Well, it's for sale after resnapping my achilles and not being able to drive for another 4 months or so.

Not a happy bunny.    :cry:

ouchh, get well soon mate, i do agree with toby though, take it off the road untill you get back on your feet then stick it back on the road, unless you were wanting a new car anyway, no point selling what you have now to buy something pretty simelar in 4 months.

I don't understand.  You can't drive for 4 months - why sell your car (I presume)?

Won't you have to buy another one in 4 months time?


Need more context please.

originally snapped my achilles playing football mid sept. after doing as I was told by the docs, six weeks in plaster six in a support boot, snapped again while walking up stairs late dec. had an op last tuesday to repair which means another 12 weeks in plaster/boot. i'm going to go fooking nuts if i'm unable to drive for another 4 months so an auto is on the cards which means the gof has to go.

trust me, the golf has been my favourate car of all and I wouldn't be selling if I didn't have to.

Ah.  Sorry to hear that.  Must be painful.  Get well soon.


On the plus side, potential buyers are now alert to you being desperate to sell.

So it's not all bad news.

There is a lesson here.

Indeed, never take part in physical activities.
