Im not sure about everyone

but there is something on the road that is starting to really damn annoy me and it must stop

Ill set the scene , I was lying on my couch today half asleep enjoying one of my last days of holidays. The sun was out the birds were making peaceful noises, I had a ice cold bourbon at my side and was in heaven

I then got a very rude awakening by a high pitched dull monotonous tune!

YES IT WAS THE evil mr whippy , for the Fifth FUc*ing time this week!

driving slowly up and down my street in a 1950's ice cream truck painted pink!

Does anyone else have to contend with this sort of menace, what do you suggest I should do , take out a restraining order against mr whippy???

your advice would be appreciated

i love the sound of Mr Whippy coming down the street reminds me of being a kid again ...... when i was little i used to get so excited over that sound and started concoting ideas about how to get $2 for an icecream out of my folks.

Nah sorry VOTE ONE WHIPPY!!!

LOL - this brings back memories of the Simpsons episode where Homer's goal in life is to be 300lb so he can work from home... At the end of the episode, Homer steals a ice cream van and drives it to the power plant to save the reactor.

Anyway, after he drives through the fence, all the staff jump on the ice cream van and try to order ice creams.. LOL

Anyway, you have to be there,

P.S. Isn't it funny how there's a Simpson's episode for every 'moment' in life :)

I went to the danny green boxng fight at couple of weeks back and when singing the national anthem it had more of a dance tune background music...

I'm thinking lets make a mr whippy drum N Bass remix or break beats remix of it.. with a few vocals...

"Put your hands up in the air, put your hands up in the air......"

Don't worry about the music comin out of his speaker worry about the sad arse engine that sucker is running.

If I were you id run out there and give him the low down on how to strap a bug mutha RB26DETT to that sucker, chuck on some nitto 555r's and rock that baby down the motorplex!!!!!!!!

Ohh yeah grab one of those sundae thingo's in the cup he sells, they taste mad!!!

how bout "Put your hands up in the air.............if you want ice cream, Put your hands up in the air..............if you want ice cream"

the mr whippy song is called Greensleeves...... Dan I would buy a break-beats mix of that hahahaha

Whenever i hear the ice cream I think of Eddie Murphy in Delerious - ICCEEECREEAAMMM THE ICECREAM MAN IS COOOOMMMMMING. I've got an icecream and you cant have none, cause your dads an alcoholic and your on the welfare.... you cant afford it, you cant afford it. :)

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
