What did you do with whatever else you've got?

[ChristoT]

spent five hours in the bottom of my boat replacing the fuel tank and lines.fat bloke in a small hole not good

ok........thats more than a few times you've mentioned your boat......think its time for a piccie 

oh......while we're on the subject, ive found a boat related item in my garage that will be of more use to you than me   

Hand on, I think Midden's about to buy it for when he follows rodyork on his epic trip! Don't bust the deal, man! 

[mr self destruct]

Defo kill me. Been round that corner hundreds of times, today, it decides to completely lose the rear end, go sideways along the road (nearly rolling), before trying to spit me off the road backwards. Impressive skidmarks all round!

Did you happen to take foot off accelerator by chance instead of on it some more?

No, but as it went sideways, I hit the clutch - I didn't want iot going in a field!! As the car came to a halt, I found my foot was still locked on the accelerator, revving away! I definitely had the foot off the clutch when the arse kicked out, as I was trying to apply corrective steering.

How are your rear wheel bearings? I've had a borrowed mk2 Jetta sideways in just the same situation due to a rear wheel jamming with the side loads. Got home to find the bearing knackered. Would've been nice of the lad to tell me beforehand. 

[ChristoT]

Funny, I had an advisory on a worn bearing on the rear at the MOT. Thought it was just the garage trying to make an easy buck off me. May have to reassess its seriousness...

[Dead Eye]

*facepalm*

So you received health information about your car that could cause issues (including accidents) and decided it wasn't worth bothering with... even just to check yourself :|

I think I'm with nick on this one... maybe its time to go back to your pedal bike...

[ChristoT]

I wasn't aware it could lock up the rear, and the car felt stable. Like I said, time to reassess.

[kitcrazy]

there you go an old 27ft seamaster

[red98]

Nice one mr crazy........has the old girl got a name ?   

[kitcrazy]

thanks red.do you mean the misses or the boat

[red98]

Thats 2 pictures of the mrs you have posted on here.......iam not counting though       .....so, you have a blue boat,is it a slow one thats not too good on the corneers......

[kitcrazy]

  5mph with the wind behind us.its not going to be blue for long if we get some dry weather im ging to 2 pack it white

[red98]

Look much better white...and a lot quicker, mrs will be able to ski behind   

[slimwilly]

Wow  Mr Crazy,,,can we all go to Cowes week on that ,,you can come if you want to

[mr self destruct]

I wasn't aware it could lock up the rear, and the car felt stable. Like I said, time to reassess.

If you can hear it rumbling it needs replacing mate, I noticed it as soon as I picked up the Jetta. Throw the weight onto the side of the car with the suspect bearing (i.e. if right hand bearing, steer left) and it'll get a lot louder.


The job itself is a piece of cake, so no need to get the garage involved.

Crashed my car into a deer  . Damage is not the worst though, should be able to get it roadworthy with some gaffa tape and a trip to the scrapyard

Completed my 150 mile cycle ride (Whitehaven to Sunderland), acting as shepherd/sweeper for nigh on 30 other riders.


Whole thing was to raise money for MacMillan Cancer Support - they gave fantastic care to my dad when he was diagnosed with terminal cancer in late '05 - anyone here who wishes to help out their family and friends who suffer with cancer, can add a bit of sponsorship via our (my wife and I) Just Giving page.

Here's hoping you're all a generous bunch of Foccers (more generous than Aprilia owners at least).

I wasnt far off with my assessment it seems....


Pics of my quality repair job. From this:



To this:



As I say, not perfect, and a bit ropey, but at least it's safe and roadworthy.

Had to pay the bloody DVLA £80 as LLP on my last Fazer, despite me explaining the situation directly. If there is even the slightest hint of a fuck-up when I send my licence in for derestriction, there's gonna be blood!
