Club G40 > General Chat

Hello again, best regards from Leicester!

Hello!
Just a hello, I rebuilt mine in 2010 after a big crash, and only just really got round to fixing the starter and oil leak that's kept it on my front.....

You know how it is, just when you've got the engine out a phone call comes from a hospital saying they want you to come in to talk about putting electrodes in your brain.!!
Thanks to (more) planned neuro surgery I might get to drive again still but the seizures mean I cant' really see me ever driving again...

But I still love having one, and will part with it one day, but for now I can dream... That 1st 140MPH-on-the-m5, that excess wind noise, the deep rumble of 800RPM..
Cheers, happy days wished
NEAL

If you find yourself in the middle of no-where and need to know where you are, look up towards the stars... If you can find the plough, you've crashed into a tractor

Glad to hear you're persevering! I remember reading about your bad luck a few years ago. I've got not health issues preventing me,  I'm just lazy......and I don't have a garage! I reckon I'd have built about ten cars by now if I had a garage.

Are you still able to drive but just not allowed legally? You may still be able to take part in track days and the like?

NealPeal:
Yay, hello!!!!!  I smiled, cheers, hmm track days…?! Cor you've had yours ages phew... (I write mine off at an average of 1 every 5 years, you've done well!!) We both registered on here about the same time, it's been 10 years!!

I had that first *public* seizure in ages in October (sat in the audience before a regular stand-up gig I do in Leicester & Derby...  I still did my set after half hour sleep and was funny, but.... There's at least a video of the set to prove it!

but that's done me, I wouldn't trust myself up a ladder even... I have decided I've gave up fun until there's more surgery done, even stopping playing indoor-bowls in case I scare them!
I just sit here writing code, making little bits on the 3d printer and feeding the hedgehogs at night... The car is similar, something to play with..! Until it gets told to bury me..... :-|
Someone waved £4000 cash in my face for it last year (probably thinking it was a MK1 golf GTI!) but still these are rarer!. Only takes one demonstration of it running to sell it to someone racy! We're spraying the roof again where next-door jetwashed sand all over it but that's fine, will look brand new again again again!

Yeah I wouldn't trust me and a track day at the moment there are daily blackouts and weekly "screamers" .The epilepsy tablets are *just* like I remember magic-mushrooms and I find the benefits of canabinols twice a day :-) so the world is a bit psychotronic psychedelic!.. I'd love to come to see a track day one day, just too far from Leicester to get trains and busses.. And I'm jobless/potless/!, but I do get a free busspass and teeth and glasses at 42!!! :-)


There's an appointment to chat about surgery just came for the 4th July.. 10am, north London..
I wish I could go to London *just one more time in the Polo* (although at about 18MPG) but as it is we're going in a Hybrid Toyota (65MPG) ..!

I am lucky to live with my parents, have my dad to fix the cars with in his garage with loads of tools, with a lathe and 3d/normal printers and a Swimming Club data to administer.! We bought the engine lift off Ebay for £90 and will sell it when we're done!!


Cor, for the days when Worcestershire was only an hour/half away

Hi Neal, glad to see you're still tinkering with the old G40.
