Tolly showed up at our monthly English car club meeting. He drove over from Tulsa, ~120 miles, to make it. He has a new bionic leg with a picture of a 1959 Le Mans something on it. He looked good. There was talk of him dropping his pants to show it off, but I think we missed that, as we got there a little late.

That is awesome, that man is the best, spent a lot of time with him at Daytona 24 2011, then that news just a few days later was such a shock.

I am so happy he is back bending ears.

I'm not sure what he was driving tonight. In the past, he has come over in a Honduh minivan thing. He brings the weird stuff to the shows and events. Also, I think not having a leg makes a manual transmission difficult. There was talk of him modding up one of his oddball cars to accommodate it.

Most humble regards and best wishes! Buy him one on my account.

If Toly has the new leg, (first in the U.S., second in the World), it is fully computerized including the knee, ankle and foot. The one has a scene from a Le Mans start with a big "Z" that has Zagato and Milano on it.

Good news = new leg. Bad news = another learning curve.

Thanks for this. I've frequently wondered about his status.
