I have a 7 week old adapted car. It has a hoist in the back for my wheelchair or mobility scooter. I think I need an extra adaption to help get me in and out when I'm on my own, as my carer can't always be with me. In the future, it's very possible I will need an automatic car.
I say that I'm rare, as I don't look ill or disabled. #ButYouDontLookSick.Com

Now there's a question, we used to own a car tuning/modifying business so have worked on a few oddball cars but not really owned many strange or rare ones. Best claim to fame is building and sending an engine and gearbox to run in a race series in Australia.
We used to run the one of the fastest fwd cars in the country but since getting the dogs our needs have changed a bit.
We're now down to just two cars for the first time in many years and just have a modified Audi A4 Avant Quattro and a bog standard Fiesta Ecoboost.
I think if we bought another project car it would either be a MK2 Escort for N (sold his GP 4 spec one for pennies years ago, doh) or another Navara or converted VW Transporter for C.

Next project is to convert a van into a camper

I hate that
but to be honest, I'd prefer not to look sick or disabled at the same time.

Think that may be our next project, Transporter to camper and dog van, much more likely and practical than my desire for an overpriced rally car as a toy that would get hardly any use.

I'd prefer to look ill, then I wouldn't be judged as much. Comments of I'm just fat and lazy, or that I think it's Benidorm because I'm on a scooter. Nasty looks when I use a disabled parking bay, list goes on.I hate that

That's really not fair, there are so many 'invisible' illnesses that people just don't have a clue about.
I usually look absolutely fine, if a bit tired, according to most people. A decent amount of time I am fine now thanks to pacing and knowing my current limits, etc. but if I do something stupid or push myself too far I really pay for it.
I did the 22 pushup challenge the other week and managed it ok, unfortunately it took me out for about a week and felt like I could hardly breathe for a fair few days. My own stupidity, I know.

I have no patience to pace. If I'm running on adrenaline like I was at VA, I over do it and then like you, takes a week to recover, but I think it's worth it.
