Mk5 GTian....
« on: October 28, 2012, 12:56:08 pm »
.
Forum member and very big enthusiast Ian, had a near fatal accident at home about 10 days ago when he slipped on his kitchen floor and cut open the back of his head on a granite work surface. He was found by a friend and rushed to hospital. The wound became infected but fortunately, although the infection was apparently the hospital's fault, they saved his life.

He is now at home and obviously has to take it easy as he slowly recovers - It could take a couple of months but his future is looking good healthwise. He works for himself but many of his clients are standing by him I'm glad to say.

Anyway, if he doesn't post here as often as usual, this is why.

I'm sure that many will join me in wishing him a full and speedy recovery  :happy2:

Hope you recover quickly so you can get back to driving the GTI!  :driver:

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
