Fings wot broke

[Mick Dempsey]

Crikey, that's a mess.

Last night I backed into my truck with my pick up, broke exactly the same lens (€140) that I broke doing exactly the same thing 2 weeks ago.

Muppetry!

Carrying on the theme this is what happened to our baby tanker in April. Thankfully driver was fine, just a bit bruised.

Yikes!!!!!

 

Could the driver not have stuffed it into something before he got to the bottom of the hill?

 

My grandma aways told of a time her and my granddad were in the lakes, she was driving (she generally did) at the top a very steep hill she exclaimed that the brakes had failed, the peddle just hit the floor.

 

Cool as a cucumber my granddad leans over takes hold of the wheel and stuffs the car into the drystone wall, my grandma was appalled!! until he pointed out it was far better to hit the wall here at low speed rather than at the bottom of hill doing who knows what speed!!!

Chassis on a friends tw150. Was spotted way too late but luckily not too late.

 

Yes it should have been spotted sooner, one side looked like it was fairly a old crack.

 

It's about 10 yrs old and goes over a lot of speed humps and an unmade road

and an unmade road

 

 

Ha ha; is that what you call it?! The Yanks invented the Jeep to deal with terrain like that.

Unfortunately this tw wasn't built for terrain like that.

Near bodiam mark, he tried to get it round the corner but it rolled. It was only just down the road from a primary school at kicking out time, so could have been much worse.

Just out of curiosity I checked the price in the UK for that rear lens. £22.50 against €140 here.

Nothing a bit of grinding welding and plating wont sort out.

Bent grapple. Both fingers out of line and twisted. Heated it up with the gas and AHT50 nozzle. Using the leavers the twist came out. More heat to get both fingers back it line. AHT50 to get it hot and keeping it warm with the cutting head, yep needed two gas sets to do it. 3 tonne bottle jack to bend the fingers so they clear each other bit of sledge hammering to try and take the outer bend out. Then a quick test on the hydraulics to see if it works properly and of course they still catch. So more jacking bending hammering and it works at last.
