Damaged . Devic's disease is what I'm being investigated for atm and being transferred to Oxford Centre . I lost both legs and currently after 3 course steroids got use of legs bk . Bladder is coming bk to a fashion and bowels I'm hoping will follow . I currently have continuous tingling in both legs and have started to get temperature sensation back in my feet . So hoping I'll regain alot of lost sensations back but happy to walk again either way.

Are you paralysed as in a "complete" spinal injury (where the spinal cord is severed) or are you "incomplete" (where the spinal cord is damaged)?

Mark.

Hi, I too am an incomplete para since 1987 when I had a bike accident. I manage to get around on crutches and have hand controls on my evo

I know this is a little off topic but having had a disabled mother for the first 23 years of my life with wheelchair adaptations, hand throttle and brake controls etc. - True petrol head, Supra Turbos, Cosworths, etc... A friend of mine at the time who lost an arm in a motorbike accident bought the one car which surprised us most. It was an early WRX auto (93-94 ish). Still to this day one of the most violently accelerating cars I've ever been in and an auto box which was awesome...

I'd imagine these can be had really cheaply nowadays (far cheaper than Evo's) and would make an awesome bargain track hooner for any non able bodied driver fancying trying their skills on a track without breaking the bank

Just my 2p...

Member on here,Lawsy, in the same situation as your mate,races evo's at the sprints and ain't no slouch. Theirs a few videos on here with him driving and he drives like f**k.

[backagain]

Yeah, we used to race Rotax Max's and he then moved on to 250 gearbox karts, hand clutch and foot gear change the crazy *******! Used to break / fracture ribs regularly when cornering, due to not having both hands on the wheel to steady himself.

Good on ya mate just because you have a disability does not mean you can't kick some ass in a evo . Keep the dream alive Mate screw the haters

Cheers for the info bud

I had a '93 WRX Auto, and like you say it accelerated immediately.....no lag at all.......perfect

It was one of the best cars I've ever had for lemonade money

They would make good track day cars.....seem to be getting scarce now though

Hi Alan,

I think you're just asking for trouble with a badge like that. I personally think it's disgusting and would certainly give people with a disability a bad name.

I also think it would encourage people to damage to your car.

I'd remove it....just my 5p's worth with being disabled myself.
