Simon Pritchard had just started an 18-month, £25,000 (~$50,000) restoration of a 25 year old Lotus Esprit when he was hospitalized due to multiple mini strokes. Amazingly, when fellow members of an online car enthusiast forum heard of Simon's plight, they decided to come together and surprise him by restoring the car in secret.
With the help of hundreds of people, the car was completely restored in only five weeks, and Simon had the surprise of his life when finally reunited with the Lotus. Link [BBC News]
