So, i just drove......

all the way home with me handbrake on. So thats why she felt sluggish then
The rear wheels are red hot and it stinks so bad!
Someone revoke my license before i do any real damage!

Dude...

You donger

You were just bedding the brakes in!

We have all done it sometime or another!

Smelt burning following you back

bugger!! i do that kind of thing all the time!!

that prob doesnt make you feel any better does it?!!

I think I've done it too, nearly went into the back of mr nice on the way to bug jam when I did try to brake !

She drove to work ok this morning so no harm done but i guess i'll be replacing the rear shoes a bit earlier than anticipated....Im such a dick

We could start a new motorsport, see who gets back fastest with their hand brake on , you wouldnt have to worry about your dodgy handling then

Do need to sort that, feels like i'm driving on custard

is that why you have to check that you've not left it on every 5 minutes when you're driving?

I thought I checked more often than that !

I edited it from every 30 seconds

just a quick question while the subject is about breaks and funny smells..

What would cause a burning rubbery smell, possibly from the front of the camper..? I have no sense of smell but my friends have noticed it a a few times now.. would it have anything to do with the breaks.?

more likely tyre rubbing than brakes by the sound of it. you'd know about a problem with brakes through other symptoms before you noticed any 'smell' from them I expect

Yeah like the bus not going very fast even when your flooring it

I was thinking could be rubbing on the inner wing if not set up right... dunno much about skips T3s though tbh

I like people to look up to me for starters and I like perving into cars waiting at the lights driven by lovely looking ladies.. so no slammin' it for me...lol

Would it be coz the tracking is out do you think.?

Good call

I had a horrid dream last night ! I was at a show and went to a chippy to get fish n chips (chippy chap was selling used but washed plastic forks to eats chips with for 20p) and the fish was the size of a teabag), got back to the bus, but it wasn't there ! So I went on a bus hunt, involving going on a train too I was convinced that my handbrake had failed and the bus had rolled away.

Sooo ...I borrowed spams bus and drove it out of the show looking for my bus (she was in her bus to, looking for something), but then, as I was going down a hill, the handbrake came off in my hand ! I paniced, possibly because I was trying to drive the bus from the passenger seat, I didn't crash the bus tho ! , I made some rather nifty swerves to go round corners, and then I woke up I hadn't even had a drink last night !

From dream moods.com

To dream that you are driving a car, denotes your ambition, your drive and your ability to navigate from one stage of your life to another. Consider how smooth or rough the car ride is. If you are driving the car, then you are taking an active role in the way your life is going. However, if you are the passenger, then you are taking a passive role. If you are in the backseat of the car, then it indicates that you are putting yourself down and are allowing others to take over. This may be a result of low self-esteem or low self-confidence. Overall, this dream symbol is an indication of your dependence and degree of control you have on your life.

To dream that you car has been stolen, indicates that you are being stripped of your identity. This may relate to losing your job, a failed relationship, or some situation which has played a significant role in your identity and who you are as a person.

To dream that your car is overheating, suggests that you are expending too much energy and need to slow down or run the risk of becoming burnt out. You may be taking on more than you can handle. It is time to take a breather.

To see a parked car in your dream, suggests that you need to turn your efforts and energies elsewhere. You may be needlessly spending your energy in a fruitless endeavor. Alternatively, a parked car may symbolize your need to stop and enjoy life. To dream that you cannot find where you parked your car, suggests that you do not know where you want to go in life.

To dream that you are almost hit by a car, suggests that your lifestyle, beliefs or goals may be in conflict with another's. It may also be symbolic of a jolting experience or injured pride. To dream that you are unable to roll up the windows of your car, suggests that you are showing some hesitation and reservation about the direction that you are taking in life or the path that you have chosen.

Interesting.... And the plastic chippy forks (which I refused to buy) means what ?
