WHAT WOULD YOU DO????
My evening gets even more complicated..............
I assume you know about the unfortunate events this weekend.
Ants been moping around the house all day with a face like a wet tea towel, and I knew something was cooking......
He told me earlier that a sponsor had offered to re-build him the car at no cost to us, we just supply the donor shell. Then, to top it all off, another sponsor has now offered financial support for the donor shell
He doesnt know what to do, he absolutely adores the sport, its the one thing that hes actually good at (when on 4 wheels
) , theres been so many people involved with making the whole thing happen, and I know he really wants to do it again. He knows I wont be participating anymore, but I guess its his decision.....

But he says its 'in him' and that I understand. I have given him my blessing, on the understanding that I will be staying in the spectator stands from now on. As for the scoob, we'll see.......

Its obvioulsy shaken you up, support him the best you can - even if it is on the side lines, Better for him to drive like an idiot in a controlled enviroment than to go out and buy a big motorbike say.
Go for it

Crickey, what a week it's been for you guys jak. First off, there's the absolutely gutting feeling ant must have felt, seeing you airlifted off to hospital with possible spinal injuries, then the realisation that his lifes dream has come to an end, then to top it off, the flame of hope in yourself that you can finally get the scooby you've always dreamed of owning.
A whole mix of emotions, hopes, fears and dreams in a few days.
And to add the cherry to the cake of life, the spark that ant may indeed race again is rekindled.
What to do? Only you two can decide that course. And asking for advice of us bunch is probably not a good idea In the end though, it comes down to what the chief says: Life is for living, and you don't get a second chance at it. Grab every oppurtunity you get with both hands, and don't let go. Thrash out between yourself and ant how your new situation is going to work. Lay down the ground rules now, with leeway to change things in the future if need be. Tell him clearly and with no doubt what you feel about your side of any arrangments made, and most importantly, listen to his side too.
In the end, you've only got each other, and no piece of metal should come between you, even if it was a spec c in white
All the best with whatever decision you guys make, and see you soon,
chris.

Is there no way you could do both? You say that there is going to be no further cost to yourself's with the re-build of the rally car so surely you can both go with the dreams you've got, ie you can surport him with his passion and at the same time you can get the scooby that you have set your heart on because you would only regret it if you don't!!
Just think whilst your watching him doing his thing you will have your nice scooby waiting to take him home at the end of the day, plus you know you will both be happy plus giving your full backing.
So in a knut shell i'd said do both if possible get the best of both worlds while your young enough to enjoy life you in your new scobby and your fella in his rally car sorted, it's ok asking us but i'm sure you'll make the right decsion good luck

Serious post based on personnal experiance
Tell him to go rallying again mate, when i had my near fatal Bike crash i swore for the first year i'd never ever ride a bike again. The second year i waivered and for the last 3.5 yrs or so i pine to be back on a bike but due to the physical condition of my knee ie can't bend it enough to ride a sport bike, its not a viable option, and it gets to me when i hear bikes screaming around in the summer because i'm not, if i could i'd be bike racing now. If he stops now he will pine for the rallying and lets be realistic you he or anyone of use could get ran over tommorow or be diagnosed with a terminal illness. Atleast with motorsport medical help is instantly on hand, if you crash on a back road it's not.
