After a great run out early on Sunday the car was smothered in bugs. So after lunch I set out to give the P&J the post blast wash off.
Having done the body I was about to start on the wheels when it started to rain.
As I'd just rolled the car out of the garage I tugged on one of the spokes on the front alloy to pull it back into the garage before it got wet. What I forgot about was the slight lip to the garage entrance which when the rear wheel met it caused the car to roll back, taking my fingers down into the recess with the caliper.
My ring finger from the knuckle to just below the nail bed is mullered. After 8 hours in A&E yesterday, at Wansbeck then Cramlington I'm off to see the hand surgeon at 10am today to repair one of the tendons and graft some skin back on. Note to self: don't move the car by pulling on the front wheel.
