Hi Everyone

As a designer of armoured vehicles for Dave and Leon I wanted to let you know that any delays with certain vehicles going into production will not be there fault as, It is the Wood worms who are to blame if I had not been up my loft prepping for spraying for woodworm I would not have slipped hit my abdomen on a cross beam and thought nothing more of it, Until the next day I started p****g blood? This is not right!!! So after the doctors said phone the ambulance and the ambulance said phone the doctors etc
Part 2
So in A&E after a couple of blood test a CT scan and X-ray they tell me what's wrong  a 10cm Cancerous growth on my right Kidney. I think it ok I have. Two!! They then transferred to another hospital more test and scans they are   going to remove my right Kidney on the 23rd July  so as you can appreciated it is the WOODWORMS fault not Dave and Leon
Part 3 the vote
So in order to aid my recovery you can vote for the following vehicles the one with the highest vote gets done first :-\
1: M11/39 (Italian ww2)
2: Humber MK III (British ww2)
3: Conqueror (British cold war)
4: Saracen apc (British cold war)
5 Saladin Armoured car(British cold war)
6 Centurion Bridge layer and Arv2 counts as 1 as it is a conversion

But at the end of it thank F*** for Woodworm and a Nagging wife  or I would not know I had Cancer
Martin (aka Mart678) :-\

Chuckle - I read it as "wormwood" and assumed you'd been hitting the absinthe!

As I've already said, Mart.....

The very best wishes and best of luck, from pair of us at Techno Towers.
You take great care Matey.....We'll all be thinking of you.

It's one of those occasions when I don't know quite what to say.

Again.....VERY best wishes - Phil.

If they found a growth, you should be THANKING the woodworm for getting it diagnosed. And how do you thank them? Agonising death by poison...

No gratitude, some people...  :(

And I want a Conqueror!  :D

Even the humble woodworm has its place in the grand scheme of things.

Glad you found out early.

Best wishes for a complete recovery and tell your missus to keep nagging if this is what happens. (Mine does so you are not alone).

First off hope it all goes well for you.

Second, the Italian 11/39 gets my vote.

Bloody hell, that's heck of a way to get a quick diagnosis :S

Good luck and fingers crossed for swift action, resolution and recovery!

Ouch !
Take care of yourself !

( if you - really - want a vote, I'd say anything for WW2 is ok for me) but recover before, sir !

Leon

Good luck on the 23rd Martin, and take it easy as well.  My vote would be for the Humber if possible, then we can release both that and the LRC at the same time!

That said I'm not sure it's really an acceptable reason for not finishing the M11/39 first! :d

Wow, sh*t!
Hope all goes well, the woodworm were on your side!
Speedy recovery.
I'll vote for a Saladin, but only if you feel up to it.

Good luck. Perhaps the woodworm were some deity working in a mysterious way? Hope all goes well.

With a list including the Centurion, what can I say? But after that, the Humber III.

Reviewing the answers, I think we can say

a) everyone wishes you well, and a speedy recovery
b) choice of "what next" is equally spread between all options.  Well who'd have thunk it?

All the best,  and get well soon.  I'll be thinking of you. Odd, isn't it, the way unexpected things can turn out to be gifts in disguise?   And on Armoured vehicles? It just has to be the M11/39 - you just have to admire the Italians who went to war in those things!
