Broke the motor today @ Boxgrove

[solarman216]

Yep broke OS torsion bar today but not before winching the Range Rover on the left and the Suzuki (think) on the right, from one possition, took the cable out to the Suz first through a block and on to the Rangie, Suzi came out easy Rangi never moved, once Suzi was out of the way moved the block to the trees to the left, came out no problem, headed back to the car park for a break and suspension broke so loaded up and walked back to see how the others were getting on and you can see they called one of the Suzi's a boat, great day lovely and sticky, even if it was cut short, hope this photobucket thing works, Rick http://i821.photobucket.com/albums/zz134/solarman216/DSCN2937.jpg only one pic?? should be more??

Thanks Pete, got it now, upon examining the TB it had a long standing rust spot on the break that went in about half way, so it was waiting to happen, could have been much worse had it gone in the rough instead of just out side the car park, and I have a spare, Rick

Oh yea that was posted a while ago, it is a demonstration of a drivers air bag face down on the ground and set off, food for thought, went more than 20 feet into the air, Rick

yes it was perfect, for everyone getting stuck, and there were loads of clean road going motors there today, in fact it was a very busy day altogether, well over 150 motors to my estimate, but there were not many that braved where we went, and all those that did got stuck, so did we but have a winch, so no probs, Rick
