I exchanged emails with Toms son on Friday actually
Its obviously going to be a long road for Tom but any progress is good news....
"He is moving now his two legs and his fingers but he is still in a way of comma. The doctors say that he is doing the trainings which they do with him very well and they were proud of him."

Does anyone have any updated information on Tom?
Hoping he has made some progress in the last month, and his family is remaining optimistic of improvement.

Just had an email from Michael, Toms son.
"it hasn't changed anything on toms situation only a few things have improved but he and we don't give up. There is still a lot of hope for him"

Absolutely...
Still thinking about Tom every day. I'm thankful this season that he is with us and recovering.

I've said nothing up until now, but I've just seen 'Paul Walker ' Fast & Furious has passed away, another crash, Jesus, from people I know, he was a real, true Petrol Head and a genuine guy to boot..
So, this even more gets me going..
I remember helping Tom, when he took collection of his GT40, had coffee with him, physically helped him load the car up on the transporter even. He came across as such as ' Good ' guy, one you would want to meet AND talk to.
I had no financial involvement, just happened to be there, so... lend a hand.
But this is the main reason for my post.
As a Sponsoring Vendor, how about all of us, and I mean ALL of us, arranging a Christmas Auction, in aid of Tom's family. Ok, I make parts, but all of us must have parts spare, that are collecting dust.
His family see , or are forwarded our thoughts, how about us helping his family ( I don't believe the money raised will be the the main source of the benefit, more the weight of thought behind it ) and when he finally recovers his faculties, he will know we were rooting for him.
If there is anyone out there that can host a website for this purpose, please contact me. C'mon guys, and I specifically mean you other ' Sponsoring Vendors' ( but also you others reading this post that have spare parts !!! )
step up to the plate please, after all it is Christmas !!

Even a Carrera GT is no match for a tree it appears. As Sgt. Esterhaus used to say, "lets be careful out there........"

I emailed Michael, Toms son for an update, As we know Tom was due to have surgery a little while back.
From Michael today
Yeah sorry for don't writing you. Tom had not had his surgery because of an illness. So we are still waiting for his surgery. At the moment he is doing good and he isn't ill. So I will visit him today an speak to the doctors and I hope that he has a new date for his surgery.
I hope that I can tell you new and positive things about him next email but still there is not a lot new to say.
