"BAMM"............all i see is white lights and stars....i feel sick as a pig...just managed to stay concieous...put my hand up to my head and there is a swelling there half the size of a golf ball...(its gone down somewhat now).. the bloody torque wrench rolled off the wing ...slid thro' the engine bay and poleaxed me on the forehead..................christ that bloody hurt... and it was all going so well..........

Rewulf Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Id be inclined to get that looked at mate. If its hit you end on, it could have fracture your bonce, or concussed you. You wont know till you keel over 😯 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homeopathic remedy, what ever gives you a headache cures the headache. In all seriousness though I would get the noggin checked out, especially as the transport problem is sorted.
