Another reason for Auto's

Another reason for an auto over a manual.

should you inadvertantly take part in some kind of team sporting event and break your left lower leg with an impact injury, you can drive an auto but obviously you would not be able to drive one with a clutch.

if, like me, you manage to damage your right leg too, this prevents you driving anything. at least for the next 2 weeks....then maybes i may get the cast, crutches and me in the SLK and park in the disabled spaces legitamately until the full 8wks is up, fingers crossed not complications....

ouch

cheer up joe, it could have been your neck. Rig something up with CCand a brolly, like Dougie Bader in Reach for the Sky

4ft of 1" dowel similar to Mr Bean will do it......and why were you mad enough to take part in some physical sporting event at your age?....its not a good idea to slosh the doughnuts and marshmallows around......sorry to hear about your injury mate, is there anyway you can claim it as an industrial injury and get that SLR ?

not unless the lower the price of the SLR to £1500. thats the compo i will get which reflects the fact i was doing everything properly and they are paying me full pay for how ever long i need to be off plus recuperation time.

we have also found it there is nothing extra that could be done to prevent this accident happening again and I am required maintain a certain level of fitness so it is provided for me. still, 8wks off and an extra 2 wks pay is better than 8 wks at work and no extra...shall give my guardian angels the extra for looking after me.
