I think it hit the ground on the second roll. Or was it the third Slackers? I guess you weren't paying attention to such things at the time

I did think that, but the rest of the car is immaculate, I thought if he'd rolled it it would have caved the roof in.
Car looks fine Slackers, don't know what you're complaining about!

The other side did cave in (and yes it was mine, rolled twice I think, not to sure, I just held on to the wheel tight)...

Complete insurance write-off. The worst thing of all is that I have no way of mentioning anything about my wife's (erratic) driving as the retort is invariably "Yes, but I haven't write written a car off".

Ah, I see,
must have been bleedin' scary! good work though, rolling a car has to be on some sort of list of things to do before you die...tick!

I hate that.

I imagine it's the last item a lot of people manage to tick

I know it's not outdoors but finally managed to crack a V5 at the wall and a second problem is close to going as well, feels like it's all coming together now.

A kind of cumulative YYFY from today this one...

Had a great day out - got out on Grit for the first time since the 23rd Dec at the Cliff.. Great conditions (though windy). I was as weak as a kitten and didnt do any problems I'd never done, but had a new (very promising) bit of beta for Underhand which has moved it a step closer, good sequence working on Stu's LH and the heels on my new Dragons were SUPERB...
I stopped off in Leeds on the way back for a cuppa with an old mate that I hadnt seen for a while, and got home to find I'd only had 4 emails all day - none of which needed responding to.

Top day.

Pick up my car ('02 Micra ) in two weeks. Can't wait!

Best climbing car going in my (heavily biased) opinion. If you see a muddy, blue Micra at the crag with a Works sticker on it that'll be me!

yyfy - my second 7c went down yesterday

yyfy - got banned from the other channel for telling someone to choke on my cock

Mine's red and will soon have the regulation mud and stickers. Anyone who sees it in a crag car park in the near future is probably best advised not to park too close!

Picked it up yesterday. Turns out my Grandad's been driving it with one front brake binding against the wheel so it steers into the middle of the road constantly- this is probably the cause of the recent near-misses that prompted him to quit driving and give the car to me!

Seans Arete at Curbar

Special thanks to FD, Norton, Dolly and others

Nice one tomtom, I'll be after some beta for that from you, find it nails.

Norton Sharley · January 22, 2011, 07:29:12 pm

How tall are you?

Will Hunt · January 22, 2011, 07:45:52 pm

Bloody hell, Tom. Good effort

mark s · January 23, 2011, 09:17:33 am

If the brakes have been binding get the bearing checked out.it can fuck them up.

Cheers for the advice mate.

It's in the garage now- the guy's a family friend so he'll hopefully sort the whole thing out.

I'm rapidly learning the hassle and expense of car ownership! It'll be worth it once I'm hitting the crags under my own steam, though.

SA Chris · January 23, 2011, 07:05:11 pm

Just don't hit the crags too hard. Or anything for that matter.

No, probably about half the regular users? The rest of us are from civilised places :0)
