend.

pulling and pulling on it to seperate the 2 halves, suddenly it lets go and my scrape my hand along the ground at high speed holding the zorst. That really nasty old rough type of tarmac too. Should have used the rubber hammer to smack it... Oh well, the benefit of hindsight eh

yeah that is by far the worst thing..

when you know youve got to pull something to get it out, and you know any moment its gonna go, and ya hands go flyingback and rip aprt on something.

just one of the joys of being a mehcanic.

mind you breaker bar dose most of the good stuff.
