The Cal-look Lounge

Frank Da Hoff (WhiteTrash) on here.

I know some of you guys know him so you may want to know this. He was at work on Friday and though it would be good to remove his right hand from his arm.

He is now in surgery hope he will be OK.

Oh no! Please give him my regards, and keep us updated on his recovery. GET WELL SOON!

Johnny.

I only just heard today and I can't believe it  :o and i thought my wrist was bad  ::) GET WELL SOON BUDDY  ;D ;D ;D

Ben and Eve

Martin If you want a hand with his car next week let me know, still in a bit of shock from earlier when you told me   ???

I was told earlier today, only saw him last week.  Understand its a mess, hope all is well.  Send him my best.

good luck  >:( :-X

Is Franck that comes to SCC with the Mitsubishi and Underdog?

What a sad news. I don't want to know how he did this. It's frightening.  :'(

I cross my fingers and hope he can regain his hand   :-[ :-[

Yep it sure is dude - I still can't believe it  :o :'(

Just talked to the Hospital and he is still in surgery been there all day. Frank works as a Lifting Equipment and Industrial Door Engineer and trapped his hand in a door as it was lifting up.

Get well dude,  :o

Get well soon Frank,
Martin can you pass on our best wishes & keep us posted mate?
Cheers,
Kev

We were utterly shocked too, if we can do anything to help let us know. Get well soon Frank :)

Martin

Thanks for leting me know this morning it was really appreaciated, like the others I am also totally shocked.

Yes, Frank in his own time drove all the way to SCC with underdog, collected many cars from the strip over the weekend and then drove home with the Dog and Der Express again in his own time, he spent all weekend trying to get the Der Express running and eventually took her up the strip himself on the Sunday. What a top bloke.

Frank, we all wish you a speed recovery and home that the Doctors can work some magic... We all want Da Hoff behind a wheel and racing again, Good luck mate.

Martin in the short term if i can help in anyway let me know. Please keep me posted daily. thanks

Hey Frank, shocked to hear the bad news! Really hope you get well soon dude! If you need any help with anything at all, please do not hesitate to call or tell Boom Boom. I hope the operations are a success Frank and that all goes well. Best regards and sympathy, matt

Just talked to him he out of surgery he is going to have another op on Tuesday. So looks like he going to be in the Hospital for a week. ;D

Both Debbie and I are still in shock at the terrible news we just hope that the operation is a success. Frank is very spirited, funny extremely positive person and we pray that this will pull him through this difficult time.

GET WELL SOON FRANK

In our thoughts Paul & Debbie

what a shock! frank - ALL THE BEST! and i hope the operation will be successful!!!

I too have also just heard (text message) from Frank and he sound positive and hopes to get out be the end of week, I dont know the extend of the damage but lets hope they can work wonders regardless.

What a shock! It's hard to find words...

Frank, we wish you all the best and our thoughts are with you! Get well soon!

Georg  & all the memebers of DFL

That sounds nasty, hope you gain full usability in the hand again!!
Get well soon!
And THANKS for helping out at SCC!!

To everyone who are offering to help he did say he is having trouble wiping his ass with his left hand. He said he keeps put his finger through the paper. :D

So feel free to pop down to Oxford and give him a hand. ;D

Hope it goes as well as possible from here.

Frank,this really sucks :( 
Hopefully you are in good hands,if a nurse offers to help you and she mentions she knows Martin,get the f**k out of there,shes a vet ;) :) 

Will get down to see you soon,if you need somewhere warm to recuperate,let me know and I will see what we can do :)

Kalle

Frank, hope you recover well!

Thank you again for your help @ SCC

Best wishes,

Trond

That's pretty shit news Frank! Pleased to hear you're in good spirit though and it sounds like you've got some good surgeons on the case. That said they probably only have imperial tools and whatever happens don't let them any where near you on a Friday.

Sal & Mat.

When Martin phoned me from Slough yesterday, I was shocked. I'm not a religious person at all, but our prayers are with you, Frank.

Get well soon Frank!



Martin & Julie.

Mags

Bloody hell Frank! I really don't know what to say, apart from get well soon mate. And watch out for Martin in a doctors white coat or a nurses uniform...

Get well soon Frank. You'll still be out racing before Boom Boom :)

And be careful when he asks to check your temperature... :o

Especially with his vetinary skills ;D

In there a week, Frank might be in need of 'relief' !!!  :D

Lee

Martin is collecting the car at the week end from the shot blasters I think.

I can help out Sat afternoon or Sunday or 11.30am onward next Wed


 

Just spoke with the Hoff and he sounds in very good spirits. Has feeling in four of his fingers, which is amazing considering.
It sounds like he's going to be out of hospital this weekend! Good news!

Great news! Hope to see you on the track (or on a moped as stunt-pilot) next year.
Get well!!

Greets
Jelle

Cool, I spoke to him earlier in the afternoon and he was just about to goin in for the last op, I guess it happened then, finally.  8)

There's a nice nurse there aparently but she's not back on shift until Sunday, I'm betting he has a 'slight relapse'.  ;D

You guys beat me to it yes he is well and cant wait to get out.  ;D

great to hear
keep up the faith Frank
hope to see you soon on the track again

COOOOOOL  ;D

That's a very good news  :) :)

It seems he's been very lucky with the operation to recover so quickly!

Good news! I hope his hand will heal properly again

Barring missing said nurse.  :)


Made In Germany.  :o

Im one of the guys that got trailerd back from yhe track by frank at scc (the berryll bomber). Wery nice guy who did a great job and i hope he will be back on his feet soon.

Hi everybody,

First thanks for all the well wishing

just got told that i can leave today,although yesterday i thought i'll be here for a couple more days and a friend brought me a laptop to get online.
I was lucky in that it happend in Oxford as the hospital is one of the leading plastical surgery places in the UK.
If it happend in Portsmouth i would have proberbly woken up with a hook on my arm and a parrot on my shoulder. ;D
I had 3 op's which went well and they made a good job. Have got feeling in 4 fingers and should be able to move them and my wrist ok with some therapy. It'll take a few months but I'll be fit again for spring and next summer.
Good job to get out as well as it's so boring in hospitals apart from flirting with the nurses and i can make to Berlin next week for a few days for my mum's birthday. I've not told her about the missing middle finger yet, so that'll be a suprise  ;D

Always look at the bright side of life

Cheers Frank

good to hear your in high spirits Frank ;D

Now that's funny!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Might get harder to express your feelings in traffic without that finger... but it still seems like your well off.. all things considered!  :)

Good to hear from you dude  ;D

yes indeed good to hear that things went so well considering the circonstances. hope the recovery goes as good and all will be fine soon. take care

I´m very happy to hear that you´re quite okay, Frank!
I wish you a speedy recovery!

Tobi

Well, I'm sure Martin will be able to tell you how to exercise your wrist...  :D

Great news! Did you get to keep the finger as a spare?

Great to hear your back and about Frank , will catch up with you on Sunday , no firm hand shake's promise  ;D

Good news Franck  :)

good to hear it sounds as if it went well, all the best.

Good news Frank!

Hope your able to hold a beer with that hand soon.. ;D

Great news Hoff 8)

thats great news that things seem to be going well!.....best wishes dude!
