Alan.
Does that make me a hero too then?
I broke my neck on a bike. They fixed it (supposedly) over a six week stay in hospital and the same at home in a full overhead and upper body plaster cast etc. Then, set free and given the all clear and I continued to ride (bike had 25ukp worth of damage back in '78) with some pain but after going back to the hospital three times over a four month period moaning about a 'clicking sound' in my head they said "Ah, yes Mr Clark. Your neck is still broken". Bl%dy great eh?
I was flying at the time too as an aircraft engineer.
Anyway, Back to topic. Hope the Alfa gets straightened out OK. I mean if it had been an old AlfaSud you'd have been sitting there surrounded by a pile of rust so glad it and the crumple zones did their job.

LSM sure does make you a hero along with my wife she broke her neck c6 & c7 had an mri scan didnt show meanwhile this went on for months until she couldnt walk and was bed ridden until they did a ct mylogram which i dont think they do anymore this showed it, good job as it was pressing on her spinal cord 50/50 she would walk again.They operated through the front of her neck and was going to graft some bone from her hip but changed there mind when they got in there.She was more bothered about the scar on her neck than if she would walk again but the scar is so small you can hardly see it.
btw hope you sort the car out soon i would of been really pissed off though.

Hi Alan.
Glad she's OK now!! Not a nice experience.
I did C2 (hangmans knot break) due to the back of my helmet breaking my neck as it snapped back on the armco etc. I have lost two and a half weeks of my memory so.......!
Excuse the lousy pic as I had to do it one handed behind my head!! Mine has bone grafted from the hip and was done from behind (Oooh err missus) and locked with steel wire. Ummmmm

Sorry also too hear about your Grandad Kev
A bit of a bu**er about your car but at least no one got injured
I remember coming off my little trail bike many years ago on black ice on a roundabout, it was that slippery I couldn't stand up, let alone go and pick the bike up Luckily I didn't break any bones
Cheers,
Chris.
PS. LSM So does that mean you are now part bionic
