Well just got back from playing pool with Gibbo Phil, I got my ass wooped big style. Damn Note to remember never bet on a pool game with Phil!.
There should be a paper gasket.it wasnt as hot to day so not that many out and about
just been out for a drive in the 90 and notice a slight whinning noise. got back home and checked diff levels. front one is really low. i mean cant even feel the oil level with my finger! does any one know if there a gasket in between the diff housing and the axel housing? as i believe its been off before as theres easy gasket coming out around it and its weaping oil.
cheers dale
So they use the "old boy network" then?Shame cos that is amazingly effective.Land access issues have always been up for contention with walkers, espcially those with dogs.And its clear who the favor lies with, ya can shoot the dogs if there being a nuisance.Gooney, in answer to your question...
When you start to ask how much clout the RA has, it is necessary to look at the type of people that the RA counts as members. Most of the members are run of the mill walkers who use the RA resources to enhance their own hobby... nothing wrong with that. It is the governing body of the association, however, that pose the most threat to other users of the countryside.
Those people tend to be higher income; higher profile members of the organisation who have access to MPs for lobbying purposes. They have a superb command of the english language as used in politics (not to be confused with the straight talking we find at grass roots forum level here), and the influence to ensure that their opinions are noted by their local council members as well as their local MPs.
They do tend to have one failing though. The ramblers association is not a popular group among land owners, especially farmers. Mt own rsearch this week has highlighted a couple of cases where ramblers are trying to sue farmers for the actions of cows on their farms, when they appeared to take a defensive stance to protect their newborn.
I have spoken to a local farmers wife who complains bitterly about finding ramblers sitting in their garden, using their personal picnic table to eat their lunch and dropping litter all over their garden, simply because their garden has a gate at one end! This is not an exageration I assure you and it happened in Toddington a village just a couple of miles away from me.
The RA is, without doubt, the body of people who pose almost the most threat to our beloved passtime.
The other body of people are the assholes. The rogue drivers and motorcyclists who have been described before and will be again I am sure. These are the people who give the RA the ammunition they need.
With the right ammunition, and the degree of influence the RA has at its disposal, we face an almost insurmountable obstacle. While the Green Laning community stands so fragmented we don't have a chance in hell.
First year in 5 i aint going.Rubbish!Totty watch: M25 very good today, lots heading to v festival, so I don't mind sitting in stationary traffic! :-D
As you turn right onto stanage after the car park?Thats a challenging enough lane!:doh:I can understand why we got dodgy stares as we did that, but we didnt go off piste.Your right get em crushed.The scrap value would pay for a plod to sit on the lane policing it.From what we saw on one of the lanes across a moor in Derbyshire, it was disgraceful where some idiots had gone off piste tearing up the moor. The lane was superb in it's own right. I'd crush their motors.
Lanes this evening...
Not many offers as yet. i would call a few of you, but I am lacking phone numbers... I think i'll pm my number to those of you who i know....
Spyderman - I don't appear to have your number, so call me if you want to go out.
