Me too. We'd spend Christmas holidays all over it.

I'd often hitch hike over to Torquay (technally not on the Great Ocean Rd) and camp at Anglesea and Lorne.

No bony injury. But he shredded a one muscle, ripped through an artery, and tore one nerve from its branch point while severely bruising up the other, adjoining nerve. I think he's going to have two numb-ish fingers when all is said and done.

I wonder if this sponsorship will allow me to have my car re-aligned, corner balanced, lowered? Hmm... Gotta check into that.

Alarick, it's been around 8 years since my 3rd degree shoulder separation. Can you still reattach things? It's normally not a bother, but when wrenching on the 911, I do feel it. Not that I'd have it fixed, but just wondering if it still could be.

Sponsorship as in money for logo on car, or work in trade for logo on car? Any requirements, as in number of events attended, or podium finishes?

Local garage I use for dyno, he is on that street racer show…he had honda as a sponsor while he was winning the championship drag racing his Civic, dropped him as soon as he started getting beat.

Could be a lot of things causing your pain. A physical exam and an MRI are a start. Maybe you'll respond to a cortisone injection or therapy. Surgery can be an option (start with an arthroscopy and go from there, depending on the intraoperative findings). But at the same time, there's a saying: there's no condition so bad that surgery can't make it worse. So make sure you have a good reason to operate before operating.

Oh, and get an extra TRE sticker (the small one) for Mrs. Noah. We'll stick it on the minivan.
