Vogon SuperTrooper Posted August 11, 2000 Share Posted August 11, 2000 I have, this morning, discovered a new weight saving mechanism. Try ramming a van, thus saving on the weight of a nosecone which is somewhere on Tottenham Court Road. Water leakage has also helped reduce the load. Finally, my wallet is about to become considerably lighter. The perfect solution? chlrse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Bees Posted August 11, 2000 Share Posted August 11, 2000 Ooops. Will this provide an early test of your insurers claims-handling service? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vogon SuperTrooper Posted August 11, 2000 Share Posted August 11, 2000 Cost will be in the region of £350, the bulk of that being the rad. I'm reluctant to put that on insurance. What do you think? I only have one year's no claims. (I'm no expert on insurance matters having been out of the loop for some years). Wouldn't it be great for Treasury coffers if the police could fine a driver for being 'a dozy twat'. It's a fair cop, guv... Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Bees Posted August 11, 2000 Share Posted August 11, 2000 Given your insurance troubles, and the fact that you presumably have an excess on the policy, I'd not bother with the claim. You may find that the small print obliges you to inform them of the incident... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vogon SuperTrooper Posted August 11, 2000 Share Posted August 11, 2000 My thoughts also. Thanks for the tip. And apologies to moderate clam for hijacking your topic. Chalred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rory McLeod Posted August 11, 2000 Share Posted August 11, 2000 We understand, we have all been dozy twats at times Charles, warm weather, London girls wearing not too many clothes.... Edited by - Rory McLeod on 11 Aug 2000 18:54:28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vogon SuperTrooper Posted August 11, 2000 Share Posted August 11, 2000 The object of my attentions at time of dozy twatdom was actually the spare wheel of a post office van to my right. Not a decent pair of legs in sight. Makes you weep... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderate Clam Posted August 12, 2000 Author Share Posted August 12, 2000 Charles Charley Charles, I would like to add my sypathy to the others... but I would get some help, due to your fascination with _van_ tyres. That doesn't sound to healthy... although probably easier to obtain than one of those long legged, short skirted, attractive women. wink.gif Seriously, although a pain in the bun, it's not _too_ much damage so you should be back on the road again soon. I Hope that you are. (get a black replacement nose, as they are lighter). Edited by - moderate clam on 12 Aug 2000 02:14:48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rory McLeod Posted August 12, 2000 Share Posted August 12, 2000 I agree Mr Clam, that sort of rubber fetish way too off-the-wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vogon SuperTrooper Posted August 13, 2000 Share Posted August 13, 2000 Sadder still, it wasn't so much a rubber thing as wonder at how the nut, crank and winch mechanism held this wheel suspended. And another thing, your honour: why do lorry wheel nuts have those kite-shaped yellow pieces of plastic set behind them? I also blame them for exerting undue fascination and attention distracting properties. Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory McLeod Posted August 13, 2000 Share Posted August 13, 2000 Beware Charles you are headed for the drug and alchohol soaked dissolution of deityship!! Only deities get to REALLY trash their motors, look at Alex! The yellow things that are so distracting from 2 metres away at 90mph (sorry officer) on motorways are simply to tell the driver (of the lorry) that his wheel nuts arent coming undone. This has to rank alongside the tiepin that doubled as a mini flashlight for helping insert a key in a lock at night as one of the worlds most banal inventions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Wong1697456877 Posted August 14, 2000 Share Posted August 14, 2000 And on the 13th day, the Deity said "let there be ignition" and VDU7X roared again, and he looked at it smiled, for it was good.

Vogon SuperTrooper Posted August 15, 2000 Share Posted August 15, 2000 Alex, good news indeed but Mr McLeod seems to have some secret memo from the Great Tyre Supplier in the Sky. Have you divine credit or is a visit to Lucifer's Loot Lenders likely? c Edited by - Charles WRX on 15 Aug 2000 21:13:04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Wong1697456877 Posted August 16, 2000 Share Posted August 16, 2000 On the 14th day, I did inded get a letter from the bank manager...... Still, what's a temporary overdraft for? And who needs more than bread and water? (oh, and beer and fags, and petrol - why are all the good things in life so expensive?) Did the first 30 miles of running in tody and so far so good!
