Boy, if that doesn't inspire a guy to convalesce, I don't know what will:
A sports car enthusiast who suffered a mini stroke while restoring a Lotus Esprit was amazed when online friends finished the work for him in secret. Simon Pritchard, 36, from Abergavenny, had been in the process of rebuilding the 25-year-old car when he fell ill.
When members of the Lotus Esprit online forum website heard, they donated money and time to fix it.
The original 18-month project costing £25,000 actually took his friends just five weeks to complete.
Awesome story. Via Mark.
