| In all honesty... I prefer that the crawler made the plunge rather than you... I hope epoxy glue is not to expensive in the Uk... |

| That had to be the single funniest thing all year I'm not sure what was better, the noise John made when the truck disappeared out of sight, or the half dozen 'mates' looking over the edge, spotting parts and shouting directions to him  Excellent day though, I'm raiding my Clod parts bins as a thank you for the entertainment Do TCS do parachutes? |

| Damn dude that sucks. I had something similar happen to my scaler but the drop was only 8 feet. I had to completely rebuild it. I rebuilt it better than it was to start with. Best of luck to you on the rebuild. |
