Getting ready for 3ma10

[curt]

If it took 3 hours - Theo was at home -and his car was in essex 

You did change the inner race race rings as well didnt you theo ?

You need to copperslip the inside of your wheels if it took 10 mins to get the wheel off 

Well done

cheers

  My arms are simply not long enough any more....

Simon, this was a DIY job done at home.

You did change the inner race race rings as well didnt you theo ?

Both inner and outer race rings and bearings were replaced as well as the rear seal ring.

Here's a photo of the kit used:

Great news!      
My CD of the forthcoming 2010 Eurovision Song Contest arrived today so I have my sounds for the drive to Germany! 
All that remains to do is pack.....

[curt]

Personally - Id rather have the whine of a noisy wheel bearing 
If you still have the old bearings - I would put them back in 
Failing that -knock your exhaust off again 
I think your 131 is trying to tell you something 

All meant in good spirits of course-have a good journey and to be honest eurovision is better music than most of the modern day stuff anyway 

Why do i have this feeling of impending doom about what i have just written

You'll be ok Curt!  If anything should go wrong then there'll be plenty of us with (limited? ) 131 mechanical knowledge enough to fix the problem. If not then we are all covered by Europe-wide breakdown cover so we shouldn't have any issues - I hope! 

I had a lift with Theo on Saturday to get my Abarth back and was utterly amazed to find him listening to a CD that was not Eurovision music! I thought that was all he listened too! Turns out he quite likes 'Classic Rock' - so I borrowed the CD for my 100 mile journey home!

Turns out he quite likes 'Classic Rock'

Of course I do   I'm a 70's kid and that sort of music got embossed into our DNA  

[sid131]

do you remember the punk scene 76 77 in London Theo, were you living there then?

[Thotos]

Yes I was living in London then (in fact I was born in London) and of course I remember the Punk scene. But Punk music is probably the only music genre that I never got into. In the mid to late 70s I was very much into Rock music (what they later called 'Heavy Metal') and mainly progressive rock. ELP was by far my favourite band  and still is one of my favourites

  Most certainly!

Another favourite band was J?rgen Fritz's Triumvirat which was a German copy of ELP. Do you know of them Roland?  I feel like changing my music selection now for the trip to Germany.....

[simon131]

I've just downloaded most of my Scorpions CDs onto my son Ashley's Zen Mosaic MP3 player so we shall be 'rocking' to that, as well as Magnum, my favourite group!

Of course I do. I have it and I have all the Triumvirat LPs and now CDs. My favourite is Old Loves Die Hard  but some days it's Pompeii and then on other days it's A la carte ....    

Ok, you've convinced me, must pack all my Triumvirat CDs for the trip.....  

[simon131]

I prefer Brain Salad Surgery and Trilogy myself. Weird - but wonderful at the same time.

CDs Theo? I thought you were a technology guru? What happened to your iPod/MP3 player?

[jasonh131]
