And have your number marked on the drone. You also can’t fly within 500m of an airfield- something our car transport neighbours ignore. nomiST 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobblers Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 10 hours ago, beko1987 said: A few years ago I had a campsite booked, a pub meal booked, monday booked off work and was all set for a couple of nights away in the camper and a nice hike all day. I was really looking forward to it. Sunday lunch time, just before I set off I decided to take the back wheel off the Talbot for one reason or another. It was something inconsequential. The wheel was stuck onto the drum a bit, so I gave it a boot and it came off, taking the drum with it. When the drum came off, it pulled the shoes off the backplate and the fixing springs and clips all shot off across the carpark and one of the pistons on the wheel cylinder popped out, rolled across the floor and all the brake fluid just started pouring out of the hole. I just sat there, shaking my head watching it drain onto the floor for about ten minutes in silence.

Last one holiday booked, clutch pedal drops to floor night before-no problem take the spare and we will fix it later. Spare parked in morning and after work family member gets into it- no clutch pedal- fluid from concentric slave. Two clutch jobs later on same model car in 2 weeks FFS. 60 and 80 k on 2010 vehicles- both broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Oh and an actual grin. Kipped up on't hills last night. Bought myself a bivvy bag and a lightweight sleeping bag and head off up there for the warm night, "supermoon" and the meteor showers. Well pleased with myself that I managed to get all my gear (and beer) into my 30 litre backpack. Less pleased when I got out there to find I'd forgotten to take my sleeping bag. Amazing views sleeping under the stars - Saw more shooting stars last night than I have in my life, and the moon was unreal. "luxury" Considering my shelter was a glorified bin liner and I'd forgot my sleeping bag, I had a really good kip and slept til about 7AM when a load of deer trampled past. 100% recommended inconsistant, GMcD, Lacquer Peel and 29 others 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What made me grin, the new wording on well known blue bag of doom merchants Britpart's packaging.
