popeye Posted June 18, 2018 Author Report Posted June 18, 2018 Had a check yesterday.... Shaft looks ok. needs new bearings. front spring hanger slight damage ( sort that out with some heat and a hammer ) and a new disc..... n/s rims centre and tyre are scrap .. How the tyre managed to pop out without taking the wing with is beyond me.... Copper told me to stop moaning about the motor and to be thank full.. when asking me the speed I was doing, I said 55mph . he lent over and told me not to talk Boll--ks.... ( ok 72mph ) as the marks on the road tell a different story... so now while it's back in the shed.. a few more job's shall be done.

Ray Posted June 18, 2018 Report Posted June 18, 2018 hi Gary you mean the man with more than one name, that left his car there and ran I don't, he was the only one that didn't give his number to anyone 1
popeye Posted June 18, 2018 Author Report Posted June 18, 2018 The Man With No Name... You still make me laugh m8.. yes that's the chap, he wanted to run the stand at the NEC as I am not doing that show again. but I have no number on him !
colr6 Posted June 18, 2018 Report Posted June 18, 2018 He's not changed then? Never there when you want him...lol should change his name to the scarlet pimpernel !!
stephens_xpack Posted June 19, 2018 Report Posted June 19, 2018 Felt my ears burning and guessed it might be you lot.... Sorry Gary, have pm'd you mate. Would love to do the NEC again, I loved it, especially the walking around and not being on the stand bit.... As long as I can get a helper for all of the kit, and the OSF powers that be are ok with it, I am there. 1
stephens_xpack Posted June 19, 2018 Report Posted June 19, 2018 Ps Gary.....Glad you didn't do too much damage, shit like that usually happens to me, attention span of gnat. Like Col says, at least you managed not to touch that gorgeous paint work. hope you sort it soon mate. and when next out and about in Southend, let me and Ray know, be good to meet/catch up.
