Sorry to hear that Starkers, was this completely out of the blue? :o
I know two people that have had fits and were unable to drive, both of them are now back on the road and controlling the fits with tablets.

Clearly my English isn"t good enough to get this one... Why exactly do you have to return your license? I didn't even know this was possible :o

Im sure that doesnt apply to the odd track day.. Infact with the money you'll save on tax and insurance, etc perhaps you could manage one a month ? :thumbsup:

I'm still in hospital for about a month and 6 months in recovery. I'm going to sell up in March and just wash my cars

Going to have to change careers and buy a bike

If it's any help to put in perspective, my best friend was told an hour ago that his cancer can't be cured and he's got 6 weeks (max) to live. :(

I think the silver lining here might be it could save you a bomb and also mean everyone else has to drive you about..
