Was a bit of a freak accident.

We had our car up on blocks whilst changing wheels (as you probably know its a nightmare jacking up the front of a 205). Anyway, it was time to move the car so i let the handbrake off and the car rolled off the blocks.... what he didn't realise was that there was a large metal poll directly behind his leg, so when the car was released it pinned his leg against this bloody poll.

Funnily enough he drove the car round the track after the accident as it just came up as a bruse, but when he was watching me going round in the stand it swelled up big time (due to the drugs he has to take for his heart / kidney). Anyway, Silverstone staff were very helpful and he was swiftly taken away to Hospital late afternoon.

Porkie - was that you in the skyline then?
