Okay, it's not a Clio, but I bet it's the dirtiest, most filthiest car on this forum :rasp:

Haha!
I had people asking me if they could take pictures of the car when I parked up at the jet wash.

Wasn't too bad actually, the jet wash blasted most of it off, but it took a while. Still some stubborn bits on it, but it started to get dark so I've left it. Pretty much clean now though!

My mate's Mk3 Clio was parked next to my 306, his was just as bad. We were going to our cars together and soon as we saw that mess we just looked at each other and burst out laughing in disbelief haha!
Wouldn't mind a shotgun for Christmas, I'll be taking up bird shooting in the New Year.

when I saw the matelot outfit in the background I figured that it'd been a good 6 months........ 1 night though!!
We've got this huuuuuge flock of little birds flying around the camp, thousands of them! They seem to nest in a different tree every night, and they leave behind one hell of a mess! Little b*stards!
Feel for you mate!
I just had the same, 4 operations in 5 months from a fracture to my L3
how did the metal work collapse may I ask?Mildly concerned that mines going to do the same now!

They aren't 100% sure but I started getting lower back pain about 6 months ago and it slowly worked down the back of my right leg and into my foot. Now I have constant pins and needles in my right leg and my foot feels completely dead.
This X-ray was from about 5 years ago after my initial surgery..
The L5 veterbra shown in the meshed area has now collapsed and is sat on top of the L4 which has put pressure on lower vertebra. So in short has led to 2 ruptured discs so I have to have a open discectomy to remove the discs, add a prosthetic vertebra and replace the metal work to support.
I hope everything goes okay for you mate, mine had been fine for nearly 5 years. How did you suffer the trauma if you don't mind me asking?

Going off the half-arsed efforts in here this year, I'd eclipse most of you at present.

Depends on the type of roads. I haven't washed mine in over 12 months and it doesn't look that dirty. My dad can clean his car and within a day it looks dirtier due to where they live.

Oohhhh nice metal work! Thats what I had minus the mesh, however they took one set of screws and a rod out as I contracted MRSA which I couldnt shake for 5 months
Mine was all self inflicted on 2 wheels. Racing motocross but went for a bit of a flying lesson off a jump. Ended up about 10-15 feet in the air, went horizontally about 30 feet, but unfortunately when i 'ejected' my body turned in the air so I ended up flying backwards and landed on the lip of the next jump with my lower back/bum. The fracture was the same as what someone might get if they landed straight on their head bizarrely. My L3 crushed the disc below it and ended up out at an angle so they had to operate to straighten it and stabilize it.
Was told if it had gone any further I would've be in a wheel chair, as like you I had pins and needles down my leg etc so feel very lucky!
How about you, what happened?

MRSA, s**t! That is awful, glad you're all good now though!
Sounds really nasty that, but at least it's an exotic sounding story lol!
Mine was due to a speedboat accident down in Poole. Basically we got struck by a large wave at speed which unsettled the boat and we then hit another wave head-on and I got thrown from the boat. Came down from a fair height and landed on my spine on the edge of boat. Thankfully my dad had shut the engine off or I would have been cut to pieces! I got lifted by the air ambulance and spent 3 months in hospital after the surgery.
Makes you think when you have a serious trauma how fragile the human body actually is.

fuuuu. i thought mine was bad! mines not that bad and its not been washed in 3 weeks and its just driven to the north east and back!
Yer was proper kick me when I'm down scenario when that happened! Haha.
N thats insane! They say when you hit water at speed it's like concrete, guess your the proof! At least you got a free helicopter ride, like a mug I said I was alright but just get me out of here now so they took me in an ambulance! Wish I'd gone in the bloody 'chopper!
Yer definitely, makes you realise how close you can be to losing it all. Big wake up call bud.
Stay safe mate and hope it all goes well! Give us an update when you're done with the op
