Default A big ask!

Hi guys, some of you will probably remember my earlier postings regarding the "Haynes Pig" my mate's father started to build, (for those who don't recall it here's a quick precis: My mate's dad wanted to build a car, I got him into the Haynes idea, he started but struggled to find a donor so decided to turn it into a three wheeler (hence the "Haynes Pig" title). Anyway he completed it as a three wheeler and has been building trikes for the last year or so. A month or so back he was diagnosed with cancer, at first they thought they could do something but this morning I was told that he's terminal and there's nowt they can do for him.

Now to the upshot of this post and its a big ask!

Is there anybody in the West Midlands area (Shropshire in particular) with a complete, registered and road going car that could perhaps take him for a drive out?

I haven't seen him since he was diagnosed so it might not even be possible but it occurred to me tonight that the one thing I could have done for him was to give him a ride in the Dragon. Sadly that is at least a year off completion so perhaps a kindly soul in the area could help out?

I hope to visit him at home tomorrow evening ( he only lives 1/4 mile away from me) and will know better from that if it is even viable for him but I thought first of all to see if there was a car and driver nearby.

Here's hoping someone can help and that he is up to it.

D.
