Remember IF this guy can do it so can YOU!

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Remember IF this guy can do it so can YOU!

Just because a person has lost an arm or both doesn't mean they won't work on their cars.
So when you say I'm not able too, watch this and think again

There's no 'arm in it! (sorry, couldn't resist)
Good on him for not being prevented from doing something he enjoys!

He's probably quite good at setting up his front wheel alignment as well.
Not too much toe in mind....

Lazy bugger sat down to do it.... :twisted:

Seriously though, this guy is a perfect example of not letting a perceived problem stop him from doing what he wants. It would be difficult for us to do the same but with practise we could get used to it. I'm riddled with arthritis and some days I can't do anything but when I can I just get on with stuff. Part of the arthritis is in my upper and lower spine. My upper due to a bad car accident back in 1992 but my lower spine could well be due to being stupid in the past and lifting Mini engines out of an engine bay without a lift... I used to rope them up and then straddle the bay and lift.
