What a wimp, Eric had to be driven to A&E to have cosmetic surgery to put his thumb back together after trying to start my Felgiebel. And JB's was sooo bad that he found that just the threat from me to kiss it better made it rapidly improve so he could drive home less than an hour later
, Eric wasn't allowed to drive for at least a week after his chop
1 And it was his own fault: he tried poking his thumb at the back of the engine bed plate where it bends down between the two crankshaft bearings (to clear the crankshaft throw
) so that he could get a better swing on the starting handle. He can't blame my engine - it wasn't running

1. Eric was told no driving for a week but when he realised he had missed out on having it kissed better he was back the following day to collect his car
