I know how much you guys hate tangents, but here goes anyway:

 

Yesterday I managed to catch the tail end of a program about Simon Evans and his recovery from that shocking crash in the ARC Rally of Tas round last weekend. It was really awful watching the footage of how distressed Sue was and the mangled car.

 

Simon told this story - from his hospital bed mind you - about how the paramedics were going to cut him from the wreckage of his Corolla (his seat was squashed, which is why his pelvis was broken - yeeeouch).

 

He said that there was NO WAY they were going to cut into HIS car and he'd rather get out himself. And so he did. Pull himself out of his car with a broken pelvis AND leg (I think) just to save his Corolla. Even though it belongs to Toyota and isn't actually his, he still did not want them to cut into the car. You just knew it had to hurt in a major way - and yet he grinned the whole time.

 

What a hero.

Indeed a hero... I do hope he makes a speedy recovery (as speedy as a broken pelvis can go...), was really sad to hear that he had a bad crash. Glad Sue wasn't too badly hurt.

 

Are there any photos of the crash? What happened? The news article didn't have anything, just a photo of Simon grinning as always :)

Gawd... that sucks...Has any 1 thought about making a get better card or something with every 1 signing it? its just a thought....

 

How bad is the corolla?

 

Hope Simon and Sue recover!!!...

I'm a bit late for this party, but Fook showed me those photos from RQ yesterday, so I need to post something to balance the coolness:
